look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

Bomber bottle poured into Gulden Draak tulip glass

Appearance- Black with an off white pillowy cloud like head. It dissipates into a thin layer that leaves decent lacing.

Smell- Chocolate with that European beer scent.

Taste- Pretty much follows the nose. You get chocolate with that German/European beer flavor.

Mouthfeel- Medium to heavy with a watery and overcarbonated feel. Kind of weird.

Overall- It's an okay beer but nothing I would seek out.

Pours very dark brown, almost black with cola highlights. Head is beige, dense and creamy and leave sheets of lacing.

Aroma is rather porter like, a little sweeter and lighter than a stout. Plenty of roasted dark grain. Hints of coffee, chocolate, and toffee.

Taste is much more rich and bold than the nose led me to expect. Sweet with roasted dark malt, coffee, fig, and raisin. A pleasant charred malt smokiness is prevelant throughout and offers balancing bitterness. Woody and earthy, with a metallic sting. Finishes with a strong tobacco quality, and alcohol warmth that lingers on the palate.

Mouthfeel is smooth and slick. Medium bodied.

Overall a pleasant dry stout. Quite tasty. A fantastic session brew.
