22oz bomber(courtesy of RSRIZZO)-A pitch black body with a nice small tight tan head which emits an aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, cherry, and a faint of oak. Taste of this full bodied brew is of chocolate, coffee, with a nice oaky finish. A little light for a stout but still very tasty.

Bomber with MaliMisho. Poured dark black with a dark brown head as if to imitate an imperial stout (the bottle lists it as an ’empirical stout’). Aroma and flavor strongly of chocolate and some thick cherry. Not has heavy as I would have expected from looking at it.

Poured dark brown with ruby highlites with an off-white head. Aroma of milk chocolate, cherry, a bit of wood and smoke. Flavor follows with chocolate, smoke, charcoal, and quite a bit of fruit essence. Decent flavor is watered down a bit by a sub-par body. A decent stout that didn’t blow me away.

Provided by jasonp. Dark brown with a medium-sized light tan head. Dark chocolate, roasty nose wth light brown sugar. The flavor is relatively dry with dark chocolate, light molasses, coffee and roast. Medium body is soft with moderate carbonation.

22oz bottle, courtesy of jasonp. Thanks, Jason! Pours a dark, clear cherry-cola color; khaki-colored head with fine-bubbled lacing. Upfront aroma showing oatmeal, chocolate, and cardboard in the aroma; not an exceptional oak character at all. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: plenty of roasted and charred malts, dark chocolate, and toasted malts; slightly hollow chocolate notes, with an artificial oak presence; all but certainly oak chips; cardboard and vanilla syrup. Medium finish showing chocolate and roast in the finish; some toasted malts.
