Clear deep red-brown pour with a medium foamy white head. Sweet fruity malt aroma. Lots of caramel malt in the flavor, with a hint of figs and hops. A nice brew.

More of a Scottish ale than a strong american. Incredibly good balance of hops and malt. Hint of honey and figs? Sampled at the St. Pete Florida Craft Beer Fest.

This American Strong Ale pours a deep reddish copper color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel malts, figs and some other dark fruits. A medium bodied Strong Ale. The malts are caramel and fruity. The hops are earthy and slightly spicy. The fig and raisin flavors are fairly prominent, but it’s not overly sweet or over the tops. Nice balance. Very smooth taste. Nice beer. Mouthfeel is ful and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

Bomber pours a clear mahogany body with a decent offwhite head that has some canary hued accents. Aroma is molasses, spicy hops, and blueberries. The figs emerge as it warms. Slightly chewy on the palate, with some unwelcome alcohol hotness. Taste is malty and fruity, with molasses and Fig Newtons dominating. Spicy hops and hot alcohol also present. I generally give high marks to the Shmaltz beers but I’ll pass on this one.

Cloudy brown appearance. Yeasty, Belgian like aroma. Flavor has dried fruit and sweet malt. It could pass for a Belgian ale. Very easy to drink.

Tasted 7/14/08. 22oz bomber. Hazy with an amber brown hue. Brainy ring of bone white head. Aromas of caramel and fruity esters. Medium bodied and sweet. Dark dried fruits and cocoa. Spicy and mildly peppery. Moderate effervescence. A subtle fudgy toffee undertone. Pruney cola malts. Slight hop palate. Honey flavors show in the malt profile. Bitter in the middle, where the fruit shows. Dark, dried and/or berries. Mild citrus note. Moderate alcohol with a grape and vanilla flavor. Not grapes, but candy grapey. Tart, sweet and sticky with a rolling palate. Slight pepper and spice. Maybe a touch too sweet.
