Bottle. Moderate to heavy malt aromas of toasted, molasses and coffee, moderate aromas of herbs and resin for the hops, moderate aroma of dough for the yeast, with prune, tar and brown sugar in the background. Head is thick, rocky, off-white, with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is dark brown. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then the long finish is lightly sweet and acidic, and moderately bitter. Palate is medium to full, between creamy and syrupy and has a lively carbonation. A full, rich beer with some nice aromas and flavors. The 11% alcohol is well hidden.

22oz. bottle. Dark, sweet malt aroma, roasty and lightly fruity with notes of coffee, dark breadiness, chocolate, caramel, cola and some light, plummy fruit. Deep, dark red-brown color, nearly black, with a fine, but lasting, tan ring head. Flavor is predominantly malty as well, showing some dark fruitiness and hop citrus in the background, but otherwise roasty dark maltiness dominates, with suggestions of rich dark chocolate, espresso, prune, fig, toffee and with only a very slight bitterness at the finish. Palate is thick and smooth, body is adequately full. Far from the train wreck that it could’ve been, this one actually held a small amount of intrigue for me.

Bottle. A dark red beer with a big beige head. The aroma is of yeast, dark fruits, glue and alcohol, the taste is much the same just without the glue. Medium body with a alcoholic finish.

Dark with a bit of red. The aroma is of dark fruit with roasted barley and caramel. Flavor is of dark fruit, caramel and a coffee aftertaste.

Very dark. Full-bodied with soft carbonation. The aroma hints at citrus hops, but this is mostly malty. Choclatey, roasty, with dark fruits underneath. Finish kicks in with some bitter hops, but that’s relatively minor, and keeps it dry. It’s hard to do more than sip it. Good value at $5+ a bomber.
