VEry nice one here, imperial nut brown if you will, or nut black, the walnuts add great depth.

This was sampled at Dark Lord Day in Munster, IN. Poured dark viscous black with as big tan head. Nose of chocolate and citrus, and some nuts and lots of alcohol. Bold body. Flavor is very rich with lots of chocolate. Bitter chocolate finish with alcohol burn. Even with the booze this is good..

2013 Bomber from trade with DrSilverworm. Bottle 225/276, Batch 113. Pours pitch black with a small dark brown head that fades quickly and collects at the edge. Very nice aroma of deep roasted malt, nuts, dark chocolate, candi sugar, and light alcohol. Taste is moderately sweet, balances nicely with ash, dark roast and bitter chocolate. Taste of nuts and coffee sometimes too. Finish is very roasty but there is definite alcohol presence that is a bit off-putting. Mild alcohol burn at first but became much bigger as the beer warmed. Mouthfeel is very thick and creamy. Overall, really good except the noticeable alcohol aroma and taste. I still very much enjoyed drinking this. Thanks Christopher.

Bottle courtesy of puddintane and his most righteous free beer contest. Pours motor oil black with no head. Nose has citrus, walnut, roast, chocolate, and booze. Taste adds an element of burnt sugar. Alcohol burn on the finish is warming. Slick creamy body.

Shared with Pixachii. Pours inky black with a creamy, mocha head. Leaves brownish ’oil’ trailing down the glass. Small bubbles- frothy. Recedes to a thin pancake and retains. Smells like walnut and coffee. Big aromas of dark cocoa, coffee, nuts- but all balanced so it’s not overpowering. Drinks super smooth. Super creamy. I can’t stop drinking it. Chocolatey mocha and walnutty goodness. Medium-full body with good sweet-bitter balance. I seriously can’t put it down. Send help.

Pours black with a nice brown head leaving small laces. Aroma is malty dark fruits chocolate coffee bready and hsa some hints of liquorice. Flavour is a bit acidy not too sweet nor too bitter roasted malty and fruity citric. Finishes bitter and roasted malty.

Bomber 42 of 192, c/o Secret Santa 2012. Pours thick, oily, and sludgey; black, opaque, very slightly dark ruby-colored when held to light, with gorgeous legs. Aromas of sweet honey, sugar, and nuttiness. Dark fruits (fig, plum, and prune) are present. Flavor is sweet, sugared plums and figs and raisins. Slight tart cherry and cocoa moves to bitter cocoa and instant espresso. Mild nutty notes and roasted nuts and toffee in the aftertasted. Creamy, thick, rich mouthfeel. Really nice. [1106]

Bomber to oversized snifter (shared with the Mrs.; thanks for muling this for me, DrSilverworm!). Batch ’13, bottle #229/276. Looks good; pitch black and viscous with foamy mocha head that dissipates into lacing. Smells and tastes good too; chocolate malt with a nice presence of both the walnuts and the dark Belgian candi sugar. Nice on the palate; rich and smooth. This is great beer.

UPDATED: FEB 18, 2013 On tap on the brewery side. Pours an opaque black with medium thick tan head. Aroma is rich with roasted malt, chocolate, and walnuts. Flavor is bold, big malts, dark fruit, chewy body, medium carbonation. Overall this is a very drinkable stout, the alcohol is hidden well under a big malty body with nice additions from the walnuts and Belgian candi balanced nicely.

Opaque black beer, good tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Very modest carbonation. Smooth dark malt, not bitter or roasty. Mild smooth coffee. A little lactose sweetness. Some fruity tones start to come through but the dominant flavour is christmas spiced orange. Just a trace of roasted nuts in the smooth finish. Unusual beer!
