Wheat Ridge (Denver), Co. - Applejack Liquors - 22 oz bomber. Jet black pour, bubbly off-white head, brief lacing, Aroma has some marshmallow accents, a hint of licorice.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bomber - fizzy, cola-like pour - this seems to be suffering from the early onset of an infection - oxidation, stale maltiness, a papery character - a mild tartness that seems like it would have soon turned into a sourness - this seems to be a problem with their bottled products - seems like it was probably a good stout when it went in the bottle, though - coffee, toasty character, bittersweet chocolate - but it is all subordinate to the infection - moderate acidity in the finish - maybe they just need to stop bottling?

Bomber poured a translucent deep dark brown nearly black with a small diminishing tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, oatmeal, bakers chocolate, light tar and light licorice. Palate was light bodied and smooth with a watery finish.. Flavors of roasted malt, dark chocolate, light licorice, light smoke and a hint of tar with a smooth watery lingering roasty finish. Would be a better beer if it had more body.
