May 11, 2008 Pours dark brown with medium beige head. Aroma of coffee, yeast, and chocolate. Pleasant mouth feel, creamy, but very light carbonation. Taste is sweet, caramel and chocolaty, seems to end too abruptly but is followed by a very nice long finish, of roast malt, nuts, and burnt coffee with a slight bitter tang. Definitely calls for another.

May 5, 2008 Bomber from Lakeville Liqour:
Pours a dark ruby brown with a nice tan head. Aroma was dusty yeast and dark chocolate. Flavour carried through with the chocolate tones, and a light bitterness.

Apr 30, 2008 12oz bottle. This one has been intriguing for awhile: seemed like an interesting idea with the story of the super old recipe and all that... Well, dark brown body with a medium beige head and good lacing. As soon as I open the bottle, there is a nice aroma of spicy and grassy hops that dissipates too quickly. Followed by doughy, yeastiness and some cocoa. The flavor is pretty sweet with a mild roast, some chocolate, cold coffee ground scent perceived as flavor, and some subtle hops. Could use some more bitterness or more roast. Reminds me of a dunkel, which I guess it is, but fermented at a higher temp? The sweetness gets to me by the end, but no shame in putting one of these down and I would go for it again.

Apr 26, 2008 Ok stuff
ok roasted malt flavor a bit thin and watery in the mouth feel......almost seems like it was trying to be a swarczbeer...but not really
I think this is semi refreshing for a hot day....but I would much rather drink something else....

Apr 22, 2008 Bomber. Poured an almost black with some brown highlights. Just a ring of a head that dissipated quickly. Not much in way of aroma besides some roasted malt. Flavors of predominately black tea and coffee, molasses and toffee. Fairly malty. Quite good.
