Bomber, 2006 Brewer’s Reserve. Poured a slightly hazy deep reddish-brown with a short beige head (receded to a thick pool and ring quickly). The aroma was very promising... deep, rich semi-sweet chocolate and raisin notes, somewhat smoked and rum-laced.. dusty toffee as it warms. Really nice! Flavor was on the dry (and mildly astringent) side with dried smoky cocoa, rum-soaked raisins, and mild earthy bitterness... warm spices and booze accents at the finish, especially as it approached room temp. This was quite enjoyable.

May 24, 2008 2006 Bottle. Pours out a brown color without much of a head. Smell is sweet, spicy, and has some raisins in it. The taste is sweet, and really, like eating a raisin. Over carbonated, too sweet, no balance, pretty much a mess. It reminded me of Ommegang - but only in appearance and mouthfeel. Kind of like if unibroue was to brew Raison d’ Etre and add a turd to the mix. My least favorite beer of the weekend last week.

This is one of the better beers i have had from this brewer and I want so bad for them to have something better. My search continues
