22 oz bomber. Pours deep brown/black with a good sized dark tannish head that disappears quickly. Very rich aroma with strong smells of coffee, hops and cherry. Tastes just like it smells with a chocolate finish. A great stout worthy of high praise. I love it!

Bomber via mnurda, but sampled with oakbluff. Black in colour with medium carbonation. Big American C-hop aromas upfront with notes of citrus, black pepper, and herbs, followed up by some dark roasted malt notes. Some caramel sweetness upfront along with some strong chocolate and coffee character. The hops re-assert themselves near the end and integrate surprisingly well with the dry roasted finish. I’m shocked at how well the high hop rate seems to work within the context of a session stout. Fantastic stuff.

bomber...pours jet black w/ a slight oily consistency, aroma is unlike any stout I’ve ever smelled before...strong American hops, taste is sweet up front and fades into hoppy-roasted flavor. Good, certainly unique and will buy again, one would think it would have a higher abv by the taste

Super dark pour. Creamy brown head. Aroma is of HOPS! Woo! Nice chocolate, coffee and malt in there too. First sip is big hops and chocolate. Very different for a stout. Very warm and welcoming. The bitter coffee finish is a lovely balance. Nice distinct differences from beginning to end. This is what I want out of a stout. Again, I can’t get over that awesome hop aroma and smooth chocolatey mouthfeel. Incredible stout.

On tap at 3F brewpub. Not overly complex, but definitely a good dry stout. I don’t usually like stouts, but could drink a few of these with no problems.

Black Color with Dark Tan Ring. Chocolate, English Hopped Aroma. Big Initial Hop Hit on the Tongue...Chocolate, Light Malty Background...Dry Hopped Aftertaste. Some Subtle Light Roasts...Not Very Balanced...Hops Definitly Win Out on Dominance...Big Tasting Beer for the Alcohol.

22 oz bottle. Pours very dark brown with thick tan head. Smells surprisingly hoppy for a stout. Chocolate and coffee, too. Great flavor... the hops are what make this unique.
