From the Bottle at Chris O’s, GBBF Week 09/08/2008
Some roast aroma. Dark coloured smooth on the palate and a little fruity with a hint of dryness in a crisp full burnt roast finish.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma of coffee and burnt barley. Very dark looking beer, head is a little thin though. Tastes like burnt wood, beans, coffee, barley. Quite bitter aftertaste. I’m not totally familiar with the style but it could use just a little more complexity.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle at a friend’s BBQ a year or so back. Dark brown with a beige head. The best rendition in the Bombadier range by far. Roasty malts with plenty of chocolate and liquorice. Enough hops in the finish too.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From the bottle it pours with a creamy-frothy light brown head and almost black in colour. Aroma of chocolate, coffee and resinous hops. Tastes of dried fruits and spices and a subtle burnt aftertaste with a slight spicy warmth.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Asda, May 2008. Wasn’t expecting too much but this turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. Very dark. Nice condition - not too fizzy for a carbonated beer. Smoky, burnt, roasty aroma. Firm mouthfeel. Plenty of chocolate and a smattering of hops on the palate with some licorice twists. Yes, I rather liked this.
