Bottle into a mug. Very dark color with a thinner head. Malty and chocolate flavors but not at all sweet. Great beer!

huge pop when i opened the bottle.huge 4 inch head with about 1 inch of beer.aroma is cardboard,funk,and some porter type characteristics like chocolate,and coffee.flavor is dominated by infection.this ones going down the drain.

Thanks JCB for sharing. Pours a dark black showing some light. The head is a thin light tan. The nose shows diacetyl, butterscotch, mild infection, popcorn. The flavor is roasty, astringent bite, bitter, waxy. Waxy and bitter mouthfeel. Not very good.

bomber by way of moelikebeer... pours a slightly hazy chestnut-y brown with a short lived tannish head. the nose shows a bit of cheesey spent coffee along with nutty caramel, toasty grain, a touch of grassiness and some stank from the hops. the palate is slightly tingly. flavors of toasted nuts, caramel, chocolate, woody roast, soapy floral hops (when warmed) and a light ashiness before a surprisingly spicy finish. throughout, there is a pleasant acidity which helps keep it easy to drink. the body is medium though a bit on the thin side. sharp carbonation combined with acidity, ash and dryness makes it go down quickly. it’s not bad... just lacking some depth and complexity. 6/3/6/3/13/3.1

22oz bottle purchased at Chucks in Chagrin. Pour gave a rather copious head, and its hanging in there. Aroma smells a little sour out of the bottle but is mostly a dry chocolate and heavily roasted malt and some light coffee notes. The flavor is actually find out sour, too bitter and not that enjoyable.

Bomber that I forgot about- probably pushing a year old. It didn’t explode while in the cellar, so we are off to a good start! Pours a dark ebony with some garnet highlites when held up to the light. Minimal head but fine lacing. Nose- light roast, dark chocolate. Taste- quite dry, surprisingly spicy for style, chocolate, medium fruitiness, nuts. Carbonation is a little high, and the finish is metallic. Drinkability is not too bad.

Bottle and an infected one at that. Sour, roasted and not so good. Seems like it could have been good, but it wasnt.

Bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a longlasting off-white head. Has a spicy malty aroma with some roasted hints and hints of chocolate. Sweetish roasted malty spicy chocolate and licorice flavor. Has a long roasted malty spicy finish with hints of chocolate in the aftertaste.
