| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2009 Bomber. Pours black with a medium sized but frothy brown head with nice lacing left. Very faints hints of coffee in the nose, very mellow aroma. Bitter start, mocha with afaint hint of coffee, finishes with a bitter hop touch and a bit a lingering sourness. Pretty thick but goes down easy. Not bad, very drinkable, but nothing spectacular. keepersj12 (799), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA

Coffee, chocolate and very earthy. Taste is more of the same with a very nice hop bitterness. Very smooth finish. Another good one from the brothers. jason (1623), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2009 (bottle - 22 oz) Dark black pour with a two inch tan head. Aroma is full of bitter and roasted coffee with some light chocolate and bitter hops. Flavor is a nice bitter coffee bite at the beginning with a rather pronounced hop backbone. Following that is a nice dark malt middle with a rather balanced bitter and chocolate coffee finish. Rather nice. Leighton (274), New York, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Just sampled some of this tonight at Shorty’s in NYC. A really tasty brew. Highly robust, with a deep coffee flavor. Coffee reigns, in the nose, the taste and in the aftertaste. Each is somewhat unique, though, and the overall experience is quite complex. I also detected notes of caramel and chocolate, as is to be expected. A good bit malty. Very savory.
