Nov 9, 2009 Had this out of a bottle aged one year. Has a dark brown color. Aroma is of hops, pine, and a milky kind of undertone. Taste is full of hops, dried fruit, and malts. Has a nice and smooth hoppy aftertaste. Great stuff!

Nov 9, 2009 Bomber. Nice looking beer - deep reddish-brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is dark caramel and spicy hops in the background. Flavor is brownsugar and stone fruit malts with a really nice spicy bitterness at the end that ties it off. "Fat TIre on Steroids" was the predominant description when shared with the family. Just a warming hint of booze @ the end. Well done.

Nov 8, 2009 2nd May 2009. Amber beer, hops dominate. A little malt at the start is quickly overpowered by smooth hops. Just a little bitterness. Overall a smooth hoppy beer just about held together by the malt base.

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle - Thanks beachbum25! - Pours a hazy amber with a large tan cream head...aroma is resinous and floral, sticky toffee, oranges and citrus...flavour is dank hop extract immediately, sweet caramel, not terribly hop bitter, rather gets it from a burnt sugar bitterness...dark fruit and ample carb...warming and tasty...

does not count  Nov 6, 2009 bomber from whole foods market. poured a little on the cold side. amber color with a tan head and a dissipating carbonation. Hops and caramel on the nose, very piny. sweet, fruity malts and strong resinous hop flavor. Dragonfruit and toffee as it develops. Tastes creamier the more it warms. well balanced and overall a nice wintery double IPA.

Oct 22, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep rich amber with two fingers or so of thick, tan foam and a middling amount of carbonation racing up the sides of the glass. Aroma is solidly hoppy with a good bit of caramel. Flavor is of sweet pine hops, fruit, malty sweetness. Hardly any burn at the end and the booze is practically imperceptible. Mouthfeel is lasting without being cloying or overwhelming. Really nice tingling presence stays on the tongue long after the quaff. Nice job again Alesmith!
