22oz bomber poured into a wine glass

A: Pours a very deep brown/black with ruby highlights when held to a strong light. The head is beige and fades quickly leaving lots of lacing.

S: Dark roast grains, coffee, caramelized molasses, raisins, very subtle aroma of hops.

T: first off, malty and roasted grains. Some hints of dark fruit and caramelized molasses, definite hops bitterness on the back of the tongue/throat. Slight alcohol taste.

M: Full bodied and smooth. Slight alcohol sting.

O: A good solid example of American RIS. Gos down smooth, lots of flavor.

Bomber poured into stone snifter.

Appearence is decent - might be the best thing about this beer. Nose has some good roast, char, and some coffee. Taste unfortunately is not as good and is seriously lacking. Lots of IBU but not done well. I'd be curious to see if the BBA version is any better.
