Aug 3, 2009 22 oz. pours a nice amber with an aroma of roasted barley / walnuts. the taste is thick with malt and even hop bitterness. a creamy mouth feel, with lasting oak on the tongue. this is a nice beer, just a bit heavy for my taste.

Jul 26, 2009 Bomber at PPRBSG. Pours a hazed up brown amber with a foamy somewhat lasting beige head. Aroma is a bit oxidized as the bottle is at least 3 years old, dusty chocolate, older caramel malts, toast, nutty soy and pepper notes. Flavor has a slight oxidation as well- some wet paper and light soy- toasted malts, crackery, toffee, molasses and brown sugar sweetness, dull leather and earth, some charred roast malts, and a drying fruity finish but still nice and smooth- a bit too old maybe.

Jul 25, 2009 2005 bottle courtesy of cletus. Pours a cloudy orange amber color with a small disappearing ivory head. The aroma was sweet sticky citrus, toffee malts, brown sugar, fruity with no real signs of hops. the flavor opens with a heavy dose of sweet caramel/toffee malts and fruits. The finish adds more of a dry, somewhat bitter, woody character. The alcohol does make itself known from time to time. I enjoyed this and would like to do a comparison to newer bottles.

Jul 14, 2009 Poured from a bottle on a recent Seattle trip. Dark brown with a thin off white head. Smell was of sweet malt. Super smooth and creamy in your mouth. Full robust body. Delicious flavors of caramel, malt, bread, toffee. Really good finish on the sweet side. Alcohol really hidden. Great beer.
