Brought a 22oz bomber to a tasting.

Sadly this is my first hoppin frog beer, so I can't compare this to the BORIS or BA BORIS.

This was way more hoppy then I was expecting, but if you have had BORIS, maybe that wouldnt be a surprise? Taste was very good. smoky chocolate and caramel balance the hops very well. Low carbonation made the feel very thick and sticky.

I'd say definitely something to share with friends as it packs a punch and is pretty intense.

edit: now that i've had BORIS and BA BORIS, I can say this is nothing like it. HUGE hoppy flavor (at least when fresh). Its a great beer, but I'm letting this one lay down for a while.

Bomber poured into a snifter glass.

Pours a dark black with a dark chocolate head that is very slight.

Smell is strong with chocolate and a slight coffee smell.

Taste is roasty malt with hits of a bitter chocolate coffee taste. slight alcohol burn on the finish with a slight bitter afterbite.

A very strong stout with some interesting flavors. Another winner from Hoppin Frong

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

Poured from a bottle into a FFF teku glass
it pours pretty dark and pretty much no head
smell is of rich chocolate, coffee, and smoke
taste was of a roasty stout and a bit smokey on the back end
i find it not as much of a traditional RIS or oatmeal stout
due to the extremely smokey flavor on the back end which
I was not a big fan of
this beer was ok nothing that I will seek out again as it tended to be too smokey for me

I had this at Torst in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, NY.

This comes in a very deep black color as expected with a dark brown head.

The aroma has a roasted malt and sweet chocolate. Rich toffee and caramel sweetness.

The flavor is creamy strong roasted malt and burnt coffee or espresso. It's a very deep and rich beer.

There is a boozy middle and finish. It is a big roast and dark rich beer bomb. A full beer. Not for the weak palated.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

Bomber bought for $12.99. Poured into a chalice.

An average beer. One I would prefer to avoid considering the availability of some many above average beers. Unlikely that I will drink again unless someone convinces me to re-review.

A - Poured a reddish black (almost black), viscous, beautfitul dark reddish brown thin head which disipates quickly. NIce brown lacing.

S - Heavy dark chocoloate aromas, roasted malts, some alcohol(-).

T - Dark roasted coffee, some dark fruit, very light sweetness, slight coffee bitterness in the finish, alcohol.

M - Smooth, creaminess, but some excessive alcohol hotness (-).
