3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 bblack99 (348) - Kansas City, Missouri, USA - SEP 2, 2010
Double Red Ale is an alias for Triple? Really?
Bomber pours a murky, muddy copper-brown with a nice but short-lived pale tan head. Aroma is spot-on, with loads of Crystal malt wafting up and bringing caramel sweetness along with a little toast and honey. Flavor is a kick in the tongue, with the caramelly malt base framing tastes of golden raisins, light-roast coffee, and brewer’s licorice. Alcohol content is a bit high and throws off the balance a little, but not unpleasant.

Bottle. bought from Alvinne brewery, consumed at home. Poured into goblet glass, excellent lacing, small white frothy head float, dark red appearance. Sweet toffee malt nose, some rye aroma as well, taste is very chewy, rye bread, toffee, complex malt, doughy yeast, very tough, dry long finish. Some nuts and an earthy texture too. Good craftmanship.

3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 boto (1406) - Granby, Connecticut, USA - AUG 6, 2010
22oz. bomber: This one pours a crystal clear, red-tinged amber color. There was a very small off-white head on it that didn’t leave any lacing. The aroma is pretty good. Some piney hops and a ton of malts. Some fruity esters hanging around in there also. The taste is really good. A ton of malts, without too much sweetness. The hops give a slight dryness to the finish to a slightly sweet start. Some caramel, dark fruits, very well balanced. This drinks very easy.
