22 oz bottle shared by toncatcher. Wood and sweet malts in the aromas. Similar flavors in the flavor. A little boozy and some alcohol on the finish. Pretty good.

Bottle, thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing. Pours a hazy reddish-brown with a white ring. Rich fruity malt aroma, with apples, peaches, caramel, and bourbon. Very rich taste, of bourbon, malt, and sweeter fruits - apples. Big mouthfeel. Lingering sweet bourbon and fruit flavors. Very tasty.

22oz. Bomber Pours a nice clean/clear golden brown color, nice carbonation, nice small tannish creamy head, nice sticky lacing follows. The nose is malty, very nice tones of bourbon, some toffee/caramel. The taste is slightly sweet, malty, big on bourbon, toffee/caramel. Medium body. Very drinkable, this is one of the best from Berkshire, highly recommended. Thanks Andrew.

Bomber via trade, and for the life of me I can’t quite figure out who traded to me. Shared with my girlfriend Cyn and Dalekliz. Pours cloudy orange reddish amber with a tan head. Nose is quite sweet and feels a lot like its going to be thick. Molasses and bourbon are omnipresent. The taste is sweet, malty and overall quite nice. Not a lot of complexity, but its tasty.

Courtesy growler. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head that leaves minimal lacing behind. The aroma shows notes of caramel malts, dark fruits, and some alcohol. Pretty different for a scotch ale. The flavor follows more of a traditional path with the smoked peat malts and creamy caramel dominating things with a little bit of heat on the back end. There was a little bourbon flavor on the backend, but not much. Medium bodied and smooth with a sweet caramel finish. Pretty good scotch ale.
