Sep 4, 2009 Really good. Got to be tough to do a molasses brown. Got this bottle at Sam’s in Chicago a few months ago. Poured with a medium, tan head and a little lace. Color is an opaque dark brown. Aroma is very interesting: a brown with molasses, strange but they made it work. Also some chocolate, nuts, toffee, cocoa, dark fruits, and something else I can’t place. Flav’s the same. Pat says it reminds him of his grandma’s molasses cookies. Nice finish. Good body and carbonation.

Aug 17, 2009 Bomber from Archer Liquor. Pours a very dark brown with a smallish dark tan head. Aromas of dark malt, nuts and treacle. Full bodied with frothy carbonation. Flavor is treacle, dark roast malt, and some nuttiness. It’s bitter, and that seems to be from hop. Finishes a little gritty/dirty/earthy, a little coffee, and nicely nicely. What else can be said. It tastes good.

Aug 14, 2009 I thought this was a stout by the way it looked and smelled. Black, tan head and aromas or roasted malts. Flavor is milder than a stout and has some nuttiness and creamy caramel flavors. medium mouthfeel

Jul 30, 2009 dark brown, almost black, murky, under a small fizzy tan head. a good potent "brown" aroma. can’t beat it. tons of nuts, caramel, and toast. palate is a bit fizzy and too light. flavors are quite bitter with some nuts and caramel. also some minerally flavors and flowery hops.

Jun 25, 2009 Bomber courtesy of msante79 – thanks Mark! Pours deep dark brown with a big 3 finger tan head. The nose is cocoa, roasted malt and toasted oats. The taste is ashy cocoa, burnt malt, some dark fruit and piney hops in the finish. Medium, very prickly mouthfeel. Interesting beer, comes off more like a porter than a brown, with the mouthfeel of a saison. Good stuff nonetheless. Thanks again Mark!
