Tannen Bomb has been rated third in the nation and seventh internationally in its class by the Beverage Testing Institute for two years in a row. This is a classic Strong Ale with over one hundred and ten pounds blended Pale, Carastan, and Crystal malts per barrel. This is a beer of true character and distinction. The bold malt complex is well balanced and refined with generous hopping of Chinook, Liberty, and Fuggles, and dry-hopped with Kent Goldings for an aromatic

Draft. A hazy amber beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, which gives it notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with quite a lot of alcohol and malt as well as a touch of whiskey.

Hazy copper body with small beige head. Aroma is strongly spiced (ginger, cinnamon, clove). Taste is spiced (ginger, clove, light orange peel), finishing with pine/grapefruit. Light alcohol warming. Medium body. The mix of spices evokes Christmas.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium copperish / amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Lots of suspended floaters. Aromas of caramel, toasted malts, nutty, and some dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, dark fruits, and toffee. Alcohol content well hidden.

Ruby brown, light off-white cover. Juicy cherries and fat diacetyl jam/margarine. Vegetal leaning on the tongue with an almost carrot roots reminiscent mellow bitterness. Dry finish reminds of a red wine. Oily juicy texture. Surprisingly uninteresting. Very well masked abv.

(Bottle) Pours a mahogany body with a moderate creamy off-white head. Complex nose of Christmas fruit cake dominated by cherries and nuts, caramel, clove, and other spices. Flavor of breadiness, fruit, and caramel with a chewy and alcoholic finish.

Pours a transparent copper bronze with a nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma of earthy English hops and sweet pale malt. Body starts with a full earthy caramel malty sweetness with some drier bittering hoppy notes and a touch of light fruity complexity. A nice English strong ale that hides its alcohol well.

The Lure:
Diacetyl apples and caramel cherries repulse most, save for those with a fat tooth.

The Festivities:
Yeasty bitterness and miscellaneous fruit thankfully are left alone by the looming butter monster. It’s only a question of time though I’m sure. Body is light and boring, and does not nurture nor does it encourage quaffing.

Transcendence:
Too much butter is bad for the heart.
