Very minor head. There’s some streaky lace on the glass. Deep amber color with a ruby tint. Nearly clear. Nice, light caramel malty sweetness. Brown sugar initial flavor. If I were blindfolded, I’d believe that I was having a Scotch Ale, but not a wee heavy. The taste profile is unusual: Brown sugar to a light hop bitterness to a raw, unmalted grain finish. The body is as expected with a low level carbonation.

22oz bottle from the brewery. Amber pour with no real head. Aroma is sweet malts with a touch of smoke. The smoke also appears in the flavor and it makes the standard-ish old ale a little more interesting.

This beer is hard to figure out. It’s malty like a brown ale or barely wine but not strong. It is good to drink. I’m not to keen on the label.

From bottle. Amber colour with a thin white lace. Carbonation seems quite lively. Strong malt flavour. Rather rich, syrup like texture.Slight tangy finish with caramel.

Bomber aged about 18 or so months, drunk early 2008. Another pale old ale, this one being a deep amber, with a wispy white head and a clear filtered body. Quite estery in the nose, with peach, apple and other fruits presenting themselves. They are swallowed by a strongly malty vanilla-honey-almond note that leads to a light mustiness (bottling line bacteria?) that is apparent in many of Atlantics older bottles. The flavor is very sweet and underattenuated, with a big brace of honey, maple and vanilla cream-like sugars that are only (somewhat) kept from cloying the palate by the weak, thinned-out mouthfeel and low carbonation. Oxidation and some cidery/vinegary notes begin to creep in on the finish, while crackery/crusty malts dry out the finish somewhat. Alcohol is well-concealed. Could do without the spicy phenols too (clove mainly).

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of raisins, earthy, some rosey hints. Tastes caramelly and fruity with an earthy finish.
