$3.99 Bomber. Opaque with a lasting creamy ring of bubbles and frosty lacing. Nose is chocolate chip cookie dough, berries, oatmeal, char, coffee, dark chocolate. Heavy body is drinkably watery, smooth and sweet, but well-balanced by the roast . Tastes of hickory-smoked milk chocolate, espresso, oats, tart berry, light sour cream, and charry wood. Extra overall point for the nice price.

4.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
22oz bottle, BLACK label. Oh My Lord. This beer couldn’t pour any darker! Black color, light brown head. Looks like the darkest bar of chocolate ever made. Long lasting head, nice lacing. Aroma of roasted barley with a touch of licorice. Mostly roast, some BBQ, distant molasses. The head won’t go away. Flavor is smooth, creamy, malt. Loads of roasted barley, some cacao nib, smoke, and a touch of coffee bean. Finishes with a roasted bitterness and a nice hop pine character, and also a light licorice. This is one of the BEST STOUTS I’ve ever had.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber from grocery store in Washington state on my way into Canada. Enjoyed at downtown Vancouver hotel. Pours into tiny hotel glass mostly black with some quality frothy beige head formed of tiny bubbles and leaving nice lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malt, smoke, roasted salted nuts, dark chocolate. Flavor is dark chocolate (but not sweet), campfire, ash, espresso. Velvety-creamy mouthfeel with long lingering roasty-bitterness and coffee. A good straightforward stout full of flavor -- this is smooth and quite easy drinking. (393, 354)
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bomber, label differs from Ratebeer picture, this is the "extra stout". Not bad, not outstanding, a bit light in the body department hence the lack of an imperial description. Middle of the road all the way around.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber from Total Wine in Orlando, $3.99. Poured jet black with a decent brown head. Left a lot of lace. Aroma of deep roasted malts and some chocolate. A touch of raisin and mild smoke as well. Flavors consist of roasted malts, and smoke. A subtle fruity sourness blended into the espresso bitter finish.Super smooth and medium mouthfeel, good carbonation. For the cost of this bomber I was expecting much less. What a pleasant surprise. I bought three bombers of other beers from this same brewery. I am now looking forward to them immensely.
