Bomber. Thick and very dark. Good roasted earthy aromas wafting up to my nose. The flavor is big and full but not over the top, it’s actually very easy to drink. I’m surprised it’s called an 8.8% beer as it’s very smooth. I think I have enjoyed every beer I have sampled from Green Flash and this is no exception.

Oct 2, 2008 Aroma of rich coffee and dark chocolate, darkest brown, pours a slight toffee head. Flavour is a full roasted malt, dark chocolate too. Full bodied, bitter as hell. Fabulous! Thanks Torontoblue.

Oct 1, 2008 22oz bottle, courtesy of Ernest. Thanks! Pours a very dark, chocolate-brown color; medium tan head with solid, fine-bubbled lacing. Lots of roasted malts, oily dark chocolate, and bitter cocoa and minerals in the aroma; nicely dry and well-roasted. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy, oily dark chocolate and dried fruits, well-roasted coffee, and roasted / lightly charred malts upfront; average carbonation; very solid, slightly oily presence; nicely viscous and drinkable, well-roasted imperial stout. Nice. Lengthy finish: roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and cocoa; oily, round finish with some pleasant viscosity.

Sep 28, 2008 Pours opaque black with a thick mocha head. Tons of cocoa in the aroma, a bit of sweet molasses, vanilla, coffee, and a little earthy breadiness. Flavor is quite sweet, with layers of chocolate, coffee, anise, vinous notes, and vanilla melding together. Nice traces of bitterness throughout compliment the smooth and somewhat sweet chocolate presence. Good stuff.

Sep 27, 2008 Bomber. Ribbon of opaque black pour to a building dark tan creamy head with lots of lacing. Aroma of roasted coffee and semi-sweet chocolate. Initial flavor of espresso and chocolate followed quickly by anise, vanilla, and a touch of faint smoke. Some caramel rounds out the taste and almost seems to bind the flavors together. Classic West Coast bitter note leads into a long, smooth and flavorful finish. Very silky and inviting texture. A really nice and well-crafted stout. Green Flash is no flash in the pan.

Sep 27, 2008 Bomber courtesy of DarkElf. Pours an opaque black and a one finger tan head with decent lacing. Nose is roasted malt and dark chocolate for the most part with a touch of coffee in the background. Taste is burnt coffee, toasted malt and dry cocoa powder with a slightly sour alcohol finish. Medium creamy mouth feel. Decent stout. Thanks Stephen.
