Jun 18, 2008 Bomber pours thick and black into a snifter like motor oil. Opaque as beer can get. Had to pour aggressively to get a small head - dark tan in colour. Wow, what a stout. Aroma of all the best stouts - chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, molasses, hops as always from southern tier, but not so much alcohol. Considering it’s 11%abv, I don’t hint the insinuation of such in the aroma. The same applies to the taste. All roasted chocolate on the tongue - absolutely delicious. Leaves a creamy, oily layer of smoothness on the palate with a taste that lingers until the next sip. Again, wow, what a stout.

Jun 18, 2008 22 ounce bottle. Pours black with a dark brown head. The aroma is malt with a strong alcohol finish, The taste is malt, chocolate and coffee. There is also some molasses and the oat taste is definitely there. There is surprisingly little alcohol taste for how much there was in the smell. Very good beer would buy again

Pours a deep black with a nice looking caramel brown head. Aroma of molasses, chocolate malts, vanilla and coffee. Flavor is chocolate malts, coffee, dark fruits. Nice thick oily mouthfeel on this one. Has a sweet yet bitter chocolate finish. Good stuff!

Jun 15, 2008 Pours opaque black with a small but well retained beige head. The aroma is roastes malts, dry oats, and a little chocolate liquor. The flavor starts with some sweet milk chocolate notes followed quickly with a dry, plain oatmeal taste that ends with a little brown sugar, mild vanilla extract, and semi-sweet coffee. A little alcohol present but not overly boozy. Quite enjoyable.

Jun 9, 2008 Black with dark espresso head that thins to nothing. Deep alco, choco espresso aroma. Wonderful thick taste of bittersweet mocha espresso khalua milkshake. Sweetness makes it closer to a liquor than a stout. So tasty you forget the alcohol until you finish your sip and it warms you up. Leaves a sweet aftertaste that longs for next taste.

Jun 9, 2008 From Puddintane via trade. Thank you! The pour was a nearly viscous, ultra dark glob. A nicely formed tan and brown head popped up and then retreated into a galaxy swirl. Tiny spots of lacing. The aroma was chocolate, cherry, roasted malt and some grassy, sweetness that I also smelled in their Hoppe. I found it distracting in that beer and in this one as well. The flavor was chocolate, roasted malt, bitter coffee, dark fruit and grass. The mouthfeel was full and the finish was problem free.
