| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Bomber from yobdoog at PPRBSG-. Pours a deep dark oily viscous black with almost a violet highlight as it pours and a thin lasting deep tan head. Aroma is bourbon, sharp toasted malts, roasty and good fresh chocolate malt- big on the fruitiness as well, aloing with a red wine like tannic hint- oak and vanilla come out a bit more as it warms as does the burny bourbon. Flavor is a bit bigger in the vanilla, and oak- also more wine and fruit- big nutty roasty coffee like burnt malts as well- slight licorice spicy kick and tarry and tannic in the end with a bourbon alcohol kick. Big BA imperial stout with lots of tannins all the way through- nice though. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA

Medium sweet chocolate with what I thought was BB but it appears not to be the case. A medium full bodied beer. Very nice. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Rich sweet milk chocolate, soft fruity and a bit of sweet cocoa as well. Rich, silken palate with a very intense cocoa/chocolate sweetness. A kiss of herbal licorice comes through on the back of the palate. Rich and intense and totally awesome. Damn, this stuff is delicious! dogfish120love (263), west hartford, Connecticut, USA
