Damn this beer is smooth for a bourbon aged porter. Pours dark as night with a small amount of off white head. Slight burbon notes come thrugh in the after tastes. Had it on cask the other night and I thought it was smooth before, god damn this is buy far one of the best cask beers i have ever had, smooth as fuck with an explosion of awesome sweet roasty boozy flavors!!!!!!

Pours a velvety black from the bottle with a faint attempt at a brown head of foam. Loaded with bourbon, vanilla, bubble gum, and licorice on the nose with flavors of dark cocoa, mild coffee, and dark fruit in the taste. Highly viscous and potent, but a little thin in body.

22 oz. bottle, courtesy of Beerlando. 2008 vintage. Dark black color with a small, light tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, soothing vanilla, and tons of whisky. Thin mouthfeel, but not watery. Flavor is a treat. While it is definitely boozy, the other notes are still allowed to shine. As with the aroma, notes of vanilla, chocolate, oak, and some smokiness. Finish is warming alcohol and coffee notes. Very tasty beer.

Bomber from JB175. Thanks Jason! Pours black with ruby around the edges and a little foam around the edges. Smell is coffee beans, slight chocolate, and a lot of harsh oakiness. Flavor is similar with a huge hit of stale coffee, creamy cocoa and some astringent oak. Bourbon flavor was nice though. It left some stinging alcohol on the palate. Medium palate and medium carbonation. This was sort of

Bonus Bomber from OldMr.Crow. Full Sail and me once got along but we don’t anymore. So I’m curious about how good this might actually be. Pours black with a light brown head. Nose is oaky with bourbon. Taste is sweet and chocolaty and overall decent.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body. Big head. Lots of sweet chocolate malt, bourbon, coffee and oak. Not bad.
