4.3From Bottle @fonefan gueuze tasting Ulfborg, thanks to Nightfall - june 24th 2016. Had this a couple of times back in it’s release dates. Pours a pitch black with a small, nice, brown head. Aroma has quite a lot of roasted malts, dark berries, prunes, dried cranberries, raisins, rum, cognac. Taste is really roasty bitter. Sweet, spicy. Full body and an average carbonation.

Aroma is rum, meat, roast, sweat, alcohol, soy, dark chocolate, raisin, liquor, smooth and gets better and better!
Flavour is deep roast with a serious but very balanced amount of rum. There’s also marzipan, raisin, bitter, dark chocolate, light soy, erc etc... Delicious!
Aftertaste is bitter, roast, raisin, rum and dark chocolate.
Low carbo, close to silky mouthfeel, full bodied.
Taste lingers out besutifully, very nice beer!
4.4Bomber bottle shared by a friend. Bottled in 2011. I hope this one hasn’t lost his pride yet. Poured a dark Black colour with a tanned ring on top. Nose of dark rum soaked raisins, earth tones, fainted cinamon, burned caramel, and some sweet bakers chocolate, some dark fruit notice, cherries, oak, and sweet rum, some sweet figs in the aftertaste combined with fudge and spices. I have no idea how this should have tasted fresh. But this one is still tasting Great! Cellared very well these last 4 years. The suprise of the evening
3.0Malziger, etwas zu alkoholischer Antrunk. Wenig süffig, wenig herb, süßlich, etwas schokoladig. Naja... 8/11/10/8/9/8
2.7Thanks Roman! Pours a very dark black with a small rich brown head. The smell is licorice, super rich malt, dark fruit soy sauce. The taste is as it smells with some alcohol and a dry char ending. Full bodied with mild carbonation.
3.4Many thanks to Roman. Nice smooth malty beginning. Intense malty, sweetish-smooth, fresh. Roasty butter, fresh malty, smooth with a nice sweetish maltyness. Nice.
4.2Bottle ,pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates quickly.. Aroma has a decent amount of dark grains, raisins and roasted malt with backing bourbon and chocolate. Flavor has a good amount of chocolate and raisin with a bit of bourbon and roasted malts.CHEERS!
4.4Sampled during RBSG. From notes. Cocoa, rum and spices. Very boozy. Super long finish.
4.3Bottle from Bishops Arms Vasagatan. Pours black with no head. Aromas of muscovado sugar, leather, rum, raisins, dates, marinated plums. Taste is muscovado sugar, raisins, rum, dates, plums. Mouthfeel is oily, sticky with almost no carbonation. Fantastic!
4.6Black viscous pour with little to no head. Aroma of roasted malts, rum, candisugar and oak. Sweet, roasted malts flavour. Hints of rum and leather. Really good. Full mouthfeel.
4.12011 bomber - super thick black pour with a thin head and not a lick of retention. Nose is heavy coffee, roast, and some chocolate. Taste follows the nose with some molasses and light sweetness. Booze has mellowed out some. Thick and oily on the palate. Good stuff.
4.1At BBF 2014 .
Pours black, no real head . Smell is bourbon / wood . Taste is bit bitter , very chocolaty . Bit too heavy for it low carbonation, giving this the mouthfeel of flat , thick juice ( not something I like in beer ) but the other aspects are very nice
4.6Bottle from Mane Liquor Erotic Affairs. Pours pitch black with a sticky, khaki head. Big aroma of raisins, spices, cinnamon, vanilla, butterscotch, brown sugar. Jingoes Moses. Flavours are similar, parading a lot more salted chocolate, rum spiciness with a touch of espresso on the finish. Super velvety body, oily on the palate. Twist my tit and call me Barry, fucking good!
