Had this at the Brew’s Best Beer Fest on my trip to Vegas, fall 2011. Pours a dark brown with not much of a head. Caramel, coffee and chocolate aromas. Wet mouthfeel that is medium-bodied. Watery taste that is milder than the smell. Notes of chocolate, coffee and roasted malts. Refreshing for a porter and easy drinking.

Sampled at the DC Ratebeer Gathering. Pours a watery, opaque black with a thin, spitty, off white head. Plenty of vanilla in the nose, brown sugar, molasses, some pumpernickel bread, a little malt. Flavor is sweet, vanilla beans, molasses, brown sugar, cakey, light coffee. Medium bodied, sweet finish.

Sample at the Jackie O’s Bottle Sale on 08/27/2011. This beer pours brownish black with a hint of amber around the edges. Medium tan head that recedes steadily. Aroma of roasted malt and slightly sour coffee. Medium body with a roasty character and notes of malt, coffee and tannins. The finish is malty with a short fruity aftertaste. Something seems off with this one, barely average overall.

Bomber from BevMo online (Pleasanton). Nose is rich chocolate, with roasty coffee hints mixed with moderate vanilla. Black with a medium cinnamon tan head that laces lightly as it recedes. Flavor is chocolate with light vanilla with coffee and light bitterness in the finish.

On tap. Pours with a black body with a small but lasting tan head with good lace. Aroma is very candy like, sugary cereal, cocoa, sweet chocolate, vanilla, cereal grains, brown sugar, swiss miss. Very sweet. Too sweet on the flavor. Molasses, cocoa, brown sugar, roast, chocolate, vanilla, a touch vegital and cereal. Medium bubbles and medium bodied. While tasty in a few ounces, more than a 12ozs would be a major challenge!

Bomber from the Natomas BevMo. Pours very dark brown with a transient creamy tan head. Aromas of vanilla and chocolate. Med body. I think there’s underlying diacetyl. Seems buttery to me. Other than that it’s coffee and vanilla. Then a touch of chocolate in the finish. The buttery aspect is putting me off a bit.
