Mar 9, 2008 22 oz. bottle on 3/9/2008. Pours a light brown mahogany with a large off white head, some decent lace, all settling to a thin layer over a few minutes. Dark fruitiness of ripe figs, dates, and raisins, and lurking underneath some peppery spice. Medium body and carbonation, resinous feel, dry palate. Burnt caramel flavors and spicy bitterness come on quickly, finishes dry with a slightly astringent bitterness.

Mar 9, 2008 bottle from Ft Wayne tasting - Ok, my notes are lousy on this one, mostly because I just didn’t know what to make of it. I wrote a few comments and a big question mark. It pours clear amber with a big head. It smells mostly of malt. The flavor has a pretty good hops balance though. It’s medium bodied, has some mild hops in the finish, and well, it’s alright though just plain odd.

Mar 8, 2008 Color is a beautiful clear mahogany reddish-brown with a fine-bubbled and pale tan head. Aroma is malty with hints of spices. The rich, very malty flavor has a spicy undertone and a noticeable hop component. Finish is smooth with just a little bitterness.

Mar 8, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear dark brown with a fluffy brown head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is spicy with some floral notes. Taste is more of the same, with some notes of pepper, nutmeg, brown sugar and mouthwash. Mouthfeel is kind of light. High carbonation and lingering spicy aftertaste.
