thedm (3407), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Dec 29, 2003 This bottled brew brought to the Three Floyds Birthday Gathering 12/27/2003 by the TannerTavernBoys poured a small head of light brown colored fully diminished fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind an opaque black as midnight in a cave on a moonless night body and a poor lace. The aroma was strong with notes of bourbon malt and thick motor oil! It had a smooth mouthfeel with a mild hop bite and was thick and chewey. Its flavor was malty and contained a few notes of mollasses.

Pours a nice black color, little carbonation, small tan head, with some nice little islands. The nose is malty, bourbon, chocolate. The taste is sweet, malty, nice bourbon notes, with some nice oaky tones. Medium body. Drinkable, this is a very tasty brew for a 2003. Thanks Eric.
douglas88 (1012), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Oct 25, 2008 2003 Bomber shared by Eric, thanks man for this absolute gem. Pours a pure black color with a medium size light brown head. The aroma was amazing; bourbon, some vanilla, slightly sour wood and some roasted malts. A very nice aroma, very enticing. The taste was excellent also; very light and slightly sour wood flavors, a perfect balance of bourbon and more traditional porter flavors. After five years the body has become a bit less creamy and full, but still very nice. An awesome beer. Thanks Eric. cbkschubert (1721), Rattlesnake Country, Arizona, USA Oct 1, 2008 <b>22 oz. bottle</b> via trade with <i>PhillyBeer2112</i> quite some time ago. I shared this with <i>highibus</i> a couple months ago and I’m finally getting around to entering it. Pours a dark brown color with a small light tan head. No lacing. Aroma is light roasted malt and bourbon. Flavor is roasted malt, chocolate, and bourbon. Light to medium body. I thought it held up quite well for its age. A good beer.
