Bottle. Pours with a black hued body with a tan head that leaves good lace. Aromas are of prunes, dark fruit, lightly floral hop, chocolate, roast, ash, and a bit of a nutty malt character. Flavors are astringent, massive black malt roast character, nutty, chocolate, dark fruit. Quite bitter. Roast flavor is a bit one dimensional and over bearing. Lively carbonation, medium body and sweetness. Not my favorite beer from these guys.

Bomber shared by Marcus. Pours very dark brown/black with a transient tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate over smooth dark malt. Full bodied. Flavor has some dark fruit, some earthiness, chocolate, smooth dark roast malt, and it lacks coffee. Flavors are strong. It finishes towards dark. Very unique. Complex even.

On tap. Pours with a hazed, deep golden hued body with a lasting off-white head. Aromas are quite pungent, hoppy, spicy, dank, CTZ like, medium caramel, a hint of diacetyl like butterscotch. Aroma is mostly hops though, weed, strong, fresh, grassy. Flavors are hoppy, citrusy, dank, lightly bitter, floral and tropical fruit. Lively carbonation, fuller bodied, warming. Quite a bit sweeter than I would like, but nice and fresh hop character.
