Bomber thanks to Dallas and Bonnie. Pours a mostly clear brown color with a medium brown head. A light nose of smoke and roast. The flavor is light coffee, ash, some roast, very dry, caramel. Quite nice. Very mellow and drinkable. Great flavor for a low ABV.

4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Hopped_Silly (236) - California, USA - APR 17, 2013
Bottle poured into a Guinness glass. While this beer is not the thickest, dense, most concentrated stout... Though this is certainly still full of tons of classic stout aromas and flavors!!! Layers of roasted grain, savory umami, mild soy, mild coffee and tons of bitter-sweet coco power. Lighter bodied and dry, with low carbonation and good mouthfeel. Low alcohol actually makes this a great sessionable stout!! Very easy to drink and enjoy. Pretty darn good if your not stuck on thick, over-the-top stouts. Even well priced.. No wonder this has received so many awards in the past decade. Long lingering finish, without the alcohol kick. I think true beer connoisseurs will appreciate this beer's lighter weight and lower alcohol, without the lack of flavor or length. Well made. Cannot be compared or judged against thick, monster stouts. There is a sort of give and take with what this beer offers.. Sessionable with TONS of flavor. Great combo!

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 joeneugs (2143) - Livermore, California, USA - JUL 1, 2012
On tap at Whole Foods Coddingtown. I was only going to get a sample of this, but after tasting it I ordered a half sized pour. It really is a pretty great dry stout, although I’m pretty sure the beer board listed it as 6% ABV. Batch variation? If so, I’m sure this beer tastes different from the 4.6 version. It pours dark brown/black with a small tan head. The aroma is full of rich chocolate and coffee. Mildly floral. The flavor is the same beautiful roast with dark chocolate, coffee, little floral hops before a roasted finish. Medium bodied and really good! The floral hops and potent roast make a great combo.

Black with little head. Port and roasted malt aroma. Drinking the cask version so its silky smooth in texture. Tasting some caramel and fudge with a soft hoppy profile.
