650 thanks to Jeremy. Pours a dark brown color with a deep brown head. The aroma was coffee and roast some tart cherry. The flavor had certain notes of sourness, coffee, light barrel, some heat, a bit of lingering sour coffee. I get that this is off but it was decent.

22oz bottle pours an oily, opaque black with some thin, brown head. Nose is chocolate covered expresso beans, a little blueberry, vinous. Flavor is odd, acetic, cherry, grape juice, watered down, balsamic, some stale coffee. Medium bodied, astringent finish.

Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours brown/black with a slight bubbly dark tan head. Aroma of very dark chocolate and bourbon/coconut. Full bodied. Flavor is extremely dark chocolate - tho smoot - with bourbon/vanilla/coconut - but there’s a persistent sour aspect. Maybe it’s excessive oak. I think coffee is present, but hard to be sure. The sour aspect tends towards plum/prune. This is pretty complicated stuff, and it’s definitely not simple flavors. With time the sour submerges into the other flavors. Very different. Halfway thru the bomber: Now aroma and flavor have a lot of coffee. This stuff seems to change with time.

Bottle. Black beer with a low brown head. Coffee and bourbon aroma. Coffee and bourbon flavor with malt and light vanilla. Medium-plus bodied. Coffee and light frutiiness lingers with bourbon and light vanilla. Only a slight infection noted unlike some other bottles.

Sampled on tap at SIB, pours black with a tan head. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, coconut and sweet chocolate. Flavour brings out the bourbon barrels, followed by vanilla, oak and chocolate. Delicious concoction.
