Bottle thanks to Beerman6686. Pours very dark brown/almost black with tan head. Nose and taste of burnt chocolate, smoke, burnt coffee, ashy chocolate and vanilla. Medium body. Not the best imperial stout I’ve had but it works for some reason.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours dark brown/black with a foamy tan head. Main aroma is chocolate but there is detectable burnt malt. Med body or better. It’s quite bitter. Probably from hop, but with the chocolate it’s much like baking chocolate. Rather unique IS.

Bomber in large tulip. This beer’s flavor is made up of watery bitter dark malts and bitter hops. No real flavor, no fun to drink.

Pour is a black with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of chocolate malts, burnt brown sugar and coffee. Flavor is nice as well. Heavy roasted malt followed some caramel. No alcohol burn at all. This brewer has put out a few below par offerings but this is really solid.

22oz bomber from Pick’s poured into a snifter. Pours black with almost 3 fingers of dark tan head. Aroma is strongly milk chocolate with a little bit of caramel and some sprucy hops. Taste is medium bitter. Lots of dark coffee with chocolate and spruce. Medium bodied with a somewhat oily yet thick texture. Lively carbonation and a very long, very bitter finish. Overall, I’m really digging this beer. Probably the best beer offered from Cathedral Square.
