Jun 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 22, 2009Ginger & chocolate aroma. Taste like it smells. Spicy > easy drinker. No alcohol flavor. Body is a tad thin. Creamier would be better. Really syrupy sweet as it warms up. I’m not seeing the 100 rating.

Jun 21, 2009 Wow. Limited Spring 2009 release. Pours black and thick...absolutely beautiful. Aroma of dark roast, caramel, banana. Coffee taste comes out at the end of a drink. Best Imperial Stout I’ve tried. Kudos.

Jun 19, 2009 Black pour with large brown head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, chocolate, hints of coffee with cream in it and vanilla. Flavor is true to nose and ever so silky with a hint of hops in the finish. The hops really balance everything wondefully. This is an easy drinkin’ impy! Glad I got more than one.

Jun 18, 2009 Color was black with beige head. Smell was nice with black cherry, spice, dark roast, and banana. Flavor was good with choclate, coffee, peanut butter, and banana. Ok beer.

Jun 18, 2009 Bomber from Lone Star Beverage courtesy of Rick. I’m a big fan of the Trappist Quads. I like the malty flavor and the touch of sweetness they bring to the finish. But this stout can give any Trappist ale a run for its money. Not too bitter with a touch of sweet and just a hint of the punch it packs. completely different than any Trappist being a stout but one easy beer to drink and enjoy. Gets better as it warms up to room temp. If Ricks got any more I’ll buy all of them. He also set me up with a Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti Stout which we drank last night and this one just edges it out. Both are fantastic and have deserved their rankings. I can only imagine how tasty the Three Floyds must be because I just can’t imagine a stout getting much better than this one.

Jun 17, 2009 Bomber. Pours a rich black with pretty much no head. Good aromas of coffee, dark fruit, licorice and some piney hop notes. Taste is pure Stone. Lots of licorice, some hops running around the edge, some bitter chocolate and a splash of coffee. A touch on the boozy side, with a light alcohol burn on the way down.....lightly astringent. Damn good. as it warms, it reveals a more chocolatey side, which is just fine by me.

Jun 17, 2009 Pours out black with some brown head. Smells great, roasted grain some coffee. Taste is roasty, creamy and bitter. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, dark fruits and hops. Syrupy sticky with slight alcohol warming. Thick and rich, a great brew.

Jun 17, 2009 Popping off the cap releases a nice cloud of beer smoke. The beer pours very dark and thick with a frothy dark brown head. While there are a few beers that look darker than this, there aren’t many. Even holding the beer up to the sunlight, almost no light makes it through. The aroma is of sweet anise, molasses and fruit. The flavor has much more coffee and chocolate than I would have expected from the aroma. Though the beer has a bit of a sweet flavor it is cut nicely by a bitterness around the edges of the mouth. Unlike many high alcohol beers, this one does not have an overpowering alcohol flavor. The beer is creamy and satisfying in the mouth, but the carbonation is a bit harsh for a beer of this style.
