Bomber poured a clear dark brown nearly black with garnet highlights and a small lingering tan head. Aromas of oak, bourbon, brandy, cherry, tobacco and leather. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth. Flavors of bourbon, brandy, tobacco, leather, light cherry, light oak and hints of pepper with a smooth warming lingering bittersweet finish. Hides it’s alcohol well.
An absoulutly amazing beer! I wished I had picked up more when it was available.

Oct 5, 2008 Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks! Poured a hazy orange-brown color with an off white head. Smelled of booze (in a brandy-ish kind of way), dark fruits, and light flowery hops. Full bodied with a warming alcohol effect. Rich, complex flavor profile including the likes of bourbon, oak, vanilla, and milk chocolate liqueur. Sharp, spicy, bitter finish.

Sep 14, 2008 Thanks to bitbucket tasting. Light brown/dark amber. Sugary sweet chocolate and some caramel. Bourbon kick is fairly heavy, but pleasant. The base beer still does most of the work. Love it.

Sep 14, 2008 joey! Thanks man for this. Cola brown almost black pour. Huge vanilla, oak, caramel, and toffee aroma. Flavor is dominated with oak and vanilla, some booze, chocolate, toffee, and spice. Boozy finish, quite a bit of sweetness. Good carbonation.

Sep 12, 2008 22 oz. bottle @ liquid sunshine tasting - wow, never thought i’d be seeing this one; thanks yonkers65!!! dark cola brown, thin tan head; smells like chocolate cheesecake; huge, rich aromas that you can pick up well away from the bottle; thick, oaky, alcohol, wow, what a tasty brew this is; tastes like chocolate cake too; tons of texture, creamy thick body; candy in a bottle, but the sweetness doesn’t overwhelm; totally killed the 11 in a side by side; thanks again bruce for such a tasty treat

Sep 1, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev, jerc & garthicus - courtesy of garthicus. Ruby-brown with a wispy tan head. Aroma of wood, dark malt, vanilla and booze. Flavour is very strong, but tasty as hell, with lots of wood and bourbon, roast malt, caramel, and quite a hot finish. A very nice treat - thanks for sharing, Alan!
