dark with a moderate light brown head. mild woody aroma, mostly roasted malt. Really, for a "big" stout it falls short. not enough rich malt flavor. Thin. nothing all that unique in the flavor. finishes bitter, slightly oaky.

Dec 2, 2008 Intergalactic Bomber. Pours a dark brown with faint red highlights under a medium light brown head. Very good lacing. Aroma of mildly roasted coffee, semisweet chocolate and earthy cereal. Nicely balanced flavors of coffee, chocolate, caramel and vanilla with hints of raisins and pears. Creamy texture and smooth, long finish. Very accessable, tasty stout.

Nov 29, 2008 22 oz bomber. Nice deep dark brown, light head with traces that linger a while. Not an overpowering stout, and almost a little light tasting, but after a few sips the roasted taste is very evident. Not bad at all, but not something I would keep on my gotta have more of list.

Nov 19, 2008 22 oz. brown bomber. Poured out a deep chocolate brown, with a whisper of a mocha colored head. Aromas are roasted malts, burnt raisins, brown sugar. Not much in the way of hops.
Flavors are of roasted malts, some caramel, coffee beans. Alcohol is well hidden. Medium mouthfeel, decent body.
Tasty beer overall.

<b>12/12/2007</b>: Boulder Beer Obovoid Empirical Stout (ale aged with oak) is near black in color with a foamy, lasting brown head. Dark fruits, semi-sweet chocolate, and some dry alcohol can be found in the aroma. The flavor is dry (first sip seems to tend toward ashy) with toasted and roasted malt, green? coffee beans (in the middle), and hints of chocolate and wood. The alcohol doesn’t poke out too much. However, the flavor does seem a bit watered down or more thin than expected. The body is medium-full and is smooth and mellow.<br /><br />

Nov 15, 2008 Bomber shared by footbalm. Pours a nice brown color with a small white head. The aroma is very nice; loads of roasted coffee, some woody notes also. The taste is very mellow; woody and smooth, roasted malts, coffee, some light oatmeal also. A easygoing, but full flavored brew. Quite nice.
