Nov 4, 2009 Pours black with almost no head. Aroma of chocolate from stout, but a decent amount of citrus hops from the IPA. For having less % of Stout in there, it holds it own. Although interesting and worth a shot, I think I would rather just drink a aggressively hopped stout outright.

Nov 1, 2009 Bomber from Whole Foods, Tampa, Fl. Pours a dark cola brown to black with 1 finger tan head that settles quickly. Aroma is both malty and hoppy with notes of chocolate, caramel, light floral esters, and light roast. Flavor is initially hoppy bitterness with a transition to chocolate, malty goodness. Floral hops toward finish with some light caramel, toffee notes before. Medium body with a malty, hoppy finish.

Oct 19, 2009 Quite dark brown, chocolatey aroma wrapped around leafy hops. Creamy coffee balanced with strong assertive bitterness.

Oct 17, 2009 Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate with raisin and light fruit and cocoa powder. Odd I can almost differentiate the different beers. Chocolate malts come on strong in the flavor. Light fruit, some floral and some molasses. Good but interesting. Still, I’d give it another go.

Oct 12, 2009 The aroma is both very hoppy and very toasted with chocolate, coffee, and molasses. The appearance is dark with a tan head and a few particles. The flavor is like the aroma with a nice toasted malt and bitter coffee finish. The palate is smooth and thick. Overall a nice take on the black and tan.

Oct 7, 2009 pours pitch black with a nice and fluffy tan head. aroma is mostly pine tree and IPA smelling with a hint of coffee and caramel. when you drink it, its mostly stoutish, as is tastes very coffee like, roasty, full bodied and malty with a hint of hops. this stuff truly is a beautiful mix of a great IPA and a great stout.

Oct 2, 2009 Updated: Oct 7, 2009~ Purchased this 22 oz bomber from Shoreline Beverage in Huntington, NY. Pours black with a nice tan head that lingers around for a while. Aromas are of citrus, pine needles, and roasted malts. At 67% IPA, there’s a good dose of hops up front. The stout flavors then kick in, and at only 33%, it seems to balance everything out quite effectively. Overall, Satisfying. ~

Oct 2, 2009 22oz bomber. Pours stout dark but not thick. Settles quickly with a rich head. Flavor and aroma is evidently hoppy with a slight bitterness and light sweetness from the dark malts. Very complex! I was curious about this combination and pleasantly surprised.
