Poured a dark brown color with an average frothy brown head that lasted with fair lacing. Moderate to heavy roasted coffee, chocolate and caremel aroma. Heavy bittersweet roasted malty flavor with a heavy coffee bittersweet and small alcohol bite finish of long duration.
Full body with a smooth texture and flat carbonation.
This is a standout beer.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 3, 2010 Bomber. Pours black with a slight ruby hue and a creamy dark tan head. Aroma is very chocolate forward, with heavy notes of coffee and some tobacco. Very roasted and sweet. Flavor starts sweet with chocolate and cocoa but quickly gains a coffee or espresso bitterness. Finishes creamy and heavy on the dark chocolate, with a light bitterness. Mediumish body, thin for the style. Not bad, a bit off and less complex or full bodied than I prefer for a serious impy stout maniac (2774), Richmond, Virginia, USA
