| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bomber. pours dark brown with red tints. Nice fluffy tan head. Aroma is wonderful with roasted malts, molasses, and chocolate. Flavor is very porter like with huge molasses and roasted malt flaovrs. Can also taste chocolate and some caramel flavors. By far the best brown ale I have had and this beats the shit out of Rogue’s brown ale. Will make sure I pick this up every time I hit the brew pub. holdenn (1440), Chicago, Illinois, USA
