May 28, 2007 22 oz Bomber-poured a dark ruby red color w/a moderate off white head. Sweet roasted malt finish. Average taste of sweet roasted malt. Some bread dough & molasis. Smelled a lot better than it tasted, kind of bland & one dementional. Alcohol was evedent. Nice mouthfeel, but it just didn’t deliver for me. Not up to Avery’s usual standard.

May 24, 2007 Bomber, pours a very dark ruby with off-white bubbles, lots of sweetness with dark malt aromas, aroma of a fruitcake made with raisins and prunes, fruit, roasted malt, dark bread, some chocolate fragrance, a touch of alcohol on the nose, syrupy sweet and a sticky feel in the mouth, taste of dark malt, some brown sugar, has some dark bread and wheat flavors but disappointing, the flavor does not follow the aromas, there is a dry finish but it starts out thick and creamy and kind of oily syrupy on the palate, can sense the alcohol in the sip, as this warms the alcohol monster takes over, unfortunately, the flavor did not live up to the aroma, this ‘13’ is very unlucky.

May 21, 2007 Cloudy brown body with a long lasting small tan head. Nose is earthy, cloves and even a little nutmeg. I expected a dirty heavy bock but I was surprised by the soft silky body and its soft carbonation. Pleasantly soft body I’d say. Taste is rather complex or all-over-the-place depending at how you look at it. Tropical fruits under dry chocolate. Well hopped with woody and floral hops. Every sips I got different kind of fruity flavours. I won’t even bother listing them all. Spices are a bit less apparent in the taste but are there nonetheless. Finish has an interesting mix of cacao, woody flavours and floral hops. No alcohol presence. Interesting and original. 13 an unlucky number? Pfff. I’m about as superstitious as a pocket calculator.
