Mar 20, 2008 Bomber. Red and brown clear filtered body. Big toast and charred bread crust and walnut nose. Hoppy but far too starchy and coarse on the palate, tastes like burnt chestnuts, toasted bread, stale bran, and mashy graham crackers. Really, really terrible about halfway through a glass.

Dec 31, 2007 Bomber: This pours a light, clear orange tinted brown body with a decent beige head that, alas, disappears too quickly, leaving some bits of spotted lace in its wake. It’s got an aroma of toffee, hard nuts, and a mild earthy bitterness. You can distinguish the hazelnuts in the flavor, but the malts and hops take on a bit of a dirty, dusty feel. Odd choice for a Winter special. Friar Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Bloomington, IL
JPDIPSO (4286), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
Feb 6, 2006 Copper color with a modest taupe head. Aromas of a holiday coffee. Roasted malt, light coffee, caramel, hazelnuts and some wet grass scents. Light and smooth on the palate. Quite dry throughout. A dry nut bread flavor, with mild toffee, nuts, dried flowers and a hint of molasses. If you like hazelnut and a dry brew, this one is for you. A less than exciting brown ale, at best.
