Bomber. Pours black with brown tinges, and huge, foamy dark-brown head. Aroma is sweet malt, with some chocolate and roast. Flavor is heavily roasted malt, chocolate with a little sweetness, and bit of acidity from the roasted/burnt malt. Velvety mouthfeel. Pretty solid.

On tap a few weeks back; I believe at Blue Palms. Poured a very dark brown color. Aroma of cocoa, dust, chalk and roasted malt. Flavor was sweet, with some milky notes, caramel, cocoa, and roasted malt. Chalky, sweet and smooth. A pretty solid beer.

The look is black in color, dark, and has a tan colored head. The smell is chocolate, coffee, nuts, malts, and roasty. The taste is roast, malts, coffee, and chocolate.

Pours very dark with a thin tan head. Nose was subdued with a little roasted malt evident. Taste was more complex than expected. Nice roasted coffee notes with dark chocolate undertones as well as a dry slightly sweet finish. Very good.

From Firefly. Poured seriously dark, almost black, beneath a creamy tan head of no great thickness; this did not stay very long. Not a lot for the nose here, maybe some roasted malt. Taste was delicious, with coffee, the malt, and perhaps dark chocolate at play. Nice dry finish.

bottle thanks to bleeng. poured black with a beige head. aroma of grains, dark roast, and chocolate with the flavor being much the same. light body with high carbonation.

Poured clear dark brown with an almost two-finger tall tan head. The aroma was roasted malts, chalky and a touch of coffee. The flavor was smoky, roasted malts, light coffee and a touch of chocolaty sweetness. The mouthfeel was thin and the finish fairly succinct. Drinkable, just not all that exciting.
