Thanks to Kevlar for this one! 22oz brown glass crown cap. No dating, but a lot of sediment at the bottom. Appearance: Poured into a British Imperial Pint glass. Thick, tan sudsy head three fingers high settles down after a minute to half-inch. Black and opaque, a very tiny little brownish red shows at the edge when held up to a light bulb. Nose: Dried grains, dried figs and apricots, medium roast ground coffee, baker’s chocolate, dry newspaper (not faulted). Palate: Medium bodied. Elegant on the palate. Light notes of cold-processed chocolate, light roast black coffee, oats, and a splash of cream (without the creamy texture, though). Notes: A really drinkable and balanced stout. I was surprised at how light it was on the palate given the color and the nose, but that only makes it more drinkable. Alcohol is in balance, too. I can understand why this beer is often asked for here in Vermont. Tasty.

Very well done. Brown pour with a tan head. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma. Nice balance between the chocolate and the coffee in the taste. Thinner body and a dry finish.

bomber thanks to mcox90. I had been wanting one of these for awhile. Pours dark brown with a nice tan head. Nose is of chocolate and became smoky as it warmed up. Taste was of chocolate and roast malt. Mouthfeel was medium and dry with a slight bitterness. Very nice.

Bomber shared by theisti at a Chiefs tailgate. Pours a deep opaque brown with a creamy light tan head. Milk chocolate, roasted malt and a lactose note are on the nose. It does not smell like a dry stout. Light to medium-bodied and creamy with soft carbonation. The flavor is of chocolaty, dry, roasted malt. Pretty nice. Thanks for sharing this with us, Tim.

Medium brown/ruby red pour with tan head and lace. Medium roasted malt that hints of chocolate. Light to medium hop bitter. Large coffee and roasted malt. Medium bodied a tad thin. Very nice beer.

This poured dark brown/black in color with a moderate light brown head. This had quite nice aromas of chocolate, rich coffee, sweet caramel and vanilla. In the mouth this was medium-bodied and started off powerful then faded to a dry/bitter finish. The midpalate lacked concentration and flavor though this should have been expected given the alcohol level.
