Nov 1, 2009 acrid smoke character that dissapates into a muscatel flavor with touch of smoke. nice fresh malt flavor to this 2007 bottle the brew was like an english porter and light in body, for a porter that is. it was like an aged wine i suppose with just a bit of sugar.

Oct 26, 2009 Pours a coffee brown with a tan head. Smells of hickory wood chips, chocolate, coffee, apples, toffee and hops. Wow, nice carbonation taste is very smoky, almost like applewood smoked bacon, definite roasted malts as it warms, hops and warming alcohol in the finish, stellar beer. I’d enjoy this on multiple occasions.

Oct 23, 2009 1999 draft at the Rare Beer Tasting at Wynkoop. Dark brown and filtered. Tasty brown ale with a lighter but recognizable smoke flavor. Lighter body and very easy to drink.

Oct 21, 2009 Bomber. 2009 vintage. Pours deep black with the thinnest of reddish-tan heads. Aroma is very faint and hard to distinguish. Some pepper, leather, and wood, perhaps? Taste, however, is quite interesting. Black pepper, tobacco, leather, all nicely blended and with a touch of licorice. Mouthfeel is not heavy in the least, and the palate, though short-lived, is pleasant and does last and even produces a final hint of bitter chocolate as it lingers on the tongue. Well done!

Oct 21, 2009 2008 Vintage enjoyed @ our cabin (seemed fitting in front of the woodburning stove with last year’s elk chili). Nose is sublime, smoky hardwood, hints of bitter chocolate. Taste is the smoky roasted malt and a really nice piney, pink peppercorn bitterness with just a fantastic mouthfeel. This bomber lasted about 2 minutes between a few of us. I was expecting it to be much more heavy and syrupy, but could have easily gone through another one. Outstanding.

Oct 17, 2009 On tap at Collins Pub. Pours a deep brown black with a thin tan head. Aromas of candy sugar and funk, in addition to the smoke, of course. Smoke is the dominant taste, with some sugar and a bitter coffee finish.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours deep brown with thick brownish white head. Aroma has grainy, slightly creamy malt scent, background is smokey - a woody, fine and controlled smoke scent. Aroma is tantalizing. Flavor is mild smoke and light bitterness, a perfect blend of the flavors of good tobacco and hearty rye bread. This is not for children folks. These are acquired tastes, and damn they are good. Light hop flavors and smokey malt roastiness in the finish. A great beer. Wish I had a keg all to myself for the next week. Where can I get a keg of this stuff?
