2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours very dark with no head. I wasn’t even sure there was any carbonation at first. Aroma is malty, a tad sweet, and slightly roasty. Very little carbonation; mouthfeel is a bit slippery and thin (probably due to the lack of carbonation). Tastes initially sweet then a bit malty with roasted notes. Finish isn’t terribly long with a bit of hops and has a bit of bite. Not my favorite.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is quite metallic, roasted malts, and some fruity notes. Flavour is slightly burnt malt, slightly stale malt too, some roast and bittersweet chocolate. Medium-bodied with a fruity, metallic finish. Not so well-made.

Bottle shared in Seattle. This is a mild stout - nothing offensive but nothing to set it apart either.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Black-brown with virtually no head. Aroma has some fresh baking honey, almond, flour aroma, with hints of roast. A little sweet in the nose, chocolate milky, nice. Pretty mild. Wow, the body is incredibly light for a 7% stout, (light bodied), flavor is vacant, but balanced and nice, like a mountainous field in the alps. Light honey-sweet maltiness, with a light touch of roasted grain, hint of light coffee. Light hop bitterness. I was expecting something a bit more bombastic.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
650ml bomber pours black in color with a 3 finger light tan head that retains well and leaves a few spots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is roated malts and chocolate with hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malt bitterness with some chocolate malt sweetness and mild fruits with a floral hop bitterness. Medium body and lively carbonation. Overall, this is a nice easy drinking stout that goes down smooth.

Bomber dated 11.22.11. Pours black with a disappointingly thin layer of fizzy tan bubbles. Faint notes of chocolate malt and burnt caramel in the aroma. The flavor is mostly roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate with some cola, citrus and coffee in there as well. The body is extremely dry and over-carbonated while the finish is burnt, chalky and bitter. Not sure if this is a bad batch or what but it definitely tastes off. Will have to try the tap version to compare.

I have had this beer on both CO2 and Nitro at the brewery on NE Fremont Street in Portland.The brewery was very specific that there were two different versions on tap. I liked in it on Nitro more than CO2. The Nitro made it super creamy and smooth while the other felt lighter and lost some of its creaminess. Lots of vanilla, chocolate and molasses in both. Good finish, definitely worth drinking.
