Comments
Better than I expected!
I must admit I've seen these bombers in the store but since they were on the cheaper side, I was a bit wary. So, when I had a chance to try some free at a brewfest, I went for it.
B.O.R.I.S. the Crusher was black with a tan ring in my tasting glass. I get a strong aroma of dark fruits, coffee, and chocolate. This is more complicated than I was expecting. The taste was a bit more complex with me discerning plum, raisin, and some cherry in the dark fruits. There is a bit of booziness in the taste, too.
I will buy a bomber of this later.
