Mar 31, 2009 22 oz. brown bomber bottle, with silk screened label. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep reddish amber color, with a sticky tan head. Aromas are of burnt sugars, deep fried dates, cheap bourbon. Flavors are about the same as the aromas. Medium mouthfeel, medium body.
OK to try once, & that’s it.

Mar 25, 2009 (bottle) A cherry-amber beer with little off-white head. Aroma is very sweet and fruity (cherry, apple, peach, grape), tart, notes of alcohol. Warm and full-bodied, soft mouthfeel. Sweetness from the aroma is nearly gone in the flavor - lots of warming alcohol, dry.

Mar 24, 2009 Bomber, at least a couple years old. Poured a lovely shade of translucent coppery-amber with a short, swirly cap of beige head. The aroma was very much on the sweet side with vanilla, bourbon, and caramel leading.. spicy accents from the wheat.. danced well across the nose. The flavor was centered around sweet toasted caramel and toffee with bourbon, vanilla, and brown sugar notes extending outward.. spicy and rather hot around the edges with some fruity notes and white pepper.. the finish was quick, dry, and hot. Heavier-bodied on the palate.. smoother and rolling on the front and hot and a bit cloying on the back with only a decent transition between. I don’t see explicit mention of bourbon in the description or on the bottle, but I swear this must’ve spent some time on wood. Quite tasty whatever they did!

Mar 22, 2009 On tap at the New Holland brewpub. Amber with a very thin white head. Aroma of alcohol, caramel and light fruit. Taste of alcohol, sweet malt, caramel, could use some hops to help balance it out a bit. Lightly carbonated and smooth, this one goes into instant warming after consumption, sticking to your chest and ribs leaving a sugary aftertaste.
