Dec 31, 2006 Burnet caramel, alcohol, marzipan, some floral notes and vinous fruits in the salty aroma. Clear, dark, mahogany brown body is topped by a low tan head that recedes to cover. Sweet flavour has plenty of nutty marzipan, dark pit fruits, molasses, caramel and alcohol. Some dark malt bitterness in the finish. Medium body with low carbonation and strong alcohol warming. Bottle sampled with BeerPrince, CapFlu, frink and Oakes.

Oct 19, 2007 The beer departs the 22 ounce brown bottle a deep brown with nice ruby highlight, the head is tan in color, the texture creamy and the size about two fingers, as it decomposes, the lace forms a tight skirt upon the glass. Nose has a nice fruity aroma, cotton candy like, hints of malt also present. Start is nicely malted, sweet with a moderate to full feel to the palate. Finish has a determined acidity, the hops pleasant, somewhat sweet and dry the aftertaste lingers long on the palate, quite good in my book.

Sep 28, 2006 Deep dark black in color with a little tan head. Fruity malty aroma. Caramel fruity raisiny notes. Malty caralmel and fruity flavor. Thin bodied. It would be better without the alcohol aftertaste. Thanks for the trade JB.

Jun 26, 2007 Dark brown color; thin head, not persistent. The aroma is light, with caramel and very light roasted malt. The body strength is ok, with dominant caramel flavor, also malt, roasted malt, liquorice and a light sourish note, probably the wheat. Closer to a Barley Wine than anything else, but not impressive.

Aug 1, 2006 Deep ruby. Spicy wheat-prune-banana nose, a little hint of fresh cowshit, which is actually better than it sounds. Spicy clove and cinnamon flavor, thick and chewy. Some considerable alcohol, thick and malty, sweet alcoholic finish, warming. Solid, if unspectacular big beer from Avery.

Jun 21, 2006 Pours very dark brown with an attractive tan head. Aroma has heavy bananas, rich malt, bits of roastedness and decent bit of alcohol. Full bodied beer with soft carbonation. Thick malt taste that is quite roasty with dark banana flavor and no hiding of the alcohol here. The finish has some spice to it and some vinious qualities. The alcohol is just too prevalent throughout the whole experience to be very enjoyable to me. It seems like far too often raising the ABV takes higher priority than taste with Avery.

Jul 16, 2006 Clear brown with reddish hues, low head production. Caramel, toast, and chocolate aromas; tingling carbonation but a sense of being a little thin (though there is some sweet stickiness that makes this effect moderate if anything); decent flavors up front, including a strong banana streak, with notes of alcohol, leather, and burnt sugar (as when cooking) in the end. Not bad. I’m glad I shared the bomber with my mother-in-law; I wouldn’t have wanted the whole thing.

Jun 23, 2006 Cloudy auburn with a red tint, this brew has a small but retentive tan head with decent lacing. Tiny bubbles. Malty aroma with a slap of quick alchohol at the end of a whiff. Flavor is sweet and malty throughout with a potent alchoholic kick at the end of the swallow. An unusual flavor akin to soy sauce plays a interesting, but not overwhelming role.
