Jan 27, 2010 . Nose of chocolate and roasted coffee, roast, mild boozy bourbon, slight oak and raisin. A great nose. Tastes of chocolate and coffee, mild roast, a great dose of bitter, some coffee and vanilla. Thick and viscous

Jan 7, 2010 Bottle from a trade (don’t remember from who, sorry). Dark black pour with minimal carbonation. Aroma of boozy chocolate and soy sauce. Flavor is initially roasted smokey malts, then rich chocolate, espresso and again more soy sauce on the aftertaste. I really wanted to like this one more, but the aftertaste was just a little too off the mark for me.

Dec 29, 2009 Bomber shared by BOLTZ7555 at the AZ Black Friday tasting – thanks Jason! Pours almost black with almost no head. The nose is charred malt, ashy cocoa and alcohol. The taste is coffee, char, cocoa and light hops. Medium bodied. Not bad at all.

Dec 26, 2009 Just not a fan of this...sampled @ the Black Friday tasting. Brought this one but wish it was better. Tons of coffee but not much else. This had a bit of cocoa, hint of caramel, and a tint of honey. Lighter than expected...

Dec 23, 2009 Thanks to TODD for opening this! Poured black with a tall, dense cap of tan head. The aroma picked up charred black patent and coffee maltage with some airy, nutty character around.. deeper down was a blend of sweet and darker chocolates. The flavor found roasted coffee and cocoa at the core surrounded by a large dose of floral and catty bitterness (along with some coffee char).. a touch buttery on the back.. grainy and bitter on the finish. Medium-plus bodied with low-ish carbonation on the palate.. well-roasted.. good stuff!

Dec 14, 2009 Thanks Todd. The beer pours to a pitch black body with a really tall creamy brown head. The aroma is super roasty and full of black patent with lots of hops. The flavor is charred black patent with a heavy yeast and hoppy bitterness. I didn’t really get any bourbon. The palate is medium full bodied but a little too yeasty. Coffee was good.

Dec 7, 2009 Sampled from a bottle opened by boltz777 -- thanks, Jason! Pours espresso in color with a trim tan head. Smells predominantly of toasted malt and coffee grounds. Builds on these flavors with added notes of milk cocoa, and vanilla. Really sweet on the palate and quickly dries on the finish. Not bad, but certainly not ambitious.
