Dean’s Beans coffee Porter that is! Bomber with many thanks to RCL, thanks Ray! Fermented in the bottle and unfiltered. Creamy brown gunky stuff on the bottom of this bottle makes for a swirling hypnotizing pour. Cold black coffee smell, decent creamy carbonation. Black coffee taste that is reminiscent of Founders Breakfast. On the label it says ’natural flavors added’ this makes me a bit nervous. Bitter just like black coffee, but with a kick. Certainly comes across as being very fresh! Mild to medium bitter black coffee finish. A true black coffee experience.

Thank you RCL for such a cool trade! 22 oz bomber pours a big black mug of visual pleasure. Has a thin annulus of chocolate mousse for an inside girdle. Gorgeous chocolate laced roasty olfactory. First bite is acceptable carbonation. Dark chewy roasted flavors. Big, bitter and burned but not over the top like an imperial stout. Croons porter, porter, porter; go ahead and taste me. An interestingly dark brew. Old wet campfire. Lovely example of a fresh dark beer that was properly bottled. Oppressive to the tongue yet enjoyable. 22 oz of this and yer whacked out next to the campfire coals. Borders on Baltic porter flavour.

Bomber from Alldaydrinker! Very simply a much lighter version of the AS BA Wee Haevy we rated right before it! Nose of caramel, oak, and light bourbon; hazy medium brown with a small off-white head; Flavor of caramel, vanilla, and a very light banana ester, raisins, and bourbony oak.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with notes of roasted malt, as well as lighter notes of vegetables and ginger. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of roasted malt, lending it a slight acidity and hints of bourbon. The alcohol burns in the throat.

Pours deep black into an English pint. Tan micro head with good retention slowly subsides with little lacing. Sour malt and coffee aromas. Thin with sour malt upfront filling out for a lasting espresso finish.

Poured a thick, opaque black with a think slightly off white head. Smells of chocolate, malts, dark fruits like plums and red grapes. Flavor is really sour for an Imperial Stout, sour like tart cherries and grapes. None of the primary flavors are that of a traditional imperial stout. Finish is sweet with residual sugar, almost like a glass of Reisling. Not your usual imperial stout and origionality did not make up for lack of a discernable flavor.

(Bottle 65 cl) Pours a dark, opaque, orangey brown with a light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt. Medium body with lightly sweet, roasted malt, some fruit and some chocolate. Very subdued bitterness. Sort of an Impy Lite. 270607

Hurray bomber under four bucks! - boo crappy beer inside! - I wanted something light and refreshing, but not like this - cloudy yellow pour with no head - faint aroma of herbs and lemon-scented hand soap - tart flavor, with lemon dominating, along with some background grain/malt flavor - there is really nothing else happening - tastes like sparkling water with a wedge of lemon thrown into it - down the drain with this - good thing I bought another beer for tonight.

Very dark black with a thin off white head. Malty aroma, flavor of roasted malt and nuts. Nice beer, but not amazing.
