Bomber from Boise Co-op. Near black pour capped with a silky layer of brown foam. Big chocolaty, fudgy aroma with a nice booziness that tickles your nose hairs. Taste is sweet and roasty, minor notes of coffee, dark chocolate and a hint of the bourbon barrel. Creamy mouthfeel with some latent warmth.

Hey, there are not a lot of bomber bottles being sold out there, and this is about the same price at Trader Joe's that Lagunitas bombers used to be. Pours black with a bit of brown, under a foamy tan head. Nice roasty coffee nose. Keeping in mind this is aged in charred oak, not a bourbon barrel. But the taste does have a bit of bourbon character. But then the stronger impression of stout roasted malt comes in. Turns out to be kind of a dry stout. End result is actually pretty nice. Alcohol building in slowly.

22 ounce bottle from Trader Joe’s in Princeton, NJ. Jet black pour has a dark tan head that settles to a creamy ring. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and charred oak. Flavor is sweet roasted malt, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, dark dried fruit. Some oakiness and warming alcohol. Decent flavor.

A no-brainer purchase of a bomber last spring at the Trader Joe's off North Central Expressway in Dallas because it was less than $10. Seemed like old times, a big bottle at a good price. I have a snifter from a Ft. Worth brewery in place for the pour, the chocolate scent is immediately noticeable along with vanilla and dark berries. The color is a dark brown, almost black with a sparse ring of tan, very fine bubbles. A drink now, yes, this a value purchase. Plenty of chocolate, coffee, some roastiness, vanilla, malt and wood. I would have liked a more substantial sensation, a shame to produce a decent beer like this and not have it. I call this a pleasant surprise in any case.

Bottle thanks to Hiromi. Pours a almost pitch black hue with a small beige head. A light nose of anise and some bourbon. Sweet dark chocolates, more anise, sweet vanilla and bourbon. Very thin palate. Not bad at all.

Bottle shared by Andrew, thanks! Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a nice bourbon and dark grains with light roast and a hint of chocolate. Flavor has earthy dark grains and roast with a touch of bourbon supporting.

Bomber from Trader Joe's. If you pay more than 6 Bucks for a beer in Trader Joe's it should be good, well this wasn't that good. Black pour, no head, Laguna Hills on 3rd January 2023. I had to have a couple of Dutch Stroopwafel's with tinned squirty cream to help me drink the bottle. Very unimpressed, some malty chocolate and coffee hints but lacked oomph and depth.
