Bottle. Pours garnet-brown with off-white head. Aroma is very rich - fruity, mild berry notes, some nuttiness in the background. Round malt flavor - textured grains, caramelized sugars, light toasted barley - followed by mild bitterness and very light herbal/piney hops. Unbeatable palate and very clean. A good ale on the darker side, definitely reminiscent of the better English ESBs.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
dark reddish brown, dark for the style, large white head. rich malt and slight floral hop to the nose. moderate bitterness followed by a lot of rich low crystal malt, possibly even a little chocolate malt in there before a lot of fruity esters from the yeast that are nice. a fair amount of residual sweetness. a tasty brew, but somewhat unusual for the style, a bit too sweet and with too little hop character

Bomber served in an English pint. Pours amber-brown with a slight haze and a good-sized beige head. Aroma is mellow chocolate and caramel malt, a touch of fruit, and a spice and hop kick. The slightly bittersweet flavor and creamy texture is classic English-style bitter. Medium body and smooth finish. Excellent malt components in this easy-drinking brew.

22oz bottle. thanks to ken for the extra....pours a semi-transparent dark tea-like brown with a medium creamy light beige head.... aroma of grassy herbalness pervades with some accompanying light fruit notes... flavors have some caramel toasted malt to coincide with some earthy light herbal bitterness. semi-sweet overall without any lingering bitterness. smooth easy drinking. almost more of a lightly hopped brown ale to me.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep red in color, clear with a small white head which gathers around the edges. Toasted malt. caramel, herb-like and fruity hops. The palate is light-medium in body, flat carbonation with a soft finish. The taste is sweet with caramel malt and light fruit and finishes with a subtle tea-like leafy bitterness. Enjoyable with lots of character.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a dark ruby red with a big frothy tan head. Not much of a nose on this one besides some caramel malts. Sweet, very malty with a bitter finish. Disappointing, but still drinkable.
