Very dark, blackish brown color but with a red tint as so may of these have. The aroma smells delicious and I don’t even drink coffee. Its just a sweet, milky and sugary coffee smell. The flavor is like a very strong coffee but with some carbonatin. It bears little semblance to beer. Think carbonated frapp! Puck! Ino! Some lacing. Coffee aftertaste. Comes on strong.

Draft at redlight redlight. Pours very dark, almost opaque with a tan head. The nose isn’t bad with lots of notes of coffee, some milk sugars, and roasted malts. Something in the flavor is not quite balanced. The roasted malts come forward but don’t line up right with coffee, etc. Furthermore, it definitely stand to be a little thicker/creamier. Not my favorite from Lagunitas of whom I’m usually a big fan.

Deep brown/black pour, thick off-white head. Aroma is coffee and malt. Strong coffee at the front, nice creamy finish. Another not-amazing-but-damned-solid Lagunitas offering.

Bomber (2009) poured into a pint glass. The pour is dark brown with noticeable browns on seen on the edges when held to the light. The aroma is light chocolates and a dose of coffee, but not much. The flavor is big sweet stout with plenty of dark chocolate and a noticeable dose of coffee/cappuccino, but it could be more prominent. The bitterness and acidity of the coffee seems to be more present than that fresh coffee flavor I’ve come to know and love in some stouts. With some warmth a whole bunch of awesome vanilla and coconut comes out in this baby - but it takes some time. All in all, not bad, though!

Bottle. Poured black with a medium brown head. Aroma had notes of both chocolate and coffee, as well as a milky note. Flavor has a weak coffee flavor as well as some chocolate.
