3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Deep brown, cola hues, thin to moderate foamy beige head, spotty lacing. Dark chocolate, roasted malt, a touch of soy, and carob on the nose. Sweet on the tongue, malty, a little roasty, over ripened
fruit like sweetness towards the back. Some minor coffee and carob notes. Body and mouthfeel are moderate, albeit it does seem to stick to the tongue fairly well. Has a fine lactic sourness on the back that I could do
without. I do see that time to time for this style, so its not that uncommon. Minor appleskin on the finish, amongst the roast, carob, coffee, and minor lactic sourness. Fairly decent overall. Wished it were a bit
sweeter tho.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours dark brown/black with ruddy glints and a slight tan head. Aromas of dark fruit, burnt malt, and maybe coffee. Full bodied or close enough. It’s slightly salty, has pretty dark fruit, burnt malt, and perhaps a hint of coffee. It’s not on the dry side in the finish, but it’s not all that sticky sweet either. There’s a nice almost bitter tang in the finish. Arguably well within style.
