Bomber bottle...opague dark brown with a light brown sugar head...smoked gouda aroma--pungent....smoky smoky and good...only problem is not much else is showing through...I get some dark roasty malts...and a bitter coffee/toffee but it takes a minute to register....ok letting it warm up a bit....44 minutes later its basically the same, very overbearing in the smoke department, a bitterness(very mild)in the finish..this would be great with a smoked gouda and bologna and cheese sandwich...just in general...a food paring with this beer should be had...like a spoonful of red raspberry preserves...whoo hoo!

Jul 19, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours black/dark brown with two finger head. Aroma of ash, smoke and roasted malts. Flavor is also smokey.. all bbq and charcoal. Medium to thick mouthfeel. Good smokey porter.

Jul 19, 2008 Bomber from Bottleworks. Deep black pour with a smallish head. Solid nose of chocolate, coffee, and smokehouse. Delicious flavors of super dark coffee and cocoa powder blend well with the meaty smoke notes. This is the least "meat" flavored smoke beer I’ve had, definitely the smoothest, and my favorite by a landslide. I really wish I could buy this locally as I’d love to keep some around and try aging.

Jul 11, 2008 2007 bottle from Chuck and Laura in WA. This is the first beer I’ve had from the Smoked genre. It very much reminded me of standing next to a charcoal BBQ and drinking a dark beer. The palate was surprisingly smooth and the flavors were distinct (chocolate and licorice). Very interesting brew.
