Bomber. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma and flavor are roasted malt, quite a bit of chocolate, some licorice and a hint of coffee. Just a little sour, earthy funk. Starts sweet; ends dry. Creamy, medium-weight on the tongue.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 kgrew99 (7) - New Jersey, USA - MAR 21, 2013 does not count
Pours dark with a tan head. (It is a stout after all.) Roasted malt and a bit of dark fruit on the nose. Upon tasting Raisin and plum are more pronounced up front with toasties. Light mouthfeel with good carbonation. Chalky texture which I'm a huge fan of. Fruit hits again then a lasting slightly bitter finish.

1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 6/20 Jakob (24) - Berlin, GERMANY - MAR 13, 2013
This stout is way overrated.
It has a cloudy look, and a very bad cigarette aftertaste to it.
Believe me, there are way better stouts out there.
The bottle was fresh, so no contamination or aging carbonyls.

Very nice Stout, pours a dark brown head and has a real chocolate flavor. It’s a good Stout to have with a sandwich or meal, not over powering but not too light either.

Aroma is mildly funky, fruit and a hint of coffee. The flavor is coffee, fruit, a mild funk/Belgian quality and a tart/acidic finish.

Pours so dark you can’t see through it, and has little head. Nice roasted malt notes and hints of coffee, this stout, is just biting enough to make you alive, but not too harsh to be off-putting. Good stuff.

Bomber from Brewforia. Pours durn black with a creamy dark tan head. Lots of chocolate in the nose. Med + body. Thins a bit as the carb leaves. It’s sort of ashy and gritty, with a lot of nearly milkish chocolate. Seems dry enough to suck the water out of my mouth. Finish is almost sweet chocolate, but there’s ashiness and hops to cut that down. Someone’s doing a good job here. I think this one stands out from the stout crowd. And it’s a big crowd!
