Jun 7, 2009 Bottle at PilsnerPeter’s Spring Gathering. Deep brown beer. Aroma is very clean. Light sweet malt, toasted grain, a touch of plum. Light bitterness initially, but then finishes with a lingering toffee/caramel sweetness. A touch of light wheatiness. Well-made bock.

Jun 1, 2009 This was a bit strange. Brownish sludge color with a sweet and fruity, leather and cardboard aroma. Taste is sweet and a little ricey, like an imperial budweiser.

May 31, 2009 Bottle. Aroma of raisins and prunes, brown sugar, all rather muddy smelling. Flavor got a bit better with richer bready notes and leafy hops both balancing out the sweeter, overripe fruit notes, though still didn’t get the job done for me.

Apr 19, 2009 The 22 oz bottle came from the Market of Choice in Ashland, Oregon. It poured a very attractive cranberry red that was so dark it almost looked black. It raised a nice off-white head and very sticky lacing rings. Nose is of roasted malts. Mouthfeel is light and watery however. The flavor is malty, with a lot of woody nuances. The finish is mild and shows a little pine hops. A decent and drinkable bock.

Mar 4, 2009 Bomber from Market of Choice. Nice to see some solid brews coming from near where I grew up, even if it is our old high school arch-rival! Nice deep red pour with a light bisque head. Very flavorful and chewy beer with a bready consistency and some caramel, fruit and brown sugar. Smell is almost entirely malts, but a light pine hop in the rear. Very nice beer.
