From the pump at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours black with sparse brownish foam, very fine and sticky. Aroma is roasted, sweet like caramel and bourbon, a little bit of a chewing gum feeling, and vanilla. Body is dense, worth moderate carbonation. Taste is sweet at first, them quite some bitterness pops up. Finish is long, bitter and toasted.

Bomber from Taps, Summerville, SC. Pours a dark brown color with a medium sized creamy brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of strong bourbon, some roasted malts, chocolate and nuts. The taste is bourbon, roasted malts, coffee, nuts, dark fruits, hops. Fairy bitter. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. Solid beer.

22 oz. bottle, sent from TURDFERGUSON (thanks a lot, Sam), pours black with a small tan head. Aroma of moderate bourbon, vanilla, molasses, and almost a peanut butter note to it. Flavour is fairly light for a BBA stout, with the peanut butter notes, molasses, and vanilla. Quite light-bodied and watery for the style, with a fairly thin palate - body isn't very robust. Finishes on notes of vanilla and toasted nuts. Decent stuff.

Bottle. Pours black with tan head. Nose/taste of roast chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, toasted oatmeal, milk chocolate and toffee. Nose is rich. Taste is a bit disappointing with mostly lightly toasted oatmeal, milk chocolate, oak and a red vinous note that seems out of place. Body is a little thin.
