Pours a murky brown color from the bomber with a fizzy tan head and a coating of sediment that makes the bottom of the glass look like the ocean floor. Smells of juicy red grapes, dark cocoa, and barley with flavors of toasted malts, dark fruits, caramel, and rum. Bold and interesting, yet just shy of effectively blending the two styles.

22 oz. bottle - Pours a brown color with a good size light tan head. Decent lacing. Aroma is light roasted malt. Flavor is roasted malt and esters. Light to medium body. A decent beer.

Very dark brown, near black pour with small tan head. Raisin, plum, chocolate nose. Flavor is of cocoa and a little bitter. Very sweet finish. Not bad. Not great.

Pours like night had fallen and the buffalo layed down for a nap. A decent head arises but falls like the buffalo to a thin sheet of silk. Aromas of roasted malty goodness. Full nectar with superb carbonation. A moderate roast intermingled with a mildly sweet malted molasses backdrop. This is in balance. Tastes more on the English side. The finish is long and roasty with a mild citrus hop cometh forth.

Dark brown, malty, sweet, caramel, dark fruits, little chocolate, little nuts, slight coffee.
