Bomber, split with a few RBers. 4 ounce pour in stemware at cellar temp.
A - Pitch black, this is a thick oily black.
S - The aroma is huge. Chocolate and espresso bean and vanilla. It’s huge.
T - This is just straight up coffee.....so much coffee and espresso bean and vanilla and maybe even some cinnamon. Roasted notes start quickly and linger for a while. There’s sweetness in the middle and finish.
M - Dense, thick, low bitterness and low carbonation.
O - This is fantastic. If you love coffee, grab a bottle.

Crowler @ CCB, split with Meadme. Couleur noire huile de moteur, col léger moka. Arôme au bouquet puissant faisant le plein de malt, café et grillé. Palais est épais et met bien en avant les 11%. Plein de café, grillé pointe chocolatée, épais et liquoreux. Pas mal de sucre presque de mélasse résiduelle avec un café qui est un peu surfait.

Somewhere between a 2 and 4oz draft pour at SAVOR 2015’s Saturday night session. Poured a black-brown color with a pretty small dark tan head. Aroma is tons of roasted malts, lots of coffee, vanilla. Woody roasted notes, smooth booze, vanilla, roast and chocolate.

Growler shared at The Bruery - big thanks to Sam! Pours oily, black-brown with a thick, brown foam head. Heavy coffee on the nose with secondary notes of dark chocolate and tangy wood. Medium sweet flavor with more dense coffee, chocolate syrup, bittersweet baking cocoa, chocolate cake. Full bodied with fine carbonation and chewy texture. Rich dark chocolate character to finish with more hefty coffee, dirt and chocolate cake. Robust and decadent but still balanced and exceedingly tasty.

Growler with huge thanks! Pours opaque black with a deep brown creamy head and nice lacing. Aroma is coffee, roasty, anise, molasses, cocoa, tobacco. Flavor is the same, light to medium sweet, medium bitter, nowhere near as sweet as other CCB impys. Full body, creamy mouthfeel, which is typical of CCB impys. Wonderful beer.
