Sampled from the tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours near black with a brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has bitter dark grains and roasted malts with a bit of smoke and birch notes supporting. Flavor is bitter dark grain forward as well with roast, smoke and a touch of birch coming through.

I have a 22 oz bottle of 35th Anniversary Ale that I acquired a few months ago at Mr. T's locally. The weather is amenable towards a sampling of an imperial stout. My tastings tonight will be with an ABGB tulip glass taken out of the inventory. I observe a brown-black body completed by a head of tawny brown foam. The nose is tobacco, chocolate and earth. And the taste starts with some ash, then dark chocolate, a bit of sweetness from the honey I assume, malt, an amount of hoppiness and wood. Rather bitter. Not bad but not rocking my world.

Bomber. Aroma has notes of bourbon, dark bread, vanilla, syrup, licorice. Pours very dark brown with a thin beige head that falls into a ring quickly. Taste is lightly sweet and moderately bitter with flavors like the aroma. Tastes mostly like a straight impy stout with the adjuncts mostly in the background.

Bomber, 5/21/22. Dark brown, thin frothy brown head, fair retention. Aroma of cherry, cocoa, roast, cola, floral notes. Taste is roast, chocolate, sunflower, floral notes, leather. A bit chewy, booze well hidden. Tad bit thin for the style. Lingering bitterness. Very nice.

On tap at BitterCreek Boise. Dark brown near black pour with a ring of fine tan bubbles Big bitter sharp roast character ash and dark roast with a deep piney hop bite. Not particularly heavy or full bodied. Fresh and a little “hot” maybe.

Bottle from Mid Columbia. Very dark brown, near black pour with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and roasty, fairly mild. Tastes mostly of roasted malt, a little cocoa, and the floral earthy sweetness from the birch syrup or honey. Unfortunately the adjuncts come as a distraction to an otherwise non-descript stout. Just OK.
