Bomber from michael-pollack. Pours pretty black with a fizzy tan head. Nice aroma of roast or rye malt with some spice and fruit. Med+ body with strong carbonation. The first impact is dark fruit, then a bit of earthiness, some fruit/floral hop, and some peppery spice pops up. Pretty good beer.

Appearance: The pour is fairly dark brown color with a creamy lighter brown colored head

Palate: The body is medium, it has a nice drinkability, lively carbonation, and a somewhat dry finish
Overall Impression:
Another interesting attempt from the Terrapin Side Project Series, I tend to find most of their Side Project beers to be anywhere from drinkable to good. This one was quite nice. An enjoyable dark saison.

Bomber pours very dark brown with full chocolate milk shake head. The aroma offers up black grapes, blueberries, prunes, a touch of cloves, yeast and a faint lemon sense. The taste is similar with sweet black grapes, blueberries, prunes and clove like spices all mixing together. It gets a touch apple like to midway creating a bit more complexity and depth. Well off in the background is a sense of dark roasted malts.
