Apr 16, 2009 Bomber (three to four years old): Pours jet black with a thin brown head, aroma has huge chocolate, coffee and pine with notes of oranges, starts and ends bitter with a long bitter smoky chocolate/caramel ending. Thick bodied with oily mouthfeel, mild carbonation and just plain yummy.

Apr 13, 2009 Updated: May 19, 2009A great complex Imperial stout. Perhaps missing the smoothness and ultra complexity of the oak aged, but still damn fine. Big flavour of choclate, smoke and dark fruits..Lots of hops for the style too so nice and bitter

Apr 3, 2009 Pours a thick oily black with a thin tan head that receedes quickly. Aroma is hot alcohol, coffee, soy sauce, and chocolate. Taste is more of the same plus citrus hops Pours a thick oily black with a thin tan head that recedes quickly. Aroma is hot alcohol, coffee, soy sauce, and chocolate. Taste is more of the same plus citrus hops and a remarkably strong bitterness. I love DIPA’s, but really hoppy stouts don’t do anything for me. The hop and malt flavors create a beer that truly is an onslaught on the senses - and I don’t mean that in a good way. It’s just too much. Not very enjoyable.

Apr 3, 2009 Very roasted......chocolate and coffee...in both aroma and flavor. Subtle under-currents of dark sugar, caramel, toffee, etc. Not as bold as Oak-aged, but still a complex beer.

Apr 2, 2009 Opaque black pour with a nice two finger creamy mocha colored head, good retention & lacing, great appearance. Aroma is of dark chocolate and coffee. Flavor is roasted malt, finishes with the dark chocolate and a bitterness from the hops. Nicely balanced. A little alcohol at the end. Low carbonation and heavy on the tongue. Good finish, good beer overall. Flavors really come out as the beer warms up.
