Mar 14, 2009 Updated: Mar 17, 2009Bomber from Tweety; almost a year old. Perhaps my palate is wrecked by the Bourbon County Stout I just had, but I’m not feeling this. Pours surprisingly thin dark brown with minimal head. Very sweet, with more chocolate notes than coffee. Slight roast on nose but weird tanginess as well. Some oxidation going on. Unexpected odd fruitiness. Thin aromas, but somehow quite boozy on the palate. Okay, but very different from what I expected. Drink your coffee stouts fresh, people.

Feb 26, 2009 huge chocolate nose, sweet and reminiscent of fresh baked brownies. flavor is of chocolate covered espresso beans, you can almost feel the crunch like one of willy wonkas wild inventions. beneath it all a huge hop profile, yet sweetness lingers, a very wet finish. another humungous BIG beer from southern tier

Feb 26, 2009 Bomber cellared for four months. Loarge roast-coffee aroma rather full-bodied without thin edges. Dark caramel in this not-quite black beer. Dark ,dark-red around the edges. Strongly rich mocha-coffee roast with charcoal and primeval forest. Broiled squash with butter comes to mind - roasted in a camp fire. This beer is very sophisticated in its delivery of hops with a wide range of mid flavor and strong bittering. More flavors come through as you drink this malt party. Oak and cedar... Short finish for such a great beer.

Feb 20, 2009 22-ouncer. Black with a light beige head. Coffee and sweet roasted malt aroma. The coffee seems to have a slight stale, oxidized quality, but it’s still ok. Sweet chocolate malt, with a sharp coffee kick. Some burnt bitterness that tastes like over-roasted coffee, with a light vegetal note. Full bodied, but quite low in viscosity for a 12% stout. The alcohol taste is quite well hidden as well, in a dangerous way. This is still tasty, but probably not a stout that I would put in the top ranks.

Feb 17, 2009 Deep mahogany in color with a small off-white head. Aroma is of espresso and dark chocolate. Taste is roasty with a bitter coffee and hop bite.

Feb 11, 2009 Updated: Apr 29, 2009I consider this a true find. An excellent coffee stout with loads of coffee and chocolatey goodness. Sip this with a bowl of premium vanilla ice cream and enjoy. Also, hard to believe it comes in at a whopping 12% ABV

Feb 7, 2009 Poured real slick and oily with a black body and brown creamy head. The aromas hit you the second you tip the bottle. Obviously lots of coffee with a roasted malt base and a wee bit of chocolate. Coffee is again the overwhelming flavor in the mouth, but a little chocolate sneaks in, as well as a little hoppy bitterness. This brew started off really creamy, but surprisingly as it warmed it became really dry and bitter.
