Yes this was a bomber and I will be sad to see them go Poured into a sniffer tan two finger head that turns to a great lacing in top of a rich black body Aromas of roasted malts, chocolate, espresso and light amount of alcohol enter my nose The flavors on this brew are wicked good yes I’m from Maine. Chocolate coffee and booze what more can a Yankee ask for Smooth comes to mind when thinking about the mouthfeel, rich and thick as well. You can easily finish a bomber by yourself, especially on a cold New England night but it is much more fun to share. Buy the bombers while you can. Now for the 12 oz well “If it ant broke don’t fix it “is all I can say and they tried to fix it. (Different yeast not bottled conditioned as well as different water) It goes against everything that is down east in me to see what they have done to this brew. Ok enough ranting maybe the flatlander that bought this company will get the hint when the sales go south although that is where he is from

12 oz. bottle courtesy cdumler. Thanks Chris! Cola brown with a medium head. Decent lacing but not so good retention. Sweet malty aroma with notes of smoke, grain and coffee. Taste of slightly bitter grain and coffee. Medium to full bodied.

Pours out black and leaves an excellent tan head and lacing behind. Smell was nice and roasty, plenty of cocoa as well. As I dug deeper I found remnants of earth, and a bit of some sort of a berry. Taste was earthy, sweet and definately roasty, but just didn’t seem all that awesome to me (older bottle?). Medium bodied, medium carbonation, dry roasty finish. Drinkability is fine, but didn’t keep bringing me back for more. I probably wouldn’t go out of my way for this one again.

This beer poured a blackish tan into a pint glass with zero light shining through. A vigorous pour resulted in several inches of thick, tan foam which slowly gave way to a ring of foam around the top of the beer. Not much lacing. Aromas are not that strong, but I do have a bit of a cold and am not picking up subtle aromas that I might otherwise smell. Even so, I pick up some chocolate and roasted malts. Taste is excellent. Roasted malts, hints of bittersweet chocolate and a slight bit of fruitiness rounds out the flavor. It is very well balanced. Mouthfeel is exceptional. Rich and thick but not syrupy or viscous. Slight carbonation cleanses the palate and leaves you wanting more.
