DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA May 29, 2009 On tap. Flavor and feel are slightly weak, but still a nice nutty good looking brew. Harsebrau (164), Kansas City, Missouri, USA May 29, 2009 Enjoyed on ’d-day’ after the ink dried...so to speak. Robust nutty aroma and flavor. Smooth and easy to drink. fluffy (229), Florida, USA May 29, 2009 wow. when they say hazelnut, they are not fooling around. the aroma is overwhelmingly nutty. flavor is buttery, and very strong of nuts and some malt. sweet smooth finish that leaves that smooth oily texture on the tounge. if you are into nut browns, this one is exceptional. noompa (130), Chicago, Illinois, USA May 24, 2009 Bomber (2009); pours a clear copper color w/ a billowing, creamy leather head; aroma is sweet maltiness w/ a lot of wood, nuts and a little vanilla; flavor has that complex nutty profile, along w/ some maltiness that is complicated by flavors of vanilla, hazelnut and virtually no hoppiness; a little unidimensional, but very tasty nonetheless, finishing on that nutty note. bozoNZ (481), Christchurch, New Zealand May 20, 2009 Dark brown but really lifeless and no hint of head anywhere. Fabulous aroma reminiscent of my grandads biscuit jar! Flavour follows which is the hazelnut but given I’m no hazelnut expert, I’ll stick with my grandad’s biscuits (rip). lacks a bit of weight and fullness or roundness. Lovely flavours and not OTT. Bonus points for Grandad memories....... jcr (1137), Jasper, Indiana, USA May 18, 2009 Bomber. Dark brown body with a light brown head that doesn’t stick around. Nice aroma of hazelnut, caramel, toast and herbs. Notes of flowers. The flavor is heavily sweet and lightly bitter. The sweetness drops somewhat in the finish, but the bitterness kicks up only a notch or two. Medium body with a watery texture that is a bit sticky. Lively carbonation. Distinctive brown ale with a dominant hazelnut taste. A bit over the top on sweetness for a brown ale. Still, an enjoyable, tasty beer. ScottB (73), Bristow, Virginia, USA May 16, 2009 Perhaps my palate isn’t refined enough to pick up the hazlenut aroma. I get coffee and dark chocolate on the nose. Ditto in the mouth with additional hints of caramel. Dry slightly bitter finish. SorenE (110), , New Zealand May 16, 2009 dark rust brown with a shortlived tan head. choclate and hazelnuts on the nose, almost like nutella, yum, this must be good:P wauw, the aromas follow through to the flavour and blends with some malty caramel sweetness, long lingering hazelnut and slight bitterness. quite dry, which makes this great.
