Feb 11, 2009 Bomber as old ale no. 8. Shared by KP- thanks! Pours a hazy amber and a thin head. Aroma is stale- oxidation wet paper and cardboard- plastic rubber phenolic and spicy with thinning brown sugar sweetnes. Toasty and brown sugar light maple sweetness- oxidation slight salt- meaty, solvent and orange liquor with pine-sol. Finishes a bit thin. Too old.

Mar 21, 2008 2007 bomber. Pours cloudy, turbid red-amber with a modest, short-lived head and no lacing to speak of. Strong, pleasant aroma of burnt sugar, toffee, bread and some sweet floral notes. Sweet, malty, molasses-like flavor with enough hops for balance and a touch of alcohol. Palate is quite thin and watery with a weak finish. Carbonation is moderately low. Otherwise smooth. Decent beer, but the body and finish are too weak for full enjoyment.

Mar 9, 2008 Bottle in trade from TURDFERGUSON, thanks Sam. Lots of stuff going on here. Some dessert like qualities as far as the flavors, some candy bar tastes.. lots of caramel-toffee and maybe something else.Lots might turn into too much for me to figure.

Feb 29, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s. Wow, only 22 ratings so far. Nice, sweet, old ale aromas. Don’t know how else to describe it. No dirty socks in my bottle. Flavor is a little muted and watery. Brown sugar, raisins, caramel. Good beer, underrated.

Nov 25, 2007 Updated: Sep 17, 2008650 ml. Clear dark copper brown with ruby highlights, and a small head that disappears. Earthy-spiced molasses and brown sugar aroma. Flavor is sherry, sweet earthy wood, cherries, toasted nut and rummy caramel. Palate is lighter than it ought to be (light-medium), watery, and dryish.

Nov 24, 2007 Grainy herbal nose with more dirty socks. Burnt caramel and astringent palate. DIrty astringent finish.

Nov 17, 2007 Strong aroma of roasted caramel, almost some chocolate. Not much hop, if any. Hazy amber color with no worthwhile head (bubbles). Thin to medium body with very mild carbonation. Starts with dark fruit and roasted caramel. Something reminiscent of dates. Pretty smooth. With some passage of time mild bitterness begins to show up and build up. It’s a malty thing, and the finish seems weak in hop. Still, it’s tasty, and something rare.
