Apr 21, 2009 Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a dark brown color with ruby highlights and a thin, tan head. Aroma is of chocolate cherry cordial candy with some alcohol notes. Taste is of rich, dark malts, dark chocolate and dark fruits, well blended with subtle, grassy hops. Ending is of bittersweet dark chocolate. Medium to full bodied and smooth, with ample carbonation. VERY NICE!!

Apr 21, 2009 Bomber: Pours black with ruby highlights with a thin tan head, huge aroma of chocolate with some dark fruits, starts slightly bitter and ends very sweet with a chocolate aftertaste. Full bodied with a sticky mouthfeel and mild carbonation. Alcohol is well hidden.

Apr 19, 2009 Yes, this was very good. I shared a bottle of this with neighbors sitting around my backyard firepit on the first warm day in April. Lovely smoke...from the fire. Rich chocolate flavor of very good dry, bitter chocolate, with low abv and good palate. I didn’t want too much of this, however. Great flavor, but too rich for a whole bomber by myself, for sure.

Apr 18, 2009 ’08 bomber shared with TheBeerSommelier - thanks Matt... pours a deep black with a good sized tan head... Huge chocolate aromas - the name says it all... Chocolate from front to back followed by a slight bitterness... the chocolate is not overwhealming though... I could easily drink the whole bottle myself.

Apr 17, 2009 Bottle from Kelly via Seattle. Pours a viscous black color with a faint reddish brown head. Smells and tastes of semi-sweet chocolate. Finishes with a note of hops, but don’t get me wrong - this is pure Hershey’s syrup. Heed the warnings and split this at least 4 ways per bottle. I feel like I’m turning into Cornholio as I drink this.

Apr 9, 2009 Bottle, Pours black as night with a tall tight brown head. Notes of, what else, chocolate fill my nose with a hint of vanilla and caramel. The body is heavy and syrupy. The chocolate dominates with what tastes like 60 percent dark chocolate. I feel like I’m drinking herseys syrup. The body is fairly lifeless and the bottle is nearly impossible to finish alone. This must be 800 calories, easy. I love chocolate, but I would like some malty notes or a hoppy front to get the chocolate moving a bit more.

Apr 9, 2009 Updated: Apr 10, 20090.65l - Oily, pitch black liquid under a dark tan head of small size. Chocolate shavings on nose. Palate is Hershey syrup followed by a burst of hops. This was good.

Apr 6, 2009 If you want chocolate here you go! Poured oily black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate. Tons of bitter chocolate. A little hot. Should be great with a year on it.
