aceofhearts (1374), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 15, 2003 Bottle. Opaque black, big tan head. Some yummy cherries/strawberries in the aroma and flavor. Rich chocolate, thick mouthfeel. Calorie-riffic. An excellent example of the style, I'm surprised it isn't rated higher. mikeben (336), Naperville, Illinois, USA Mar 1, 2003 Updated: Aug 10, 2003I would say this semi sweet and creamy beer is as good Very high quality.Not my favorite style though.It also has a bit too much fizz. noelcb (271), Toledo, Ohio, USA May 24, 2006 Near black, bubbly thick tan head recedes slowly, but leaves no lace. Aromas are chocolate, orange, molasses, smoke, yeast and alcohol. Flavor is intense and concentrated -- very strong dark roasted malt, herbal and bitter hops, astringent and tangy grapefruit and citrus, dark chocolate, espresso, yeast and charcoal. Mouthfeel fine for the style. Louipa (121), USA Dec 10, 2006 I’m gonna have to disagree with a number of people here. I liked this beer alot. It wasn’t as thick as most Imps but to me it was kinda like Victory Storm King lite, if there was such a thing. I found it easy to drink and it smelled like raisins. I was eating some pretzels and drank a whole 22oz pretty quick. DYCSoccer17 (2054), Davis, California, USA May 16, 2006 Bomber purchased at Julio’s in Westboro, Mass. Lot 36 (if that means anything). Sweet chocolate milky aroma. Very sweet. I can see a lot of people might not like this sweet, milky aroma, but I LOVE IT. No alcohol or hops present in the nose, though. Opaque, nearly black color with a medium brown head that dissipates a little too quickly. A little sweet chocolate to start, turning a bit roastier with some coffee flavors in the middle. A little bit lacking to finish, but alcohol does not kill this and the mouthfeel is nice and inky and oily. I think this is a lot better than what it is rated, yet my tastes are different than most, I suppose.
