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 from the PAUTN (PA Underground Trading Network). Pours ruddy muddy brown with 1-finger khaii head and great lacing. Time in the bottle seems to have served this one extremely well, as I note that others haven’t seen much head. The aroma is nice; big bourbony scotch malt, cognac, brown sugar, figgy fruit. The taste is fruity, with figs, berries, single malt bourbon, cognac, brown sugar, hops, spices. Primarily bourbony, but this one has a lot of intermingling flavors coming and going. The palate is rich, suitably dense for a beert this alcoholic, and very complex. I enjoyed this one a great deal.

A beer produced exclusively for Julio’s liqours. Aged in four different types Buffalo Trace Bourbon casks, and blended. Pours hazy, dark amber with a reddish hue. A straight-down pour allowed a half-inch head of finely beaded beige to rise up. Some light lacework of mostly dots cling to the glass, and a partial, whispy skim-coat sticks to the surface of the brew. Aromatics are pungently bourbonized. Oak-laced whiskey and semi-sweet, sticky malt interplay very well. There’s no mistaking the barrel-aging. Plenty of Buffalo Trace aromas but not overbearingly. Nougat and vanilla step forward in the finish as the nostrils warm. Mouthfeel is medium at best, but sticky and creamy. Carbonation is extremely fine and spot on for the complexity of the brew. The pallet is loaded with scotch ale character, but not of the sickly sweet school of scotch. Well attenuated, but still has plenty of carmelized malt and a hint of smoke. The barrel aging is well balanced on the pallet, less overwhelming than expected from the nose. The bourbon, malt, oak, and vanilla all meld very well for such a big brew. Hints of peat and charcoal run late on the finish. Quite warming but very smooth. Quality barrels definately get kick this beer up another notch. A testament to the art of barrel-aging and blending. I’m sure cellaring for years will continue to meld and mellow this ringer.

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.

Bomber. Could this have any more bourbon in it? Probably not. Does Scotch and bourbon actually mix in some parallel universe? My advice to anyone that has this beer is for the love of God, let it rest for another 6 months. This ain’t no Avery but she ain’t cooked yet either.
