Thanks to riversideAK for getting me this one. A thick dark red pour with a small tan head. Heavy caramel malt and bubble gum aroma. Flavor has nice citrusy hops, caramel, toffee, and a bit of dark fruit. Finished pretty thick, slightly bitter and clean. Very nice!

Aug 7, 2008 Bomber 2007 vintage courtesy of JB175. Pours a fairly clear reddish brown with one finger tan head and delicate lacing. Nose is sweet caramel, molasses and mild hops. Taste is dark fruits, brown sugar, and caramel with a nice bitter hop finish. Sweet enough to hide the big alcohol content but not cloyingly so. Full mouth feel. This is a great BW. Thanks Jason!

Aug 7, 2008 Dark brown with red hues and a beige bubbly head that thinned out as time expired. Aroma is very malty with lots of dark fruit, brown sugar, and candy. Light chocolate and roast too. Very fruity. The flavor starts with a hoppy burst of floral, pine, and citrus. Tobacco follows and mixes with dark fruits and some chocolate. As it warms flavors of cherries and a light tartness shows up. Smooth and drinkable. Alcohol is light for the ABV.

Aug 5, 2008 Bottle sampled at RBSG ’08. 2007. Pours with a depp mohagony body topped by a thick, tan head with a good amount of lacing. It’s malty and sweet with a nice caramel note and a light piney hop character. Full bodied, smooth and a touch dry.
