Bomber batch 60 thanks to pawola22 pours a dark black/brown with a medium tan head. Aroma of hops, chocolate malts, licorice, and alcohol. Taste similar to aroma, nice hops, big alcohol presence, some biscuit. A decent imperial stout but nothing mind blowing, well done but overall average.

Bottle from Zach - thanks! Black pour with a quickly fading tan head. Aroma is dry chocolate, roast, coffee, and pine bitterness. Taste is pine heavy with hop bitterness over chocolate and semi-boozy sweet malt. Slightly coating mouthfeel. I like the bitterness from the hops but the base imperial stout is a bit too buried under the bitterness.

Bomber. Batch 41.Pours a pitch black color with a medium creamy brown head. A nice nose of ash, fruity hops. The flavor is initially quite hoppy with pine, some light roast, cocoa, more ash and bitter dark chocolate. Really hoppy for a stout and well made. Great full palate.
