Bomber. Pours black with a nice foamy tan head. Aromas of roasted malts, coffee, and some chocolate. Flavor is full of roasted goodness, light caramel, bitter coffee, and smooth carbonation. Nice brew and easy drinking. Could use lighter carbonation though

Bomber from Whole Foods Market Paramus. Pours a clear very dark brown color with a large frothy brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malts, leafy hops and a faint tartness. The taste is very dry roasted malts, chocolate, bitter hops, green almost olive notes. Medium bodied. Interesting,

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/21/12
Aroma: The aroma has bittersweet chocolate, roasted barley, some coffee, and hoppy notes
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a thick, pillowy, light brown head and heavy lacing
Flavor: The taste is bittersweet chocolate and coffee, with a fairly heavy hop presence for this style
Palate: The body is medium-full, though it feels slightly watery, and it end with a dry finish
Overall Impression:
I thought this was a pretty solid, leaning hoppy, Porter. It may not have been exactly on style, but this was a nice beer that I enjoyed drinking.

22 ounce bomber poured a dark brown color, aromas of chocolate, smidge of coffee, floral hops that are not overpowering. Light carbonation, light on the palate, a decent porter that tasted like the aromas.

I liked this porter. Balanced. Tasted of malt. Poured dark and had a beautiful creamy head. McNeill’s has some really fantastic beers and I would say this isn’t there best but is pretty damn good.

Bottle to snifter. Pours dark brown with a soapy off white head that fades to a soapy film and collar. Aroma is malty metallic with not much else. Taste is is biiter malt and faint hops with a metallic aftertaste. Palate is thin medium with a bitter dry finish.

Draft at RnH with Linh. Pour a deep brown body with minor lacing. Aroma is fresh hops and light roast. Mouthfeel is a bit surprising - tastes almost like a black ipa with a large presence of hop in the flavor. Nicely carbonated and balanced between the rich roast and bready notes.
