Color is obsidian with caramel luster on the shallow pour; has a coffee color head; aromatic and fully bright richness in taste. This is a full-bodied beer with nut overtones; a high quality beer for a meager price. Thorough taste and volume.

Apparently I’m supposed to fill this out. Take the numbers that I put down with a grain of salt if you will, but I’m just your average NW beer junkie looking to sample as many different brews as possible.

This stout is great in color, aroma, taste, and palate. With rich flavors in chocolate, oats, with a tiny hint of raisin; this stout delivers well after the sip. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bomber bottle from my neighbor Bob - Thanks! Pours like lukewarm tar and erupts into several inches of aromatic foam that stays laced with the glass to final swallow. Dark chocolate, burnt oak and lots of bitters leave an impression on your taste buds all the way to the gut. This dragon has teeth, and you won’t forget about this one and will soon be seeking a second. Easily one of the best stouts around.

Pours a dark brown head, has an almost chocolate flavour to it, very pleasant to drink. If rich stouts are your thing then this is a must try. One of the best Imperial Stouts I’ve had, it has a lovely rich, roasted, chocolate palette but is not overwhelming like some Imperial Stouts can be.

poured this years batch into a snifter glass and got the blackest of bodies with a nice looking 1/2 inch chocolate head.the aromas were a blend of cocoa,sweet milk chocolate,smoke,and bitter roasted malts.the flavor was another complex mix of bitter coffee grains,sweet milk chocolate,dry chocolate,and caramel malts.the mouthfeel was nice and full and the palate was complex.this is an excellent stout.

Obtained from my folks who went to Seattle a few months back. Pours a deep black with a thick, creamy light brown head; perfect apperance. Pleasantly sweet and tasty with big notes of roasted malt, raisin, plum, mocha, a boatload of chocolate along with an undercurrent of caramel sweetness. Has a prominent dosage Pacific NW hops which is more than ok with me. Beautifully balanced. Incredibly silky and creamy with lively, fine-beaded carbonation. Lacing hangs on the glass in sheets with good head retention. One of the best stouts I’ve ever had, just awesome.

Whoa, Nelly, as soon as I pour this I can see and smell greatness. The pour is obsidian, the color of a black dragon, with a medium, perfectly uniform, dark tan head. Perfect appearance. The aroma avails itself with chocoff, black malt, backup hops and esters, and some molasses. The taste begins chocolate malty, with some hops and esters at mid palate. The finish is very dense and smooth...not at all cloying, with slight nuts, rauchy, and oaty elements coupled with the very dense dark malt, chocolate, and molasses. The mouthfeel is superb, with a richness and dense complexity and balance that impresses me greatly. I love this beer, and I’m glad I have 2 more to enjoy.

Oily black pour, deep brown head. Intense roast aroma, sweet, chocolate and molasses. Thick, heavy creamy mouthfeel. Beautiful roasted malt in generous abundance, bitter chocolate, coffee, subtle anise. finish is long and bitter. I didn’t want this to end!
