Pours a very dark brown from a bottle. Aroma is an interesting chocolate/raw tobacco, flavor is similar, sweet. Didn't notice any chile. Pretty good beer.

Really had higher hopes for this as the description in the bottle sound so much better. But the aroma and flavor barely have any of the qualities described. Body is a touch on the thin side though everything is fairly well balanced and alcohol is very well hidden. Just kind of a ho hum beer.

Draft at Great Basin, Reno. Deep brown pour with a persistent beige head. Aroma is really quite fantastic. Subtle smokiness to go with the hint of chilies, dark chocolate, and vanilla. I’d swear there was espresso used here as well. The flavor is a balance of the roast, dark chocolate and vanilla. Light smoky presence and light heat from the chilies. The chilies are definitely not overpowering, so don’t be afraid. This was one of my favorites of my visit to GB.

2016 Bomber from Tavour. Nose is chocolate, vanilla, and hint of tobacco. Flavor is light chili peppers, chocolate, and vanilla. Nice because they went light on the peppers and didn’t overpower the other flavors. Brownish red with a medium lightly lacing beige head.
