3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
A bit disappointed in this one. On tap at Sailfish Brewery in Fort Pierce. Dark cola looking beer with a thin, off-white head. Aromas of faint roasted grains and not much else. Tastes of watery dark coffee, some bittersweet chocolate, and roasted grains. Chalky, dry finish. Very average.

Bottle shared with charule at houghs. Roasted malt aroma. Extremely watered down taste and mouth feel. Slightly smokey.

Bomber at Houghs. Poured black with tan head. Light malty aromas diificult to pickup. Watered down stout flavor slightly bitter. Wont get again.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught at Rattle & Hum NYC sept 2012. Black beer with a small tanned head. Oat and coffee aroma. Oat, coffee and malty flavour. Rather thin one...
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bomber. Near black pour with a frothy, light brown head. Roasty aroma, with a hint of resiny hops. A somewhat weak roast flavor. The oatmeal bitterness is definitely there in the finish. Watery texture with soft carbonation. Lacking in body and pretty bland.
2.1 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pour from a 22oz bottle. Dark brew with generous head. Faint aroma of roasted grain. Surprisingly thin body. Weak taste. Burnt grains at the start transitioning to to sweet malts and then a sour, lactic and vegetal finish. Metallic notes at the very end. Distinctly not pleasant. Maybe this had gone bad? I dunno, not so good.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Deep black color that isn’t hazy. Coffee and oat aroma with a cupcake hints. The palate has a slight smokyness to it. It is full bodied yet flat. Not at all sweet. A great oatmeal backing.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
Black with thin white head. Aroma is vaguely sweet, roasted malt. Flavor is a little sweet with a small bit of roasted malt. It’s a little watery which is somewhat distracted. Nice and smooth, but I’d like a little more malt to give it more body. Overall, it’s ok but nothing special.
2.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
22oz bottle. black with a small, stable, creamy tan head. milk chocolate and brown sugar aroma. unfitting, light tart character to this one. roasty notes, but not sweet enough. palate is spot on with a creamy fullness. vinous and oddly tart. might be something wrong.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bomber from Sam’s, Durham. Handsome pour, cola brown and roiling, with a nice head and a body that settles into something substantial. Weakish aroma, though, of artifical chocolate, flaky grain, and a bit of coffee. Mouthfeel was also a bit on the airy side, anything but the heft this style requires. And the tastes also revealed some pronounced tartness. Disappointment, because I was so in the mood for exactly this style of beer. Would consider trying again on the odds that I got an off bottle.
