Bottle No lable Pours out a nice bright amber topped with a san head. Aroma of sweetness plenty of pit fruit and caramel. Tast was more of the same sweetness brown sugar, caramell the pit fruit. A big thanks to footbalm for this one. I never would have be able to try it. Thanks man!!!

Bottle courtesy of footbalm! from who knows when?....pours ruddy amber with a small off white head...aroma is sweet, sticky malt, dark fruit and caramel...flavour follows closely, with an almost charred molassas like richness...very nicely balanced with a hint of alcohol...Thanks a lot Eric!

22oz unlabeled bottle. Pours ruby amber, capped with a medium sized tan head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma exhibits a lot of toffee and fruit, with some burnt caramel and spice present as well; reminiscent of fruitcake. Flavor is caramel, alcohol, vanilla, brown sugar, and mild spice. Finish is primarily caramel malt, with mild hops and dark fruit adding balance. Age has been good to this.

22oz. bottle, unknown vintage. Aroma of sweet malts and dried fruits, with notes of brown sugar, raisin, spice cake and bubblegum esters. Hazy deep garnet color with fine lacing and a slight head. Flavor shows a high degree of sweetness, plenty of dark sugars throughout, along with lighter hints of carob, fig, candied cherry, madeira and anise. Very light bitterness and earthy hop tones on the finish. Alcohol presence is nearly undetectable. Smooth, thick, sticky and almost syrupy texture, effervescence is minimized but still present, body is quite full. Good for a cold, snowy night such as tonight. Cheers to boboski, wherever he may be.

Amber pour with no head and obviously low carbonation. Lots of toffee and caramel notes on the nose, somewhat oxidized fruits and some bready notes too. Nice sweet malty body, caramel, toffee, a touch nutty, some fruits, and aged bitterness that rounds it out. Mostly a sweet malty bw, but the age has rounded it out so pleasantly. Notes say "love it!"

Bomber that’s been in the cellar for a while. Poured translucent, fiery orange with a fine cap of beige head. The aroma was on the sweet and aged side with caramel, toffee, and redder fruits present.. there was a resonant warmth that worked well for it. The flavor was caramel-based with mild oxidation.. prunes and raisins join across the middle.. bitterness that used to be on the edges was replaced with prickly alcohol and a touch of brown sugar.. tasty! Medium-bodied and somewhat syrupy on the palate with low carbonation.. spicy and warm.. moved well across the palate. This is still doing aiight!
