3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a black color with some reddish notes coming through in the bottom of the glass, with a creamy brown head, that leaves some awsome lacing. Aroma is quite roasted and fairly sweet, with notes of coffee and a slight amount of dark fruits. Flavor is of roasted malts, sweet malts, coffee and a slight note of dark fruits. I also get some hops, and the alcohol is very well hidden. It sord of reminds me of a Dry Stout. The body is medium to full with a creamy mouthfeel. Overall a very good Foreign Stout, thats actually quite refreshing.

Bomber. Pours jet black with milky light brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, mocha and chocolate. Taste begins with strong bittersweet chocolate and dark roasted malt flavors followed by caramel, mocha, toffee and dark roast coffee. Overall mouthfeel is intensely flavorful and similar to a glass of sweetened ice coffee with a shot of espresso in it. Finish is creamy and boozy with a bitter, smoky aftertaste. Reminds me a bit of Green Flash Stout. Excellent value at $3 a bomber.

on my wishlist since 7/10/2005 .. . stamped 597’06 13:32 .. Drank Dec 25 2008 @ 1pm .. . Slight burnt out bbq pit + tire and even some light guinness aromas ..great foamers .. . pretty roasty stuff.. easy drinking for sure .. . sounds like cola .. . not awfully complex but seems to be disappearing quickly in my glass .. . glad i got to try it but i want a fresh sample, not aged .. . Mosquitoes remind us that we are not as high up on the food chain as we think..

Has a dark brown color, not much quick disappearing foam of a white-lightbrown color. Has a slight malty/smoky taste, the alcohol is hardly noticable. Overall I’d say it’s a good stout, though I can’t really compare since it was my first one :)

This beer is very creamy and has a great coffee flavor with chocolate in the background. No one would ever guess the alcohol content of this just by drinking it. Very drinkable beer with an awesome bottle. It only has one downfall. The aftertaste. Its not bitter or even dry. Its very prevelent. It almost seemed like a teriyaki or some other Asian flavor to it. This is different and makes it stand out against other similar stouts but it does not seem to match with the rest of the taste.

Roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, ash and liquorice in aroma.

Pours solid black with a dark brown head. Darkest head I’ve seen in a long time.
Massive aroma of cocoa and dark chocolate, molasses, with some roasted coffee and barley in the background. Pretty full on.
More massively roasted flavours (but no burnt notes!). Some sweet alcohol shows but is balanced by huge roasted barley notes. A big beer! Quite sweet. A bit too much alcohol?
Quite creamy body, the carbonation is a little high.
