Jan 16, 2009 Pours an opaque black with some red on the edges. Had a large frothy tan/mocha coloured head. Aromas of dark and bitter-sweet chocolate, spice and a little sweetness in there as well. Tastes malty, pretty bitter, a little too bitter for me. Tastes like itter-sweet chocolate, burnt coffee, roasted malt, and coco powder. Trust me, if you want chocolate beer, try Young’s double chocolate.

Jan 15, 2009 22oz bottle. Dark black pour with a nice tan head. Very nice chocolate aroma, slight burnt smell in there as well. Creamy, chocolaty mouthfeel, slight bitterness, but very drinkable. Always a favorite.

Jan 15, 2009 Poured from the bomber bottle into a standard glass to drink. The beer poured out a dark, black color with a big foamy-creamy, dark tan head with long-lasting retention and moderate cling. It had a big chocolate and coffee aroma with a fainter earthy hops tone underneath. The body was creamy and wet with lower amounts of fizz and carbonation. A very full, rich mouthfeel with some dryness at the end. A very good beer, I had not expected such quality when I bought it.

Jan 10, 2009 Bomber. Pours black with a thick well maintained brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, but there is a sweetness that is very noticeable. Flavor of course is dominated by chocolate and coffee, but not in a obnoxinous way. Some roastiness and hints of oast, I was expecting some more based on the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium, with a slight bitter finish. Great stout.

Jan 7, 2009 Pours thick, dark scarlet-brown, almost completely black and opaque, only a little bit of red around the very bottom edge of the glass, with a thick, one-finger tan head, good lacing. Smells of coco and espresso. Medium-thick body, with a crisp edge. Bitter dark-chocolate flavor, with a tiny bit of coffee, apple, oat, and pine. Lingering, but mild bitter aftertaste. Well balanced.

Jan 6, 2009 Mmm...tasty. A great after dinner dessert beer. Everything is dark, from the look, smell, and of course the dark chocolate taste. It isn’t too sweet, which is nice. But it isn’t so dry either, that you choke on it. Very rich, slightly smoky. Will buy again.

Jan 6, 2009 Black pour with a thin tan head. Tons of baking chocolate in the aroma. Thin on the roasted malt. Tastes are better, lots of bitter chocolate, bitter roasted malt, and a nice finish. Only seems a bit too thin for a stout with this much flavor.

Jan 4, 2009 Very crisp for a stout, the chocolate smell is much stronger than the taste, so you don’t need to worry about a beer molestation. It is fantastic though, smoothly tickling your tongue with roasted dark chocolate flavors. Leaves a slight Java feel in the mouth afterward. Very Nice.
