Oct 3, 2009 Appearance: Pours out a clear, dark amber body layered with a sudsy, white head.
Smell: Aroma smelling of caramel-coated malts, hints of toast, hints of bread, citrus fruits, spicy herbs, and just a touch of standard pine.
Taste: Malty beginning with bready, faintly grainy tastes and a decidedly candied caramel sweetness. Hops display citrus, pine, and an earthy herbal quality as well as even a hint of spiciness. Medium-high bitterness present. Some additional fruitiness lurking within. Finishes bittersweet.
Mouthfeel: Just a hair above medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A bit reminiscent of Stone’s Arrogant Bastard and Terrapin’s Big Hoppy Monster, but that could just as easily be the deranged thoughts of a alcohol-ravaged mind. A nicely bold brew that offers plenty of malts, hops, and satisfying booze.

Sep 12, 2009 cracked corn, plywood, resin. Light amber w/ persistnet off white head.. Drying on the tongue, doesnt quite flow. Almost peachy first impression, then light malt., a ctirus- resin hop blend, rough, bitterish finish

Sep 4, 2009 22 oz bomber,
Dang all froth with a careful pour..I hate these types of bottled beers.
After the froth monster calms down it appears to be a murky brown ale, with still a huge tan head..thick and bubbly.
Aroma? quite subdued but i get English toffee malt hints..
Taste is mainlly malty,,sweet ,caramel, fudge.Little hop in the end lucky i like sweet malt-bombs!
Palate is just fine for style, thick yet smooth, goes down well ,sweetness isnt too cloying.
Over all a nice enough beer but does not distinguish itself.

Jun 20, 2009 22 oz bomber via Hagen. Pours a dark copper with a small head an almost no lacing. Nose is caramel, candy, spice. Tastes like a typical winter warner. Malty, spicy, with some earthy hops in the end. A little roasted grain, some english yeast and nuttiness as well. Body is medium, carbonation a bit high for my liking. Dry. Good for what it is..just not my cup of tra...Ok but not something i would want too often. Maybe on a cold cold winter eve...

Jun 13, 2009 Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Pours amber with an off-white/beige head. Aroma is floral over roasted malt. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is fruity, malty, definitely bitter. Then in the end it’s really bitter. A good drinkable ale. A bit of sweetness up front, but pretty much gone in the finish.
