Jun 10, 2007 Clear darker brown pour with ruby redness. Thick tan head. Heavy aroma of malt and molasses, toffee, sugar, hops, and a bit of fruit. Complex taste. Malt and sugar up front, very reminiscent of a tripel. Fruits and bread in the middle, with some cherry and tobacco. It lingers for a bit before the dryness of the hops kick in. Some smoke and metal with the hops, and a semi-dry finish. I’ve never had anything like this before.

Jun 29, 2007 Looking forward to this for sum time after speaking with Avery..
.Pours the brownest of the browns..
.has at least a 2-3 finger power coppertone head.
..smell is actually quite similar to bigfoot but with a lighter burnt fruit smell profile.
..Taste is of smoke,fig,plum,bitter coffee, lots of dark oddland fruits- interesting to say the least.
..Very enjoyable..
.Smooth as silk, and the alcohol is sooo well masked!.
I think this is worthy of an anniversary brew!

Jul 13, 2007 I was rather surprised by this beer: the "strong ale" category is a mile wide but is usually pretty hoppy, and this beer is more grapey and Belgian tasting than American strong ale hoppiness. The beer pours a dark red-brown with a sweet malty dry roastiness in its aroma which was extremely pleasant. The flavor is big and sticky with a grapey mouthfeel upfront which transitions to a chocolate-y roastiness at the rather dry finish. Mouthfeel is clean and smooth. This beer is delightful.

Oct 7, 2007 Bottle. [shared with faroeviking @ Plan B, thanks to Plan B for a taste of this!]
Pours a deep nutty red-black with a small creamy beige head - lots of lacing. Aroma is hoppy, lightly roasted with a touch of chocolate. Flavour is round, roasted, dry, chocolate and still light and fresh. A touch vinious, but never alcoholic. This is a wonderful brew!

Jun 22, 2007 Bomber. This beer surprised me and I don’t know why. For some reason I wasn’t expecting much, but I thought this was very tasty! Certainly a dark brown pour with small head. I smelled sweet coffee and molasses. The flavor is sweet and has a chocolaty coffeeish malty thing going on. It seems difficult to ’categorize’ this, there is some porter, some stout, some abbey dubble, with a tad of ipa tossed into the mix. Very tasty indeed!
