Bottle. Pours a dark brown with small beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is blackberry, currant, dark fruit. Slick body, currant, berry, light cocoa, dry finish, very good.

Bomber at 8% from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours brn/blk with a ferocious foamy tan head. Aroma of dark berry with some smooth dark malt. Med plus body. Flavor starts with a chocolate/berry mix that becomes more chocolate, and then some very dark slightly burnt malt, and then arguably wood. It starts undry, but the finish is like woody astringent with chocolate and berry. Overall it's somewhat malty, but it's definitely on the side of being berry dry. Nice stuff.

Very impressive looking bottle. Bomber. Pours a dark brown color with a small brown head. A big cocoa and berries nose. Huge tart berry, chocolates, cocoa. As I assumed, the berries dominate heavily. Really drown out the Tsunami Stout. The base must be much bigger to handle that amount of berries if you want this to remain a stout. Still, good.
