Bomber: Aroma is malt forward, chocolate, caramel, a toasted and roasted note, and a little bit of a hop twang in the backing. Appearance is a clear black that is ever so slightly translucent with a small tan head that lingers. Taste is nicely creamy, chocolate, roasted malt, caramel, and a lighter hop characteristic in the flavor. Palate is light to medium carbonation, slippery mouth feel, and an aftertaste of slight roast and malt. Overall, Decent porter and a good sipper. Cheers

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 onceblind (1358) - Denver, Colorado, USA - JAN 31, 2011
Sampled at Denver Winter Brewfest 2011. Dark brown, but is light enough to see through the edges. Light tan head. Aroma of chocolaty goodness, with mild notes of coffee grounds. Taste is very chocolate-porter centric, as expected. Elements of coffee kinda hit the palate in the middle/ending of the taste. It is quite good just nothing unexpected from the name. I found the body kinda lacking, though.
