Bottle at Columbus tasting 8 - Pours black with a short tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, and a little bit of plum. Flavor is chocolate, lots of roasted malts, some of that dark fruit, raisin and plum in particular. Sweet and smooth throughout and an easy drinker for a big stout but the alcohol heat detracts from the brew in my opinion. Still very good though.

Aug 11, 2008 Richmond Summer Gathering. Bomber. Deep brown, almost black, with a brown head. Chocolate and coffee nose, light licorice, a bit of alcohol. Full, slick body, slithers into the gullet. Bittersweet chocolate flavors, muted coffee and licorice, a bit of grapefruit rind peeks in. Nice!
