3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 ljay6880 (472) - , Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 21, 2010
Bomber served in an English Pint. Pour is a deep, flat black with 3 fingers of tan foamy head. Nose is salt, dark chocolate, raisins, dates, caramel, toffee, English yeast, and a light hint of sardines. Taste is roasted malts, caramel, dark fruits, and dark chocolate. The body is very similar to English Brown Ale, in texture and yeast taste. The finish is somewhat odd as the salt, along with caramel and dates/raisins, makes its presence known. This one is a very strange take on a porter. It is quite good, but oddly, I don’t think I could drink a lot of it. I’m left with desire by the end of many of the delicious bombers I’ve sampled, but I am satisfied at this end of this one.
