checkmatei1 (629), Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA May 5, 2008 bottle: Poured a dark brown color. The aroma was cloves, pepper, citrus and maybe some basil.

Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Feb 16, 2008 Jan. 2007 - Beer poured dark brown, chocolate aroma with HUGE head...it took 10 minutes to split the bomber into two glasses. Big pillowy head that left a nice foam even until the last foamy sip. Nice lacing. About as good as it gets. Rich full roasty flavor with chocolate and milky/lactic hints at the end. Some bitterness from hops. Very tasty.
