Keg pour during Annapolis 5K beer run. Pours deep, dark brown with thin, creamy tan head. Aroma is roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, earthy hops, plums, raisins, and light toffee. Flavor is great with roast and chocolate notes dominating supported by some earthy hops, dark fruit esters, light coffee, light caramel, and faint booze; dry finish. Medium/full body and low carbonation.

Draft. Poured black with a smallish tan head. Aroma and flavor were lots of roasted malt, coffee and chocolate. Nicely balanced between sweet and bitter. Pretty straight forward. Not much fruit or other elements yoou often get in impies. Nice smooth mouthfeel. Not overly boozy.

It had some bitter almost sour aromas coming out of it but coffee and chocolate were also present. It poured a thick dark black with no head. The taste was very bitter and dry. The alcohol is well hidden though. For the most part I didn’t enjoy it, too bitter for a stout in my opinion.

Had high hopes. Poured beautifully. Mouth feel on point.
Unfortunately there is this almost medicinal taste. Major disappointment.

Bomber pours deep amber almost black, small tan head. Nose of roast. Taste begins with roast, toffee, and caramel. Bitterness balances with citrus on the finish. Body is sludge, but feels thin at times.

Sampled at a recent Wirtz Beverage/Illinois seminar, and presented on tap to stemware showing a thick, black/brown hue, with creamy, brownish tan head foam, and wavy cling to the lacing. The aroma and flavor were balanced notes of roasted coffee, cocoa, and alcohol, with additional hints of caramel and wood/smoke. Full bodied, with a smooth silkiness to the mouthfeel. Very nice!

Poured from bottle into short wine glass. Pours a very very dark brown with a small brown head that initially fades to nothing. Aroma is very dark roasty with hints of chocolate. Taste is roasty with some alcohol warmth and chocolate notes. Average carbonation that leaves the palate cleanly.
