Bomber courtesy of gnashville, shared at a Dark Beer tasting in Osaka. Pitch black with a solid light beige head the leaves a bit of lacing behind. Bourbon heat and maple in the nose. Tangy oaky woodsiness, bourbon, a bit of fruits with maple in the finish. Medium-thin bodied with quite a smooth texture. Man after warming up this has the most wonderful velvety luscious mouthfeel and the flavor stepped up to the next level. My favorite of the night perfect for sipping as it really opens up and evolves over time.

Bottle thanks to Ferris and Vertbaconstrips. Pours very dark brown with mocha brown head. Nose and taste of bourbon, oak, vanilla, burnt maple syrup, roast chocolate, brown sugar and alcohol soaked brownie. A touch much on the sweet side. Medium body.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of sweet residual sugar notes with some black chocolate notes with some bourbon, wood and some vanilla notes. Taste is also dominated by black chocolates notes with some bourbon and some wood notes and vanilla. Body is quite full with good carbonation and some warming alcohol notes. Good beer but a bit too much residual sugar for my taste.

Draft - Oak, vanilla and chocolate malts. Jet black with a thick brown head. Liquorice, vanilla, oak and coffee. Nice and rich, could use some age but still nice now. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Initial tasting - March 2013: 650 ml bottle. Pours black with full tan head. Definite bourbon aroma with sweet sugary chocolate notes and a background of roasted malts. Medium-ish body. Lighter in flavor than expected; sweetened coffee, nuts/nougat, roasted malt, and bourbon. Definite alcohol warmth. Still, quite good, as one would expect from Parallel 49 and Gigantic. Worth putting a few down to see what happens. Second tasting - February 2015: 650 ml bottle. Pours black with moderate dark tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of licorice and light bourbon along with dark sugar. Flavors of chocolate and maple syrup, coffee, nuts, sweet malts, and light bourbon. Still very similar to the original tasting- still a light mouthfeel but maybe a little less alcohol warmth.

On cask at the Alibi Room, pours an amber tinged black with a fairly large tan head. Aroma of maple syrup, bourbon barrels, caramel malts and dried dark fruits. Flavour brings out maple syrup and bourbon upfront, in perfect complement, without much heat from the booze or any cloying sweetness from the maple. There are secondary notes of dried dark fruits and caramel malts. Finishes on light notes of bourbon and dried fruits (figs and dates). Full-bodied and very complex. Delicious stuff - one of the better BC beers to date.
