Oct 16, 2009 Bomber. Deep brown, clear body with ruby notes. Fizzy, tan head, mostly diminshing. Balanced aroma of roasted malts and citrusy hops. Notes of dark malts, sweet chocolate, pine, grapefruit, pineapple, licorice, molasses. The flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately to heavily bitter and lightly to moderately acidic. The taste starts with roasted malts but those are overrun by sweet mango and pineapple and that’s overpowered by grapefruit. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Great balance between sweet and bitter. Like a double IPA with roasted malts. Excellent.

Oct 16, 2009 very very intrigued. love southern tiers imperial oatmeal south so im very interested in how this one came out. pours rootbeer with just a tiny tiny head that sticks to the sides of the rim, nose is light compared to my last beer. light chocolate, spices, quite earthy. taste is very refreshing, up front it starts out like a lager, light taste but then it moves to the back of the tongue and it gathers some syrupy flavours. maple syrup, a bit sweet but well balanced. dry dry finish. i like this one, not as much as i thought i would, but it is very, very good.

Oct 14, 2009 Aroma of roastiness, sweetness and spice. Great Black IPA! Not overly roasty, not burnt, but just right. Notes of toffee, caramel, tobacco, and coffee. Finishes very clean.

Oct 14, 2009 Its clear dark brown with a medium baige head. Aroma holds lots of piney hop notes along with some roasted malt. Flavor has both hop and roasted bitterness, with the hop bitterness dominating, not alot of sweetness with makes the body quite light. Nice ipa with a twist that mainly is the look.

Oct 13, 2009 Bottle - Num num num. Pours deep and black with a bubbly head. Smells chocolatey and sour, along with some notes of Werther’s candy. Taste is smooth and chocolatey with toffee and a nice finish that blends hops, a bit of coffee, and just a hint of head. The 9% is hidden pretty well though, and warms rather than bites. It’s smooth and pretty full bodied. Right up there with my favorite ST brews.

Oct 12, 2009 Courtesy of bhensonb. This black beer poured with a rich tan head and a fruity chocolate aroma. The flavor is very chocolate with a little plum and a hoppy bitter finish. Delicious.
