22oz bomber. Opaque black with a steady beige-brown head. Big, sweet, roasty, chocolate aroma. A pretty nice Stout, thick specialty malt tones, quite rich. Quite above par for the style, this has all the big taste of an Imperial Stout without the cloying stickiness or brutal ABV. Bigtime chocolate flavor. Well done.

Bomber courtesy of LilBeerDoctor. Pours deep black with a half finger brown head that results in nice lacing. The nose is roast, burnt malt, dark fruit and coffee. The taste is ashy cocoa, charred caramel, burnt malt and black coffee with some hops in the finish. Medium creamy mouthfeel. Good stout. Thanks Margaret!

Intensely dark, practically black with medium-brown edges and head. Delicious, roasted, almost woody aroma that’s just sweet enough to balance the roast. A hint of light smoke. Much lighter in the mouth than I expected, extremely smooth, with a hint of roasted (dark) chocolate-like bitterness. Very wet, very roasted, and really good. SO easy for such a dark, roasted beer. Aftertaste of dark chocolate. Lovely!

Strong toast flavor and nice and dry. Great cereal taste. Flavor remains all about the malt through the bitterness. Keeps its great tan head throughout. The best of the Pike ales I tried.

Pours as dark as night with a milk chocolate coloured head. Aroma is of citrus, mainly grapefruit and lemon, pine, chocolate, ash, smoke. Taste very citrusy, lemon, grapefruit, ash, smoke, coffee, dark chocolate, and tar. Nice mouth feel. Another hop bomb out of the PNW, but very nice enjoyable beer.

Bottle courtesy of ditmier in the Perfect 10 trade. Pours a deep jet black, viscous, with a thin dark tan head which swells a bit with agitation. Really nice aroma with plum, roast, caramel, coffee, and a touch of dark cocoa. Medium bodied, really smooth and roasty, with some nice dark chocolate notes. Long smooth roast bitter finish with a little light char flavor coming through. This was really good.
