Bottle. Coffee malt, orange, and grapefruit peel/pine hops aroma - tough to put a finger on - seems to change with each sniff. Opaque brown with large tan head. Sweet dark chocolate/coffee malt and pine hops flavor. Light ash and black pepper finish. Excellent blending. Great beer.

Bomber from Bruisin’ Ales. Pours dark brown with a 3 finger creamy/foamy tan head. Aroma is roast malt, tingling hop and chocolate in that order. About med body. Flavor is bitter burnt malt, chocolate and floral/citrus/earthy hop in that order. It’s doing a bit of ring lacing, and the hop stands out firmly in the finish. Very nice.

Pours a very dark chestnut brown - deep garnet highlights. Tall, long lasting, sticky light tan head. Light roast malt aroma. The flavor is light roast malt, dry dusty palate. This is ok, but i’d rather have either the IPA or the Stout or Porter. Black IPA still seeks it’s niche.
