Sep 29, 2007 Bomber - Poured a dark reddish copper in color with a Medium light tan head. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is hoppy with also some nice nutty maltiness. Some alcohol noted as well. Flavor is nicely balance with sweet, caramel malts and *plenty* (hop forward?) of citrus and pine resin hopiness. Alcohol is present, but muted, behind the hop bitterness. I really like this beer and hope to repeat soon!!

Sep 27, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper with a bold head with abundant lacing. Sweet caramel malt nose with a fruity backbone. Taste is sweet maltiness balanced nicely with citrus and pine. I’m amazed it is 10.27%, you can feel the some alchohol warmth but not that much. Creamy and smooth palate with a nice bitter finish. Damn good barley wine.

Sep 25, 2007 bottle, $6.19. Aroma is hopps and fruity nutty malts. Notes of resin, caramel, dried fruit. Large off-white head that mostly diminished but left fantastic lacing. Dark mahogany hue. Big flavor and the finish is bitter. Complex notes of port, alcohol, resin, and citrus. Palate is a little soft and full bodied but the alcohol does come through in this brew. A good one but not in the same class as that old foghorn I just had.

Sep 25, 2007 A very lovely, very intense barley wine. Bold. A kick ass beer that you just nurse while watching the Lions lose in the middle of fall.

Sep 25, 2007 Pours out a deep red with a thick but quickly dissipating head. Chocolate malt aroma that gives way to an impending hop explosion. The hop aroma is much more pungent then floral. Big chocolate malt taste that is struggling to balance the huge amount of hops. The hops are big and spicy and just tingle on your tongue until they fade away and leave a grapefruit dry bitterness in the aftertaste. This is a big bold barley wine that is not the type of beer you want to give your light beer drinking buddy for his first taste of a real mans beer.

Sep 23, 2007 3/27/05 Bomber. Amber with large tan head. Very prominent hoppy aroma. Prominent hop bitterness with not quite enough balancing malts.

Sep 9, 2007 Aroma is a rich caramely scent with hoppy back tones . Color is a deep orange with a slight haze. Carbonation is good with a nice thick tight head. Taste is sweet, rich and bitter. Starting with full body that goes down smooth with a rich feel and a bite on the end. Finish comes out of this bite with a sweet malt flavor that is quickly chased away by a bold bitterness and a light citrus hop flavor
