22 oz. bomber poured into stout glass

L: black with 1/3-inch-plus tan head ... darker tan for the head, which laces well; it really is dang near black with only the very edges/bottom showing amber when held up to light

S: massive chocolate

T: booze ... and lots of it. chocolate and coffee notes but almost masked by an alcohol presence that comes off as dark red wine at times, as vodka at others.

F: solid all around

O: fantastic taste notes, a good nose and great show, but so much alcohol that it's too much. there is nothing hidden about the booze in this one. a fine brew if you like boozy beers. for me, the bomber is too much -- a 12 oz. bottle would be a better fit.
