Bottle from Capone’s. Turbid ruby copper pour with 2-finger off-white head. Aroma of funky bretty malt, cabernet, figgy fruit, scotch, some spices, and some female taint wafts. Tastes fruity, richly caramel malty, with citrusy, spicy peppery, caramel malt, cognac, and cherry candi sugary flavor hints. Very complex, and very enjoyable.

Mar 13, 2010 Bomber. Batch #4 (bottled Feb 2010, so VERY fresh still). Pours a golden orange with just the right amount of foam. Even to my impaired nose the aroma is orange and citrus cinnamon, with just a dusting of lovely hops. Really a nice aroma here. Very interesting flavor, initially bland, to bitter, to sweet, back to bitter. The interplay of what tastes like pink grapefruit rinds and bitters, mixed with just a shot of vanilla extract and vodka makes for a very interesting brew. The really unique thing is that none of these flavors ever rises to to rule the day, so balance is obviously quite good. I’m impressed!

Mar 13, 2010 22 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Chesapeake, VA (Batch #3, bottled February 2009). Dark orange pour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of Belgian candi sugar, yeast, and light citrus. The flavor is no doubt a dark Belgian ale, however it is smooth and well-balanced. The alcohol is somewhat present. Very drinkable.

Mar 10, 2010 Bomber from Party Source (Syracuse), served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. Batch #3.
App.: Clear deep amber with a fair light tan head.
Aroma: Quite sweet and fruity, some dry woodsy tones, dark dried fruits, some esters (tropical fruits mainly), some yeasty notes, a bit rum-like with some brown sugar, some warm spices, ginger.
Palate: Medium body with sparse, fine, slightly prickly effervescence.
Flav.: More hops than the nose – green, leafy, slightly piney, a little earthy, less of the fruitiness, veers towards an English Strong Ale to my tastes, still some spices and ginger, a bit of earthy caramel/toffee, very little yeast; somewhat sweet with restrained bitterness and a pleasant fruity malt finish.
Beats a lawsuit, I guess.

Feb 27, 2010 Pours a cloudy amber color with a light head to top it off. The aroma is sweet and fruity, the yeast can be noted as well. The taste is sweet and rather delicious. I recommend this beer.

Feb 23, 2010 Batch #3, Feb 2009. 22oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a sparkling but small white head. The lacing on this is too creamy to stick for very long. The nose is banana, clove, caramel, chocolate, white grape, and Belgian yeast. Taste is a creamy blend of Belgian yeast funk, white grape, chocolate, clove, and light raisin tones. A decent beer, but not my favorite Belgian ale.
