Bottle, from Julio’s. Good aroma, sweet. Cocoa, Milk Chocolate, Roasted malt, Paper. Clean orangy brown color. Small head that quickly faded to nothing, no lacing. Bitter sweet flavor. good roasty chocolate mix. Bit smoky. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Bitter dry finish. Tasty, flavor was best part. aroma didn;t open up the way I though and I thought was better cold. Still A good one to have

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.
