3.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20Lightly smoky, chocolatey aroma. Pours black with small tan head. The head is viscous, causing it to hang around. Dry with light smoke and chocolate. Very creamy mouthfeel. Love the tiny carbonation. This is a nice beer.

I’m becoming more and more impressed with these guys. This one pours a dark brown color with a brown head. The aroma is toasty with some dry dark chocolate and no hops to speak of. The flavor is rich yet dry with chocolate and smoke. Nice rich chocolaty finish. I’ll pick up a bottle next time I see one. Very nice stuff.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz bottle from Liquor Kabinet. Black with a light brown head. The aroma is dark chocolate, roasted malts, light wood and light smoke. Similar flavor, fairly sweet and creamy, hides the alcohol. Medium body with a soft smooth feel. Good, but slightly underwhelming and little too sweet for me.

Pours mega jet black with a creamy dense dark beige head. The aroma is hard roasted and light smoked with chocolate and dark fruits. The flavor is thick chocolate hard roasted with a sweet vanilla and oaky hint. Sweet roasted finish. Light smoked. I love it!

4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
22 ounce bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with about an inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. Aroma is nice, the brew smells like dark fruit, chocolate, burnt/charred malt, and a bit of coffee. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some molasses, smoked malt and vanilla. Has a good sweet and burnt/roasty flavor overall. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it’s a bit creamy and slick with moderate carbonation. I think it’s an enjoyable brew, I’d buy it again. $10.49 a bomber.
