Nov 21, 2008 This brew pours a dark, almost black color with a band of light tan head. Lacing retains somewhat but is not significant.
The smell is of smoke and semi-sweet chocolate.
The first taste to hit the tongue is the smokiness followed immediately by the nicely roasted malt. A hint of dark chocolate can be tasted as well. The finish is a very roasted flavor with a hint of charcoal. An excellent blend in the finish.
The carbonation is done very well and complements the brew’s viscocity.
A fine tasting brew that all could drink all night. Extremely drinkable and proves to be yet another astounding offering from Stone.

Nov 20, 2008 Poured black with a tan head. Smokey/sweet aroma. Taste was a little creamy and very smooth. The chocolate malts blended well with the smokey flavor. Overall a little watery. Very good!

Nov 20, 2008 Brewed in the USA !!! Pours a very dark mahogany / black color with a med creamy tan head. Aroma of chocolate, malts, smoked almonds. Taste is of nuts, coffee, bitter chocolate, and malts. There was some nice lacing in the glass. Mouthfeel is smooth and the finish is warm. Very nice porter ..... :)

Nov 20, 2008 Bomber. Black with thick tan head. Nose of maltiness but light smoke. Taste comes off with light smoke flavor, burnt malts, sweet. Smooth profile, easy to drink, alcohol very evident-tastes like an 8% ABV beer. Warms up nicely. Good beer.

Nov 19, 2008 Pours a dark black with a smoky aroma that hints at charcoal and dirt. Flavor is the same with smoke, chocolate malt, peat, and finishes dry with some rubber flavor. Interesting beer with lots of dryness throughout.

Nov 3, 2008 How I haven’t rated this I don’t know, bomber shared with my girlfriend and used in the beer battered Seitan she made tonight. Pours black with a tan ring. Nose is smokey and rich. Taste is mild and somewhat smoked. This better than I remembered, I never really had much a taste for this beer before.

Nov 1, 2008 Bomber, 22 oz. Dark brown with thin tan head. Smoke flavor is too subtle for my tastes given other smoked porters I’ve had. Relatively solid proter otherwise.

Nov 1, 2008 Full-bodied bear with a malted coffee flavor. The smokiness is not overbearing, but instead brings character to the porter. Very drinkable.
