Aug 16, 2005 Strong Earthy hops and malty aroma. Had a spicy flavor with a nice hop contrast. Very strong finish with this beer. Need to be eating a hearty food to drink this. Pass the pasta.

Aug 3, 2005 Pour is a very dark brown with a big tan head. Aroma is like dark fruits with a carmel malt backbone. Flaovr is a a nice peat moss with a touch of smoke with a bit of cherry in there. Very tasty and pleasing to all the senses.

Jul 26, 2005 A Big head that fast disapears into some lace, bitter and acidic bite, with some malts and chewy creaminess to offset. Lingering bitterness that works for summer.

Jul 22, 2005 Updated: Aug 24, 2005Bottle (Imperial pint) shared with blankboy This is steady favorite of mine, I keep half a dozen bottles at all times - surprising I havent’ rated it before! Poured a lively deepish copper, thinish fairly white head, spare lacing. Aroma is malt, hops to balance, some fruit and grain, and minerals. Taste is the same, very refreshing and "more-ish". A somewhat astringent, minerally mouthfeel, longer than average finish, ending on a slightly brackish, bitter note. Hope to have this on cask in the UK one day.

Jul 21, 2005 Charles Wells Bombardier. 20 July 2005. Bottle. From the beginning this seems to be a couple notches above your typical bottled British export. Light brown head that thins but stays for most of the glass. Beer is copper/red - shades darker than the marketing photo. Aromas of bread and light fruit. This is pretty mild and a little sweet, but very pleasant in all. The breadiness and hints of fruit (citrus) persist into the flavors, and the hops are just enough to round this out. A nice surprise for a bottled bitter this side of the pond - and (whaddya know) Not in a clear bottle! Thanks, Angelica.

Jul 10, 2005 From the bottle pours almost mohogany with nice red tones when held up to the light. The thick off white head thins to a lace. Aroma has coffee, black cherry, caramel hints with a hoppy overtone. To be honest it smells much better than it tastes. Flavour is thin and weak though for a premium bitter. Very light flavour, some hoppy notes in the body. Slighty malty after taste.
