Jul 4, 2008 Bomber. Poured a lovely shade of deep brown with a creamy initial cap of rich tan head. The aroma picked up sweeter, milky chocolates, coffee, and an odd dark fruity sourness.. t’was OK overall. The flavor thankfully didn’t take off with sourness, but it was prevalent throughout.. milk and darker chocolates gave a cake-like impression with light caramel and coffee accents.. the edges found toasted barley and more sweet chocolates.. finished sweet. Medium-bodied and slow across the palate with the unfortunate sourness in there.. grainy on the back with roast scorching the very end. This was OK, but I’d like to try a fresher bottle or find it on tap.

Feb 16, 2008 Deep fully opaque brown coloured body, loooking like mud with a thin brown head. Aroma of fudge, chocolate and more chocolate with some malt, and a bit of coffee. Medium-bodied; Strong flavour of roasted malt with a large cacao presence and a bit of a coffee twang near the end. Aftertaste shows the bitter chocolate, coffee and of course, roasted malt. Overall, not a bad beer - a bit heavy on the sweetness, but not a bad beer at all - good to try, especially around Christmas! I sampled this 65 cL bottle, purchased from Norm’s in Vienna, Virginia all the way out in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on 13-December-2005.

Feb 16, 2008 Thought this was a nice offering from Legend. Paired it with some gourmet fudge and have to say i enjoyed it. The guy who compared it to a bowl of cocoa pebbles is right on. Rich chocolate aroma and flavor with a bit of lactose sourness.

Feb 9, 2008 Appearance: Pours a dark brown, near black body with a small, fine tan head.
Smell: Butter-cocoa aroma. Ugh, not another Legend Butter Bomb.
Taste: The extreme butter taste reigns over the chocolate. There’s some sweetness, even some roast hiding in there, but the HIGH amount of diacetyl spoils it. Bleh.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slick mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Legend, oh Legend, won’t you ever escape the diacetyl problem?
