Mar 30, 2009 22oz bomber pours a very deep, dark, mahogany brown with a creamy, slightly lacing, beige head. Aroma is very malty and sweet, crackers, toast, biscuits, honey, caramel, toffee some slight earthiness from the hops too. Flavor is very sweet, chewy malts, caramel, a little boozy, some light wood, dried fruits, dark fruits. Finish is sticky and sweet. Not bad, but a little simple for my taste.

Mar 27, 2009 Bottle from BevMo in La Jolla: Viewed as a deep shade of mahogany with a fat patch of puffy khaki color of heading. The nose is fooled by a combination of different scents such as chocolate, caramel, and a fresh cigar aroma. Flavor is initially sweet and fruity with a presence of dried fruits like raisin or fig as well as moist chewy prunes. There is a strong toasty malt backbone dominating the drink but also has a hop bite to be noticed and appreciated.

Mar 21, 2009 Chocolately brown with a thick pillowy tan head, the result of an aggressive pour, and very nice lacing. Strong aromas of dark fruit, toffee, brwon sugar, and alcohol. Robust, complex malt flavors featuring figs, raisins, mollasses, and an oak woodiness. Warming alcohol sensation throughout. Medium body, lively carbonation, and a slightly dry finish.

Mar 17, 2009 Bottle from kp at February Houston Tasting. Thanks, dude! Pours a deep black with a retarded plumb odor. Flavor is floral raisin, dry chocolate cherry with dust on it from years of neglect. Average mouthfeel. Sink this bastard.

Mar 15, 2009 February Houston tasting. Thanks to KP for bringing this. Pours a dark burnt caramel with a thin mocha head. Nose of cocoa and mocha. Flavor of grapefruit and hops. Medium bodied. Seems more like a dark IPA.

Mar 15, 2009 Pours a deep caramel brown, with a small off white head. Smells of some bready yeast, caramel malt, and some dark fruits. The flavor seemed overly fruity bitter to me. Unbalanced throughout, just not a good flavor mix here. the bready yeast flavors were minimal. Almost seemed like a forced barleywine. i wasnt really expecting much here, and this didnt disappoint.

Mar 13, 2009 This dark brown ale poured with a decent beige head and a chocolate aroma. There is a chocolate and coffee flavor with a soapy bitterness at the finish.
