Bomber given to me by one of the Dale brothers. Pours a bronze color with a vrey nice creamy white head. Nose is very biscut like with a nice malt character. Taste is very smooth with a strong malt backbone balanced nicely with the Kent and Fuggle hop presence. This was a pleasant surprise that I’d been sitting on for awhile. A very good quality brew!

Aroma is toasted bread, black tea, and a hint of skunky ganj’- weird. Flavor is nice and dry with a bit more of that black tea coming through. Nice.

UPDATED: OCT 17, 2008 Very easy drinking brew, heavy on the malt, Not overly sweet, as I was expecting. brownish colour. some bitterness to it for an ESB. Good drinker on a hot day.

Bomber from Saarlander - thanks! Cap has a hand written "708" under the plastic. Clear, dark gold with a thin white head. Sweet, nutty, malty nose, almost candy like. Flavor is fairly sweet, but not overly so, very malty and a mild, nutty flavor. Body is just a touch thin. Extremely clean finish, went well some mild chili. Nice!

Bottle. Poured a cloudy amber color; with a smallish white head. Aroma of bread, toasted malt, yeast, earth and fruit. Flavor of sweet malt and buttered bread; not sure if this is what they were going for. A bit of floral and earthy hops. Easy to drink, but not great flavor. Ok for the style.

22oz bottle. Rating #9. Medium to dark yellow pour with a decent white head. Grainy malty aroma, pretty clean. Clean mouthfeel, very smooth, light malts and a pretty decent overall. (1275)

GABF 09. Pours a slight hazed light copper with med head. Aroma is earthy, tea-like with some cardboardy malts, light toast, and some gritty grains- slight corny? Flavor is dusty, earthy cardboard malts, some herbal hops, grass and more tea, kinda flowery. This experiment (half lager half ESB) just didn’t work for me.

Saarlander hooked it up, thanks man. Rich gold pour. Aroma is malty as hell with some floral hops and crackers. Flavor is sweet and malty. Bitterness is very light. This is ok, but not amazing.
