3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Pours a very dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma is of nice roasted malt and a rich dark chocolate. Taste is very plesant of an expensive chocolate, slight bitterness, roasted malt, and just enough sweetness to not dominate it. This is a nice stout that is slightly different than your average stout.

Bomber bottle from Giant Eagle in Pittsburgh. Lots of folks are writing saying that this tastes like a candy bar but I’m having trouble with that statement. More sweet that bitter, the chocolate seems weak and the "imperialness" is also on the weaker end. Guess I expect these two elements to be more on the strong side.

I love this beer it is like drinking a chocolate candy bar. Share a bomber with a few people because too much of this brew gets to be too much. It is a good dessert beer that would go good with vanilla ice cream. It is sweet and chocolaty and the chocolate is very prevalent on the nose. Not powdered chocolate but molten chocolate flavor.

Wow -- liquid dessert but not a simpleton stout! Strong, strong chocolate aroma. Chocolate flavor hits you at the front and back ends and is just splendid. It's the middle part that makes this beer though. Beautiful stout base. Roastiness in abundance. There's a lot here -- enough to satisfy the geeks and the newbies. Highly recommended!

A deep black body with a nice brown head that did have some nice retention. Aroma had a good mix of leather, roasted coffee malts and lots of chocolate. Both bittersweet and sweet chocolates. Flavor seemed to have a good roasted malt base and the chocolate seemed to have a really great bitter-sweet flavor. The bitterness seemed to blend really well with the coffee malts and the sweetness added layers of flavor to it. Alcohol was a nice warming presence in the finish. Nice.

Pours black with mild aroma of chocolate. Tastes of slightly bitter chocolate which was unexpected. Finishes with a creamy mouthfeel.

creamy coffee coloured head. coffee coloured beer. an explosive aroma of milk chocolate. very full taste of chocolate, almost like a chocolate milk, sweet, the alcohol is well hidden. full of flavour but does get tiresome after a while.draft @ la tape / notes from backlog

Smells and taste like heaven! Absolutely wonderful chocolate flavor. Hits the palate with a full body, leaving an abrupt finish of alcohol to compliment the chocolate flavors. I didn’t want to put this beer down! Definately recommended.

I aged this one since 2011 and surprisingly it still has a super boozy nose; still a delicious chocolate ale with a bit of caramel, vanilla on the nose and a clear, healthy dosing of cocoa; thick bodied with a resiny hoppiness and bitterness from the cacao; age has done this well.

A dark roasted chokolate flavor with sweetness and some bitterness in the aftertaste. A creamy mouthfeel. Surpricingly light to drink for a heavy beer. Very dark brown with a light brown head.
