22oz Bottle marked 164 08 0840G .A Pitch black color body with a creamy two finger brown head that lasts a long time and leaves loads of sticky lacing. Aroma of roasted chocolate malt, with notes of charcoal, espresso, smoke,vanilla and molasses . Flavor is big and malty, roasted taste with espresso, cocoa, dark bitter chocolate, tar and loads of liquorice. Full body,light to medium carbonation with chewy mouthfeel. Fairly sweet. Lots of bitterness with cocoa and coffe, nicely balanced, Really powerful beer. Due to a lack of beer geeks in my area I had to drink the whole bomber myself. Excellent!

Mar 14, 2010 Lost my tasting notes for this one, but I recall not enjoying the overpowering licorice. Mouth feel and flavor fell short for me.

Mar 6, 2010 22oz bomber courtesy of mashmaster. Had this right after Sexual Chocolate. This one has more of the dusty chocolate characteristic and has a much bigger hint of grain to it.

Mar 6, 2010 Bomber poured into a snifter. Pours black with a light brown head. Aroma of coffee and bitter dark chocolate. Taste of chocolate, coffee, molasses, and black licorice, with a bit of bitter hops. Don’t taste any bourbon barrel aging, mainly coffee. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, mild carbonation. Good, but not sure I see why it’s so highly rated.

Mar 2, 2010 Big bottle, kindly shared by Kestral. Dense and foamy light brown head. Body is as black as it get with no clarity. Roasted malt aroma, bordering on burnt, with a sourish and ashy accent. Black chocolate and cold coffee as well, and tones of dried dark fruits. Taste is hard roasted, alcohol-soaked dark malts, bitter coffe, bitter chocolate, tar and wood. A noticable caramelly sweetness beneath. Thick, almost syrupy mouthfeel. Hot, malty-bitter and roasted ending. Very potent and tasty, not fully balanced according to my tastebuds.

Feb 22, 2010 2009 bottle thanks to DuffManSW. Black pour with a 1-finger, loose, tan head and nice lacing. The aroma is deep, bitter black coffee, licorice, strong dark chocolate and a hint of bourbon and alcohol. The flavor is intense bitter black coffee and pure dark chocolate followed by a touch of oak and vanilla and then a hot, alcoholic bourbon finish. The body is oily and full with moderate carbonation and a big alcohol bite on the end.

Feb 13, 2010 Black body with a nice tan head. Chocolate with sweet caramel aroma. It’s not horribly interesting. It’s just like any other imperial stout. Flavor is pretty solid though. Dark chocolate notes with a nice bitter coffee flavor to balance it out. Finishes with a nice and full body, and is overall a pretty good beer.
