Jun 29, 2009 On tap at Coles, Buffalo NY. Pours a very deep dark black with nice fluffy tan head. Deep roasty aromas, licorice, chocolate. Big roasty malts, alcohol on the tip of your tongue, slight orange chocolate, slight alcohol burn on finish. Big mouthfeel. Great stout

Jun 28, 2009 pours like swamp water on a moonless night, at the first raise of the glass hops tingle the nose......sweet dark chocolate and coffee pour through the thin beige head....childhood memories of licorice....a very well balanced stout, this could become a habit

Jun 27, 2009 Man do I ever love me some Smuttynose. Just like everything else they do this is a really well-executed Impy Stout, with a lot more hoppiness than you usually get out of the style.

Jun 23, 2009 excellent. dark black with thick-as-fuck creamy head. nose of dark chocolate, heavy roast and sweat carmel. mouthfeel like heavy silky velvet. taste is serious roast and sweetly dark chocolate. slightly sweet with meal fullness. this is an outstanding imperial stout that may find me driving to wisonsin for. damn you minnesota distributors.

Jun 23, 2009 Very nice brew. Aroma of darker chocolates and roasted malts. Some dark chocolate mixed in with possibly dark fruits and coffee in the flavor.

Jun 21, 2009 2006 vintage bomber. Courtesy of Hogtown Harry (I think?). Anyhoo- time to drink this puppy. Pours ebony black- no sunshine through this one. Minimal beige head, intermittent lacing. Nose- strong anise, some powdered chocolate and dark roast. Taste- hoppier then expected given the age- licorice again, dark chocolate and dark fruits. Oxidation is starting to show, but still a mighty fine beverage. Finish still packs a hop wallop and is very dry. Drinkability is almost too good with some age on it. Nice stuff- would like to try fresh.

Jun 21, 2009 Bomber received in a trade from Drink4Satan, thanks! Pours very thick. A lot hoppier than I expected in both the nose and the taste. The hops have the edge over the malts in the taste profile, and I like that. Very unusual for a stout. Finish is very long - aftertaste lingers for quite some time. Unusual Imperial Stout, but good to see someone breaking the mold.

Jun 15, 2009 Bomber from Josh. Not a member, I think. But I’m working on that. BC in 2009. It is at least 3 months old. Pours very black with a huge foamy tan head. Very strong aromas of toasted malt, anise, chocolate, coffee? Full bodied with smooth carbonation. There’s a strong brown candy/treacle component. Plus dark malt, lots of chocolate, possibly coffee. There’s some nice hop bitter, arguably citrus. This is very flavorful. Arguably well balanced. Yummy.
