3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. It pours dark brown with a collapsing tan head. The aroma is nice with lots of plums and figs, hints of molasses and cocoa with some toasty malts. The flavor is very rich and fruity with plum, fig, black cherry and then some cocoa, brown sugar and toasted malt followed by some surprisingly strong earthy bitterness and roast in the finish. Very full bodied and enjoyable. Another good one from CC!
2.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Pours a dark brown with an offwhite head. Smells of brown sugar, dark red dried berries and malt. Tastes spicy, with heavy licorice that destroys it for me completely. Could not finish.

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2011 Bottle shared at Daje’s place
Pours very dark brown with a thick tanned head. Smells of funky brett, liquorice, roasted malts and some nuts. Interesting with that faint of brett. Malty body, good sweetness. Very warming with nice tones. Very oily feel. Nice bitter finish that balance out the richness and sweetness from the body
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle in Vail with Jetson. Deep brown appearance with a sizable brown head. Roasty, dark nutty malty, a touch tangy aroma. Big toasty malty, roasty nutty, moderately fruity, creamy flavor. Not sure if the fruitiness was an off taste, an infection, or just an undesirable taste.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber. Deep brown body with deep red highlights. Frothy tan head. Strong aroma of chocolate, cocoa powder, roasted malts, toffee, roasted nuts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium to full body, velvety, slightly chalky, texture, moderate carbonation. Lots of powdered chocolate in the flavor along with tastes of roast and nuts. A big beer that’s nicely balanced, though a bit sweet. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma and flavor are roasted malt, some nuttiness, plus some flavors I didn’t expect: quite a bit of spice and tart fruit. Somewhat heavy mouthfeel.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Entering old-rates. 75cl bottle. Brune foncée, col beige.
Arome est dans l’optique de la Maduro, pas mal de malt grillé, caramel avec une pointe de café, le tout est doublé par la volume d’alcool. Ressent une pointe de noisette, malt grillé et un palais qui reste asse épais. Reste facile à boire au profile léger mais traitre et un malt très présent et agréable.

750ml bottle in a snifter. Pours very dark brown with lacy, light tan head. Aroma of nuts, some chocolate and caramel malts, some floral hops, and a little alcohol. Flavor the same. Thicker texture. A really good beer.
