Dec 23, 2007 Bomber courtesy of alexanderj, shared with kleyland. Pours a dark brown with a small, off white head. Aroma of caramel and dark fruits. Taste was a mixed bag. I had a hard time picking up on the malt bill. Tart/sour flavors dominated the finish. Don’t quite know what happened to this one. Not that great for my taste.

Dec 19, 2007 22 oz. brown bomber bottle. No freshness date seen. Weak pfftt opens bottle. Poured out a deep, dark brown, with red highlights. Aromas are of coffee, cocoa powder, some figs. Weak, watery body. Flavors are about the same as the aromas. Undercarbonated. Not the best example of this style I ever had, that much is certain.

Dec 18, 2007 This one poured a dark brown color with little head showing. The aroma contains some coffee, dates, caramel, and raisins. The flavor is rather sweet with some alcohol showing through. I taste some dark fruit, molasses, and coffee. A big malty beer with some sourness in the finish. Overall a little too sweet but not bad.

Dec 16, 2007 Appearance: Pours a cloudy, dark brown body with a wispy white head.
Smell: Aroma of dark caramel, walnut meats, tobacco, dark fruits, and unfinished wooden furniture.
Taste: Dark caramel maltiness with a subdued sweetness, at which point it becomes increasingly drying. Lightly fruity. Notes of roasted nuts, dried tobacco leaf, and wood. Mild earthy bitterness. Warming finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Pretty good for a hefty, robust brown ale.

Dec 4, 2007 400 Years of history and it leads to a somewhat disappointing ale. Not a great strong ale. I do like the idea of a beer based on history. Tasted like a belgian, but missing something.

Dec 4, 2007 Really nice dark strong, or perhaps even "old" ale styled beer. Pours dark brown, with ruby notes, but with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma displays dark fruits, nuts, and malt, with a decent hop character. Flavor comes through all the way with a nice malty forefront, backed by more dark fruits and hints of chocolate.