4.6Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours pitch black with a fucking dark tan head. Nose has so much going for it - vanilla, dry cocoa, molasses, stewed dark fruits, brown sugar, spice and it’s very brandy forward stuff. Despite the overwhelming notes, everything is in perfect unison. The spice and apple brandy mingle unbelievably well. Taste is a balanced rollercoaster of flavours beginning with heavy raisin sweetness before dry cocoa nibs and vanilla come into play. The rum spiciness really rounds it off and adds something special to the finish. Sweet without being too viscous or oily. The finish just keeps changing and growing. It has a light astringent bitterness which melds with the vanilla pod-like sweetness and just stays and stays. The rum spice just keeps growing and it goes with this beer insanely well. Lacks a touch of creaminess on the body is probably my only qualm. The mild warmth you get from this is damn pleasing though. Absolutely incredible
3.7Sweet, rum-soaked, kinda like chocolate ice cream and rum raisin ice cream were blended together. Pretty good flavors but not incredibly tasty and really tough to drink. Basically, an imperial stout that is very solid but nevertheless far from the pinnacle.
3.9Sampled at the RBSG 2014. It poured a black color with a tan head. The aroma was slightly boozy, with rum, brown sugar and some spices. The taste was of rum, brown sugar, raisins and cinnamon. Awesome.
4.3Bottle during RBSG 2014 Grand Tasting at Schlafly Tap Room. Black with tan head. Aromas of rum, caramel, chocolate. Tastes of rum, dark fruit, spices, cookies, chocolate. Full body with a dry finish. Very enjoyable.
4.3Bottle shared by Nater31176! Rich dark black pour, little carbonation and an aroma of sweet dark chocolate and some light booze. Flavor was nice mellow meld of slightly rummed up chocolate, just enough raisin to be noticeable and sweet milk sugar on the aftertaste. Solid.
4.2Black of color with a brown head. An aroma of liqurice, vanilla, roasted and sweets. A flavor of alcohol, liqurice, vanilla, sweets, roasted and a nice oily texture.
3.8Sampled at Grand Tasting during RBSG. Pours a black color with off white head. Cocoa, bourbon, oak flavors.
3.9Tasted at RBSG grand tasting. 750ml bottle. Very dark brown color. Minimal head. Bigger body. Awesome chewy texture to it. Great dark chocolate, light spice. Moderate roast. Good bitter taste. Light bit of warmth. Mild sweet. Yeah. Good stuff.! Met expectations, considering..
3.4Shared at RBSG 2014. A ton of dark fruit and booze. Taste is sweet with a chocolate and raisin note. A ton of alcohol warning. Kind of harsh.
3.9Bomber (from original 2011 batch, I believe) shared at my house recently by my buddy Shem who has acquired a very nice stash of rare aged ales. Pours pitch black with only the thinnest layer of brown foam. AROMA of charred malts, smooth dark chocolate, hints of rum, and some spice. FLAVOR of semi-sweet chocolate (fudge brownie), nutty roasted malts, some dry cinnamon, smooth rum, and some dark fruit. There’s a nice balanced between the sweet and the roasty in the mount. Must confess that I could not help being a little disappointed on this one...the mere premise of this beer (imperial milk stout with raisins and rum-aged) had my mouth watering. So my hopes were too high...but this is still a very good beer. (242, 876)
4.0Pitch black with a deep khaki head. Sticky, light cinnamon, vanilla, wood and sweet. Thick and hearty, molasses, sweet, vanilla, wood, chewy, alcohol, rum, great finish.
4.0Bottle. Pours black with a brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, coffee, plenty of dark fruits, lots of rum, oak. Taste is heavy sweet and bitter. Body is full, texture is thick oily, carbonation is soft. Finishes boozy and intense. Nicely integrated flavours.
4.3From the bottle, on a glorious beauty of a winter Sunday in Florida. Pours an inky black with very little head. Huge roasted grain, dark fruit and rum notes in aroma. Thick smooth malt body, lots of roasted grain, chocolate, rum, vanilla barrel notes, dark fruit in the taste. Just a big thick tasty stout, absolutely awesome.
4.3NYE bottle share a Proof. Poured a pitch black with zero head. No collar, and no lacing, but some decent legs from the thick body. Aroma is of very dark malt with a lot of coffee and a touch of spice (cinnamon, clove or nutmeg?). Taste has a lot of raisin up front, with the deep malt in the middle, a touch of booze (rum) throughout. Extremely low carbonation but that thick body lends to a good mouthfeel.
3.9Oily black pour with brown head. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, and rum balls. Big, chewy mouthfeel. Exceptionally sweet, making this a very robust dessert style beer... 10 oz would be enough.
