Bomber courtesy of queenholly. Thanks! Pours a dark chocolate brown color with a monstrous fizzy brown head. Average head retention. Tart aroma with notes of smoke, nuts, chocolate, earth, stone fruits and a bit of plastic. The taste is chocolate, nuts, herbal notes, mild smoke and a tart finish. Medium bodied. Seems just a tad bit off, but not bad.

Thanks to Norm for this one. It pours out with a nice and dark body that supports a thin mocha colored head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts, coffee, malt balls and a bit of black licorice. The taste feels somewhat thin and delivers some dark roasted malts, burnt malts and a bit of plastic. Toward the finish it picks up addition levels of dark roasted malts that leaves a pleasing after taste in the mouth.

22oz bomber split at DC tasting. Infected gusher, but the flavor is still OK to me. Cocoa chocolate, smoky aroma. Gushing thick rusty beige head. Maybe its not infected? Meaty brown chocolate. Some astringent mineral tones. OK, I guess.
