On tap at the Brew Kettle. Poured pitch black with a thick light brown head. Roasty aromas, nothing really stood out, some coffee and molassess but intially I am not impressed w/ the aroma. Flavor is better, complex with some piney hops, bitter roasted coffee, a hint of licorice and dark fruits. Quite nice. Excellent mouthfeel, velvety smooth with a thick coating texture. Overall a very nice imperial stout

Oct 5, 2008 Bomber poured into a glass, big dark tan head. Aroma was sweet, maybe bittersweet chocolate, maybe molasses.
This brew goes down very smooth, and as the brewery says, can sneak up on you!. Overerall a great beer!

Oct 1, 2008 Bottle pours a pure black color with a thick tan head. Aroma is bittersweet dark chocolate. Wondeful medley of flavors that include tobacco, roasted caramel malts, licorice, and dark roasted coffee. Nice amount of hop bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite nice!

Oct 1, 2008 Bomber at Jerry’s. Black with decent, creamy brown head / Lighter, roast nose / Medium to full body, some chewiness, acidic to point of bitterness, with balance of malt and hops, and decent, bitter finish / Simpler flavors of dark roast coffee with notes of molasses and brown sugar / Surprisingly mediocre from BR.

Sep 22, 2008 Big and dark and black. Thin tan head on top, subtle hoppy overtones in the nose and crisp bite on the palate. Thick mouthfeel, almost chewy. Malt, malt, malty, malt. Smooth and sweet and very rich. This one is pretty fantastic!
