Oct 28, 2008 Aroma is big roasted malt and oat. Appearance is a deep thick black. Flavor is a complex carmel, vanilla, chocolate, oat, coffee, a slight hop bitter and some alcohol heat. Palate is full and round, thick and silky. Yummy and warm.

Oct 27, 2008 not a fan of acrid though this one does settle down slowly but nicely. good strong alcohol somewhat hidden and classicly warming. velvet to a degree and smooth with black cherrywine like tastes and good appropriate stout flavors roasty and spicy with licorice and hints of cocoa and coffee. dark head is creamy and flavorful. good and hearty for this time of year.

Oct 25, 2008 Updated: Jun 6, 2009bomber from G&G poured into a snifter and enjoyed along side one of mother surkin’s oatmeal chocolate chip pecan cookies. pours a very dark black with hints of brown with a nice milk chocolate colored head and nice lacing. aroma is something special with scents of rolled oats, dark chocolate, and expresso with some bitter hops fighting their way in. honestly smelled like a bowl of chocolate chip oatmeal. flavor is wonderfully complex with a large chocholate/roasted malt presence up front followed by hints of coffee, vanilla, and oatmeal coming through on the back end. very slight alcohol warmth and a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel. overall, a great imperial stout.

Oct 25, 2008 Very aromatic with roasted malts..pours a deep brown to almost black with a thin head that lasts pretty well. Very smooth mouthfeel, with the flavors of coffee, heavy chocolate and a hint of vanilla. not a real hoppy flavor but enough to taste them. Definite alcohol burn in the aftertaste. this beer makes me smile.

Oct 23, 2008 Bottle...Deepest possible brown, lets say black...head is a dark brown sugar color...and it shrinks, but lasts to a skimming....rich malt aroma, like a roasted cereal doused slowly in chocolate, but only for a second....just rich malty superb....an inkling of metal includes itself here......Thick creamy luscious body...a determined oatmeal pushes its way into the crying child’s mouth...’I don’t like oatmeal mommy!!!’....she insists on the child, and the child complies once becoming keen to the chocolate undertones, as well as the sprinkle of sugar....the creaminess makes it a pleasure....the bitter finish causes the child to make a face, but only for a moment....the new presentation of oatmeal makes her a lover for life...delicious....’’’’can i have some more mommy??’

Oct 22, 2008 Pours pitch black with a thing tan head. Nose is predominantly roasted malt with a int of coffee and chocolate. Also same interesting dark fruit background? Almost feel like I get a slight whiff of cherries.
Flavor is intense on first sip. Coffee, bittersweet chocolate and roasted malt are what really hit you. Maybe a bit of oat slickness, but not much. Alcohol seems pretty forward on the first sip, but mellows considerably as the beer warms. A touch on the burnt bitter side, but overall pretty smooth and drinkable. Nice stout..
