Oct 21, 2008 Thin brown pour with a minimal head and flavors of chocolate and dried fruit. I am very entertained by the fact that black eyed peas were used in the brewing and wish I’d tasted them in the mix. Not Victory’s best but still a solid brew.

Oct 20, 2008 Dark brown in colour with a very thin and quick to dissipate tan coloure head, no lacing. Looks very much like Coke. The aroma is sweet, some coffee, burnt, some chocolate, light smoke. The flavour is lightly sweet, some burnt malts, lightly bitter but for the most part a bit on the watery side. Thin mouthfeel, medium/light body, medium carbonation. Finishes thin, alcoholic, roasty.
Not anywhere near what I expected. The thin and watery body where a huge surprise. I grew tired of this one very fast.

Oct 5, 2008 Bomber. Dark brown body, light beige head. Sweet malt, coffee, caramel, and chocolate aroma. Could actually taste the black eyed peas in this but not in a bad way. Malt was obviously predominant, along with cereal, chocolate, coffee, caramel, slightly fruity. Actually finished rather sweet and not too dry despite the abv. Really good.

Oct 5, 2008 Dark brown pour with amber highlights and a creamy tan head. Roasty malt, coffee, chocolate and dark fruit in the aroma and flavor. A little thin on the palate, but very tasty and highly drinkable. A touch of hops on the otherwise slightly sweet finish. Very good!

Oct 4, 2008 Smells of coffee, aniseed, and sweets. Pours black with a thin mocha head. Rich roasted flavor with notes of dried fruits. It is quite delicious.

Oct 1, 2008 22oz bomber: This one pours an opaque dark brown. there was a decent tan head on it, but it dropped away rather quickly. It leaves no lacing. Really rich aroma. Chocolate and maple are predominate. The taste is quite complex. Hints of chocolate, roastiness, coffee, some dark fruits. There are some hops in there that balance out the sweetness nicely. This is a really good brew.
