May 17, 2009 Wax-topped bomber. Pours cloudy dark brown with a lacy tan head. Vanilla, smoke and chocolate aroma. Soft smoke and wood notes over coffee and chocolate. Woody finish.

May 16, 2009 Bomber. The body was perfectly black with a medium tan, yet thin head. The aroma was obviously smoky up front with mossy old wood. There was also a light touch of vanilla and peaches. The body was fairly flat and I felt that this detracted from the mouth feel. There was a strong taste of smoke, especially lingering in the aftertaste. Also, I got some woody notes with toffee and tobacco. I want to taste other flavors here, but the smoke dominates. There is a lingering licorice flavor, but it mostly comes through in the aftertaste. Decent, but I don’t get the hype.

Apr 27, 2009 Bottle at pre-DLD shared by someone. Aroma is of big smoke and charred black malts. The flavor is smoky, hammy, barbeque, with a pretty balanced and light oakiness to it. Nice.

Apr 15, 2009 Poured a dark black color with good head not much lacing. Aroma was lots of smoke and ash, some alcohol as well. Flavor was lots of the same, chocolate as well as some whiskey in there. Not a bad beer nothing amazing though.
