Bomber courtesy of douglas88, thanks man! It pours amber with copper to gold hues and thin off white head. The mild aroma has some sweetness as well as smooth smoky rauch maltiness. The taste begins with soft smooth sweet dark fruity esters and sweet maltiness that quickly run into some bacon and smoke that cause sort of a peat like sensation. It stays pretty much the same right into the finish. Tasty balanced brew.

Bomber from the brewpub. Mike Hahn is a great brewer so this is a cool idea. Pours a dark ruby color with a small white head. The aroma is rich sweet malty and fruity elements, earthy and some brown malt. The flavor is a rich mix of berries, caramel, lots of strawberry, dusty and fairly dry, a smooth solid Scotch Ale. It comes across as a tad bit thin perhaps, but otherwise a great new offering. Some smokiness here, I believe they used some smoked malts, but not a ton of smoke.

Very nice beer and cheers to Mike for being a co-brewer on this.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is weak, sweet, caramel, and toffee. The look is clear, off white head, amber colored. The taste is toast, sweet , and caramel.

Copper with a small off-white head. Aroma is of peat, leather, malt, booze, and leaves. Taste is of earth, booze, peat and caramel.

22 ounce bottle. The aroma is filled with peat smoked malt, fruity notes, with a hint of sweet malt. These same characters are present in the flavor as well. The sweetness is a little cloying. I found this to be a boring beer.

Pours a nice burnt copper/orange color with a thick two fingered white head. The nose is of caramel, bread, citrus, pine, smoke and some whiskey notes. The taste starts smooth and malty with a nice toffee and nutty maltiness. Next come notes of smoke and whiskey. The finish has some lingering toffee.
