Pours a real dark brown, kind of black colour without any highlights. The head is small, mocha-coloured with hardly any retention and leaving a thin ring around the brew. The spices are felt in the nose with some coffee, light alcohol warmth and a roasted malt base. In the mouth, it is quite smooth. Not too rich. Not really thick. The spiciness helps the warming of this strong brew, but all well-balanced mildly. The coffee notes comes out lightly in the finish, lingering. Even cacao. What I thought was a weak start, just builds up nicely. Liking this.

Pours a rich coffee brown with a thick tan head. Smoked malt aroma has coffee and peppery notes with a hint of chocolate. Flavor has tones of roast malt, quality coffee, and chocolate; pepper is strong but doesn’t assault the palate. I have had pepper beers that made my mouth feel like a set from "The Towering Inferno" and wondering when the fire department was going to put out the flames - this ain’t one of them. Texture is firm and fairly fizzy, a bit powdery, leaving a roast malt and cocoa finish. Have a belt!

12 oz bottle. Pours thick dark black with a medium creamy brown head that retains well and laces the glass some.

The aroma is lactic chocolate and vanilla, roast, black licorice and a little spice.

The flavor has a lot going on - sweet lactic chocolate and vanilla, chilies, and coffee with some alcoholic and spice heat in the finish along with a lot of roast bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with low carbonation.

Overall, interesting but too much going on that's not well mixed - sweet chocolate and vanilla, bitter roast, alcohol, coffee and chili spice.

Holy Moly! A Bomb! Even More Jesus hybrid?! Wonderful wonderful nose of baker's chocolate, cofee, roast, vanilla, veeeeery light chili. Flavor is much the same. Pretty balanced with only the chocolate being more dominant than anything else. Therein lies the main difference between this and Bomb. This is more chocolate leaning while Bomb was more coffee leaning. Otherwise very similar, and two of the BEST I've had in a while.

Pours black with a tan head that puffed up pretty good on the pour and settled to a thick blanket. Good amount of lace. Aroma is big on bitter chocolate, coffee, vanilla and spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. There are layers of flavor to this beer. The vanilla gives the beer some sugary, marshmallowy character. Lots of bitter cocoa and milk chocolate. Good, solid roast and faint coffee. The chili dosent show until the end and is pleasantly spicy but not overwhelming. Very nice balance between the different flavors. Starts very bitter and moves to sweet but the finish is dry and spicy. Excellent mouthfeel. It's smooth and creamy without being cloying at all. No booziness. A very good stout.
