Bottle generously shared by ajm -- thanks, big dog! Pours like sweet mo-lasses from the bomber with a frothy beige head. Smells earthy -- a lot like potatoes, actually. Tastes of hash browns and oats coated with maple syrup. There is a definite root, almost turnip, quality to the flavor. Most excellent -- especially for a brown.

Gigantic fluffy tan head. Aromas of cocoa, toasted malt, light vanilla coconut. I am reminded of a Mallo Cup. Something I haven’t been able to find since their fire. Body seems to be a murky dark umber color. In no way is this a normal brown scent. Fairly thin in feel. Flavors have a bit of Crème de cacao and lightly toasted malt. I catch a touch of metal in the finish which make it feel thinner. This has flavors that I would hope for in a brown ale. There are still a few minor issues, but still a decent brown.

Brown pour with a tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and the sweetness from the molasses. Roasted malt, nutty richness, smooth- limeted sweetness. All-around very likeable. Leaves a nice creamy roasted mouthfeel.

Really good. Got to be tough to do a molasses brown. Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chicago a few months ago. Poured with a medium, tan head and a little lace. Color is an opaque dark brown. Aroma is very interesting: a brown with molasses, strange but they made it work. Also some chocolate, nuts, toffee, cocoa, dark fruits, and something else I can’t place. Flav’s the same. Pat says it reminds him of his grandma’s molasses cookies. Nice finish. Good body and carbonation.

Bomber from Archer Liquor. Pours a very dark brown with a smallish dark tan head. Aromas of dark malt, nuts and treacle. Full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is treacle, dark roast malt, and some nuttiness. It’s bitter, and that seems to be from hop. Finishes a little gritty/dirty/earthy, a little coffee, and nicely nicely. What else can be said. It tastes good.

I thought this was a stout by the way it looked and smelled. Black, tan head and aromas or roasted malts. Flavor is milder than a stout and has some nuttiness and creamy caramel flavors. medium mouthfeel

Bomber, kindly shared by fishingnet. A roasty chocolaty brown ale. Smooth lush mouthfeel with a little chalkiness, big flavor. Lots of caramel, chocolate, roast with a little sweetness. Very good brown.

dark brown, almost black, murky, under a small fizzy tan head. a good potent "brown" aroma. can’t beat it. tons of nuts, caramel, and toast. palate is a bit fizzy and too light. flavors are quite bitter with some nuts and caramel. also some minerally flavors and flowery hops.
