after4ever (2006), Brier, Washington, USA Nov 26, 2006 Bomber; courtesy the totally shocking generosity of GLKaiser. Humongous sweet and boozy nose. Smells like a screwdriver mixed with chocolate pancake syrup instead of orange juice. Breakfast of champions. Thick molasses, chocolate, and caramel flavors--chewy and sticky. Gentle cherry notes at the finish.
luttonm (164), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 7, 2009 Thanks to trevor211 as the highlight of an incredible beer night. Incredible pour, head rises unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, oddly like the label says. Burnt edges of a brown-bottle head looks like used, fermented motor oil. Thick like a milkshake; Intensely rich; Frothy and needs a spoon. Unreal, scary. Dark chocolate, aged balsamic. tasty, oily, richest beer I’ve ever had ... notes explosive but with more flavor than WWS and Angel’s. Head steams and stays like a picture of Jupiter’s atmosphere. Heavy like malt extract.. incredible viscosity, reminds of Bailey’s irish cream, but tastier! this will end you, we even tried dunking bread in it and it was great. Biggest complaint is that the ’Russian’ on the bottle doesn’t mean anything! vtafro (6), , New Jersey, USA does not count Jan 6, 2009 Pours almost like car oil, 2008 bottle, could have used more aging however had a multitude of different flavors not sure i could have had more than one of these in a sitting. plaidtopia (8), , Washington, USA does not count Jan 5, 2009 INCREDIBLY thick and dense. Almost entirely malt. Super smooth, super swampy but very, very sweet and smoked. Like tasting straight, charred, burnt molasses. Unlike any beer I’ve ever tasted. Vanilla-y, super dark, with equally dark head, which rises from the bottom, no matter how it’s poured. Undoubtedly overpowering to most beer novices. A single glass will last you an entire evening. trevor211 (205), Seattle, Washington, USA Jan 5, 2009 Pours pitch black. Dark, burnt mocha head - possibly the darkest head I’ve ever seen. So incredibly thick - a pour from eight inches doesn’t make a sound. Aroma is a punch in the face - chocolate, smokey meats, coffee, molasses, maple syrup. You won’t believe it when it hits your tongue. This is by FAR the thickest, most mouth-and-throat-coating beer I’ve ever had the pleasure to try. Un... real. Dessert in a glass. Just incredible. All the notes from the aroma come through in the flavor, with a hint of bitter hops. A great friend of mine took a sip, adopted a horrified look and proceeded to take a few timid steps back from the glass (and proceeded to rate it a 4.8). This is as close to scary as a beer could be, and I swear it feels sinful drinking it. What an appropriate name. I had no idea a beer could be anything like this - puts other beers claiming to be thick to shame. Seriously. No words. I couldn’t take more than a glass... but for that glass? Unbelievable. This beer inspires masochism. And possibly diabetes. pjweaver (125), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Jan 4, 2009 Blind Tasting (unknown year, pretty sure it was 07)
Heavy aroma, hints of coffee, chocolate, little molasses and redfruit. Chocolate with huge boozy flavor, thick and bread powdery. Sweet with a sweet clingy aftertaste. Solid beer, with oily consistency, consistency of thick hot chocolate.
