| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 6, 2009 Bomber from Ron’s. Pours onyx with 3-finger fluffy brown head...very brown head. Nose is dark malt, cacao, dark choc, rauchy peaty licorice. Tastes rich, complex, with heavy dark malt, solid peaty, cacao, and smoked earthy peaty malty notes throughout. The rauchiness here is subtle, not like Aecht, but more than most. Another great example of a favorite style of mine, whether you call this a rauch or an impy porter. andersand (392), Malmö, Sweden
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 6, 2009 Nice bambergy smokeyness with a great load of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, liqourice, truffels and sweet fruity malty goodness underneath. We are talking both in the nose and in the flavour. The body is rather slick, medium to full with low carbonation. The beer finishes with a nice caramell and hop touch alongside lingering smoke. Truly a good beer with a very complete flavour profile. noompa (130), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 2, 2009 On tap at Jerry’s. Jet black color, foamy latte head. Aroma true to style w/ restrained coffee, bitter chocolate, smoke, chicory, citrus and raisins as it warms up. Flavors of smoke, chicory, bittersweet chocolate and on the downside, strong soapy undertones. Very balanced, starts off sweet and malty and delivers a quick hops bite at the end w/ a smirk. Hides abv well. Medium body, finishing long and dry. Very nice, but for the soap.
