Bomber from Monument in Concord, CA. Pours dark brn/blk with a huge dark tan head that seemed foamy, but settled into something more like creamy. Aroma is chocolate and smooth dark malt. It’s almost like there’s a bourbon note. Very, very full in body. Flavor is dark earthy chocolate, something suggesting anise, and a very dark malt. It starts malty and ends up dry. It is bitter like dark chocolate, and the “anise” note helps that along. This is really, really tasty ale.
