Bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brn/blk with a dark foamy tan head. Aroma of toasted malt and chocolate. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is burnt malt, chocolate and arguably some sort of flour. Clearly not Graham flour. Heat is noticeable. It's nice, but I'm not sure that it's chocolate chip cookie. :)

32oz crowler pours with a mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up chocolate notes and a sense of sweetness before mild levels of booze are noticed. The taste delivers malt sweetened and blunted dark roasted malts quickly flowing into more sweetness and chocolate like notes. To midway it picks up a murmur of vague vanilla along with a modest degree of booziness. This drinks pretty good but could use more presence from the beer flavours to compete with the treatment.
