Bottle at home @ ZZT 2024. Opaque black color, virtually no head. Aroma and flavor are malts, light ash, soft roast, roasted bitters. Hm don't get any barrels or anything. Hmm okay but not great. 8-7-7-8-7,5

16 oz. can, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma is rich, with rye barrels, oats, whiskey, and medium roast. Flavour is rich, with lots of oats, rye whiskey, roasted malt, and some bitter cocoa nibs. Chewy and rich, without much sweetness; great depth, and high drinkability for the high ABV. Excellent.

Bomber from Tavour. Dark brown pour with a wispy beige head. Aroma is chocolaty, woody, latent rye whiskey notes. Taste is mildly sweet, plum, chocolate, smoky, barrel, roasty. Finishes a bit dry. Not overly boozy.

Bomber from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma of rye spice and toasted/not burnt malt. More than full bodied. Flavor is the aroma with some hints of darkish fruit. Rye is quite discernible. :) Not dry, but not sticky (well almost not). Bitter enough to stave off the malt. Exquisite flavor.
