About This Beer
To craft Bomb!, the renowned Prairie crew aged a rich, cocoa-y base on locally-roasted espresso beans, creamy chocolate, luscious vanilla beans, and warming ancho chile peppers.
Tasting Notes
Cascades of smooth milk chocolate-mocha course through every sip. Undercurrents of swirling spice complement the cafe flavors mellowed by silky soft vanilla.

It was good. Would order it again at that price. But I wasn't blown away. Merely not disappointed.

A bit more spice on the after taste would propel this beer into the stratosphere

Regular beer. Nothing too special with the taste

This is a nicely done non-barrel aged stout. It has a well done creamy and smooth body with a nice mild thickness to it and a tasty, subtly vanilla-y, coffee and dark chocolate flavor with a spot on touch of heat to its finish.

It was a little too much going on, but the rest of it tasted aiight.

Absolutely delicious! First wave was smooth and sweet. Second wave had just a hint of pepper that perfectly balanced it out. Love this beer!!

Toasty, chocolatey, smooth and boozy goodness

Too sweet and boozy. Also has an unpleasant finish. It's not my cup of tea.

Kahlua. Cough syrup. Continental breakfast coffee, budget motel. All things umami. Petrified raisins.

Never gets old. Bomb! Is consistently a go-to beer for me. So well balanced and flavorful and complex.

Not that good sadly. Definitely taste the coffee but that’s pretty much it. No spicy taste at all.

Sadly, this version is not quite what I remember from last year.

BOOM! That is the sound of this smooth, potent brew exploding on the taste buds. All of the flavors take a turn with a subtle heat building at the tail end. Wonderful.

Very tasty!

Honestly one of the best stouts I’ve had in a long time. Stands up to Bourbon County and other reference stouts.

Surprised but this. Others may like this, but it didn’t do it for me.
3.75
This is good, but I also feel jipped, this is a great stout, but I was expecting some heat, I get a lot of vanilla and VERY minimal heat, coffee is also lost
3.5
Nice but doesn’t stand out. Overall a smooth and easy tasting stout but the flavors don’t really come through as I thought they would.
3.5
This is definitely a stout worth trying if you like your stouts.
4.5
Chocolate, coffee and Chile pepper flavors are upfront. Along with creamy vanilla finish. The heat is light and pleasant. Could have amped it up just a little more.🍻👊🏻

I was initially going to rate this a 3.75 or 4.0 solely based on its crushability, but it was very flavorless. I was completely mistaken in drinking this straight from the fridge. This is a stout that NEEDS to be served warm. At first I was very disappointed since I got almost no flavors or aromas whatsoever. It was only after I let it warm up that I started getting huge hits of rich chocolate and pepper spiciness, as well as a bit of the alcohol flavor you would expect from a 12%ABV beer. More of the aromas open up too, of bitter cocoa nibs and pungent chilies. The flavors really do hit like a bomb, but this should have been called “creeper” since it slowly creeps up on you. Definitely recommend this to all the warm stout drinkers.

Tasty and not too spicy

Outstanding flavor. I’d prefer a Bomb with 8%ABV but I guess it wouldn’t be “the Bomb”

Oh.My.God. imagine the strongest, smoothest mocha cold brew. That is this beer. Amazing.
