kyzr (901), Bozeman, Montana, USA Apr 20, 2008 Darker amber pour with decent brown head. Roasted nutty nose with some brown sugar. Flavor is carameal and a lot of light toasted malt. Very sweet, and yes, you can tell this has a lot of alcohol from the warmth. Finish is clean with a touch of bitterness from the hops.
JB175 (1306), Holland, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 30, 2008 Reddish color with a smallish head. Aroma is very sweet and sugary with a nice amount of citrus and floral hops. Flavor has lots of caramel and brown sugar sweetness with a smooth hoppy bite. Some dark fruit and candy in there too. Nice feel with a solid finish. A bit underrated in my opinion. egajdzis (2929), Terrapin, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 13, 2008 Poured a lightly hazy, golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, vanilla, light pomegranate, almond, and minimal oxidation that I found, especially for being two years old. Taste of sweeter caramel, nuts, lightly tart pomegranate, toasted malts, and surprisingly low alcohol presence for being 10%. Ughsmash (2874), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jun 22, 2008 Bomber. Poured a brilliant, fiery shade of reddish-orange with a short, swirly cap of beige head. The aroma opened with candied medium-skinned fruits, caramel, and nutty notes.. lots of oxidation present, with the hops pretty well shot. The flavor found lighter fruits, some vinous notes, and pomegranate on the sweet core.. light herbal (and other non-classifiable) bitterness surrounds and makes itself quite annoying by the sticky, cloying finish.. somewhat toasty overall.. a lot more pomegranate right at the back. Medium-plus bodied and it never came together for me on the palate.. sticky and hot on the final impression. I didn’t care for this. phishpond417 (1231), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA May 30, 2008 It pours a nice amber colour with a tan head. very little lacing. Wine scented aroma with almonds, caramel and bread. Has a very smooth nutty taste with flavors of bananna, licorice and biscuits. waolsen (939), Littleton, Colorado, USA May 28, 2008 bottle. pours copper/orange pour with frothy white head. leaves a nice lacing. strong hops. perfume and pine. dark fruits, rich malts and alcohol aroma. smooth and fruity. nice malt backing. well hopped. great fruit. the pomegranate is very nice. not overly done. very enjoyable.
