3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bomber from Total Wine in Kennesaw, $3.99. Poured jet black with a decent brown head. Left a lot of lace. Aroma of deep roasted malts and some chocolate. Some subtle smoke in there too. Flavors consist of roasted malts, smoke and an espresso like bitterness. Super smooth and full mouthfeel, perfect carbonation. This one was quite a surprise for how much it cost. Finishes way dry with a lingering roastiness that hangs around for awhile. Very good.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Weak dark roasted malt and charcoal aroma with licorice hints. Black, viscous, with a thin brown head, decent lacing. Dry, yet strong flavor of charcoal, smoke, and ash. Finishes more tart, malty, and with black pepper. This should be wonderful with swedish meatballs. Very nice. I’m beginning to like this brewer.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
22 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Chesapeake, VA. Dark brown, nearly black, pour with a creamy tan head. Roasted malt, coffee, and dark chocolate aromas. Big, I mean huge, smoky dark chocolate flavor. Rich and roasty. Quite nice overall but perhaps a bit overpowering with just how rich this is.

I had this on tap at the Pike Brewery while on vacation in Seattle. Very chocolatey and nutty, black frothy head, full bodied, very good. Nuff said!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark pour with a brownish foam. The aroma had notes of chocolate and coffee bean. The flavor was sort of dry but bitter notes came through in very end. It was good but not super great.
