Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours dk blk/brn with a slight tan head. Aoma is near bacon smoke with very dark malt. Full bodied. Flavor is dirty smoke, dark treacle (but not a lot), and some coffee. Nice, tasty ale.

Thanks to Craft Shack for this bottle.
Pitch black the colour is, 2 finger head of tan, lacing...fine it tis.
Deeply malty, a mix of caramel and milk chocolate. Smoke? Sure is light in the nose.
Wow. The 2 malty tastes I get in the smell are greeted by a healthy smokey flavour that blends SO well with the malt both sweet and roasted. Some of that chocolate must be dark as I get some bitter notes in the finish and the long lasting aftertaste.
Medium body, ditto for the co2.
This is delicious. I see it is 56 IBUs, that explains the bitterness. The 8.4% abv is hidden rather well.

Bottle. Pours opaque black with a medium creamy brown head that dissipates slowly and laces well. Aroma is roasted malts, smoky. Flavor is heavy roasted malt, campfire, molasses. Light sweet and medium bitter, minor acidity. Fullish body, creamy mouthfeel. Lingering heavy bitter finish.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance well, let’s just say no matter how many times I poured it, there was barely any head, but it pours a superbly jet black color and leaves no lacing whatsoever in the wake of the head dieing.
The smell had a mostly roasty through some molasses, vanilla, coffee, milk chocolate, raisins and prunes through a smokey yet roasty sort of feel.
The taste had a roasty yet smokey sort of meaty vanilla coffee yet also I do get that slight milk chocolate with the raisins in the background \"well, holy crap, Amen\" if that isn’t a complexity, well, I don’t know what is; there’s actually just a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium, not really sessionable - sipper. Carbonation seems to be somewhat smooth but not too much.
Overall, good Double Stout for the most part that I think I would have again.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a medium tan / brown head. Nose brings out light smoke, oxidation, vegetal notes and cocoa - not very pleasant. Flavour is light on the smoke, with notes of chocolate, vegetal notes, and oxidation. Not very elegant at all, with some off-notes. Not good.
