Bomber, bottled on 1/19/09. Poured very deep, rich brown with a short, but well-retained cap of not-quite-as-dark brown head. The aroma picked up sweeter chocolates and building, moderate-roast coffee accented by a little coffee hull and oak tartness and some vanilla.. tangy and warm, especially on the back.. well-balanced. The flavor had semi-sweet roasted coffee at the core with sour overtones (some woody notes like the nose, but a little vinegary character too).. chocolate, more coffee, and vanilla rolled off the back onto a long finish.. warm, but not hot. Medium-bodied with quite a bit of carbonation on the palate.. the malty base felt good, but the sourness (although not that strong) was misplaced. Very solid overall.
