Sep 27, 2007 Great color on the pour. Dark, coffee-ish amber. Tastes of, i believe the previous writer is correct, a meaty feel...something along the lines of a well cooked red meat. Slight hint of caramel follows. Very nice, balanced and complex.

Sep 27, 2007 Pours a perfectly clear and very dark ruby/garnet with a tan head that falls to nothing after a bit. Nose is piney hops. Flavor is firm with those piney hops. It’s no hop bomb. It doesn’t try to blow you away. It is a smooth and even flavor profile that provides an excellent drinking experience. Feel is decent on the liquid with a slightly meaty feel and teh carbonation is good too. Overall a very drinkable brew. Seeing as how this is an anniversary brew and it is not one that is trying to blow my tastebuds out of the water, I have to wonder if this might just be the direction these breweries are heading in that have been open for 10+ years. A maturely brewed beer that doesn’t have to show off to be good? Hmmmm. Perhaps a sign of brewing skill?

Sep 17, 2007 Updated: Sep 25, 2007This is well balanced, being quite hoppy, yet still well-rounded and fairly complex, with a nice rich flavour. The result is that, happily, the hops do not overpower all else to leave a one-note beer. It’s very satisfying, with a great reddish-brown colour and a substantial, thick, foamy head.

Sep 17, 2007 On tap at Stone Wold Bistro. Clear, dark mahogany copper-red with a dense, creamy light tan head. Bright, fresh, pine resin hops over earthy and dark citrus hops characteristics along with subdued caramel malt. Light hops flavors with a medium malt presence and a roasted/caramelized malt profile. Unfortunate light body for the style throws off the experience in the end. An excellent beer overall.

Sep 13, 2007 Bomber from Canal’s in Berlin NJ. Clear dark cherrywood pour under a medium light khaki head. Pretty nice lacing. Sweet aroma with notes of toffee, brown sugar, and a hint of pepper. Primarily malty flavor but with a couple stiff hop rails keeping the sweet flavors of caramel, butterscotch and milk chocolate driving towards an longish sweet but somewhat dry and hoppy finish.
