Jun 18, 2007 Bomber. Pours dark brown with a medium head. Aroma of chocolate, dark malt and bourbon. Tastes like chocolate with a bit of lactic, bourbon and oak. I noticed vanilla as it warmed. Warm. Heavy bodied. Would make a great winter-warmer. Too bad it’s 90° today.

Very dark brown pour with a tiny little head atop it. Smell is light malt. Flavor is decent - malty and roasty. No big or bold carbonation - a hint thin. Overall, I am just not really getting this one. It isn’t bad by any means, but it just doesn’t really rock my world.

Mar 9, 2009 Location: 22 oz Bottle from Norm’s
Aroma: The nose makes you think of a bourbon stout, and thats kinda what it tastes like.
Appearance: Poor is almost black, thin head.
Flavor: Lots of flavors melded together: oak, bourbon, vanilla, chocolate, and malt.
Overall Impression:
I give them high marks for the creative and meshing of flavors, but I didn’t love it the way most others seem to have.

Jun 1, 2007 Rated 1/5/07: Well blended ale, this one is smooth and delicious. Pours dark like a stout with a creamy off white head, nice lacing and retention. Aroma is a light mix of coffee, mild chocolate, and some caramel. Rich and ever so smooth mouthfeel, this one has a soft finish that is remarkable. Flavor is exceptional nice mix here of lightly roasted malt with bitter coffee and milk chocolate. After a while I could taste a nice helping of vanilla along with some very mild hops. There is barely a hint of the high abv which helps to make this smooth and drinkable. What a nice treat indeed.

Jan 17, 2006 22 oz bottle (2005 I assume). No label, but silk screen like stone uses. Pours deep walnut color with a wispy head and light lacing. The aroma is interesting. Malt, chestnuts, maple and milk chocolate all came to mind at one point or another. A bit thick though, and a bit cloying. The flavor is enjoyable with sweet malt, molasses, and a lightly sharp hint that I could not place. There are light hops that give it a bit of balance but there is clearly more of a malty dominance. Slick and smooth body. I liked this more than the last malt forward beer I tried. More enjoyable flavors for me and noticeable hops, though this is a malty experience.

Dec 5, 2008 Pours a ruby black with no head. Aroma of wood, malts, and alochol. Malts, vanilla, and wood make up the flavor. A very nice beer!

Jun 9, 2009 Pours dark brown with tanish offwhite head. Aroma is boozy toffee and butterscotch. Aroma is sweet caramel, white chocolate, bit of plums, and a nice boozy warmth undertone. Overall, very enjoyable.
