On tap at Boise Front Door. Pours out black with a little red. Topped with a nice tan head. A very good aroma of roast and a little smoke. Tast of more roast some brown sugar. A touch of bitter dark chocolate. Not to bad. I was thinking it was going to be a little thicker.

Bomber. One hoppy aroma backed by burnt and toasted malt. Could be some chocolate and medium dark fruit. Complex. Opaque brown/black color with only a couple of bubbles for head. Full bodied with an oily texture. Extremely mild, creamy carbonation. The flavor is hop citric over really darkly roasted malt. Plus fruit, chocolate, and coffee as it finishes. Plus I think there’s resin in this hop mix. It’s not really all that bitter, just really smooth. Course it really is bitter. Must be fairly well balanced. An experience not to be missed.

Bottled (Thanks omhper). Opaque black colour with small brown head. Aroma is roast, alcohol, fruits, yeast and hops. Flavour is very much the same with some mild vanilla, old coffee and salted licorice. Rather out of balance for my taste with all the sweetish sour stuff mixed into it.

Bottled. Extremely black, rich firm beige head. Lots of salty licorice up front. Sweet and soft, yet very powerful. Espresso meets tobacco, but salt licorice dominates. Aniseed and alcohol combines to a pleasant ouzo flavour. Citric hops chime in and gives it a real bite in the bitterness. I really like it!

Bottle Deep dark black with a coarse spotty tan head. Roasted and dark leather. Eaethen and coffee notes as well. Flavor is roasted and coffee. Quite strong bitterness and the body is a bit thin. Carbonation a soft. Hoping for a bit more from a local outfit. Named aftet a pestacide....I was forewarned. Thanks Jordan for sharing.

Yet another extra from footy (you rule, man!) - fizzy black beer, with a small ring of tan lace - aroma of wet ash, tobacco, leather - fairly high carbonation in the mouth - flavors of spent coffee grounds, tobacco, burnt brown sugar - rather high bitterness - ashy finish, with strong alcohol - a beer for people that eat steak at every meal and chew on cigars all day long - not my thing so much.

Bomber from cbkschubert last year; Nose of chocolate, roasty smokiness, and light hopiness; opaque black with a virtually non exsistant head; flavor is bittersweet chocolate, licorise, and slight hop bitterness and alcohol lasting to the finish. Interesting but not great!

The aroma has tons of hops, it reminds me of Surly Darkness. A black, thick beer. Flavor has sweet malt and roasted meat. I really liked this.

RBSG07. From bottle. Pours balck with a chocolate brown head. Aroma is VERY surprisingly hoppy in a orange fruity way with a malt sweetness beneath. Very nice. Flavour is sweet as first but goes very dry in an instant, after the first sip the sweetness starts to stick. Ending very dry malty and strong bitter hops, still slight floral.
