Apr 5, 2008 Bomber. Poured deeper chocolatey brown with a short cap of beige head cropping up.. didn’t stick around very long, though. The aroma picked up a very nice blend of rich, aged caramel and molasses accented by smoked peat.. very malty and enticing. The flavor was also rich with the maltage, sporting chocolate, caramel, and roasted barley at the core with dry smoked peat laced throughout.. quite warm on the back of the palate with a sticky caramel finish. Medium-bodied with lower carbonation on the palate.. dry and sticky on the back.. decent balance. Overall a very good, eminently drinkable brew!

Apr 3, 2008 Thanks to ncvbc for this one
Bottle poured a dark reddish brown with a tan head which turns into a nice thick lace across the glass
Aromas of malts and bread with a hint of alcohol fill your nose.
Flavors of sweet caramel, malts, coffee and a slight hop bitter in the end
Medium mouthfeel with a smooth finish
Very drinkable ale enjoyed every drop of this one. will seek out again

Apr 2, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, SecretSanta]
Pours deep red mahogany with a small deep beige-yellow head. Super lacing. Okay duration. Aroma is vinious, lots of caramel and a good dose of fruity hops. Great, creamy mouthfeel. Sweet flavour, lots of caramel, toffee, lightly roasted, a touch (and just the right touch) of peity smoke. Great brew!

Apr 1, 2008 22 fl oz bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a tan head. Fruity hops and light liqourice note in the aroma. Flavour starts sweet and soon shows a solid caramel malt base before the hops kick in and give a light spiced liqourice fruity flavour. Medium malty sweet and light hoppy finish with a medium dryness.

Mar 27, 2008 22-oz bottle received via trade with elmatador00; thanks James. Pours dark brown with a small, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with spare lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), light hops (pine), average yeast (leather) with notes of dates and apple. Medium bodied, gritty texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.

Pours a rich murky brown with a light short lived tan head. Smell is lightly of peaty smoky malt. Taste is actually lightly hoppy to accompany the peaty quality and has a roasty, cocoa like quality to it as well. Not my style of beer at all, but this wasn’t bad.
