Bomber. Clear orange amber with a dense white head. Big caramel nose, thick sweet malt, maple and toffee. The wheat emerges a bit in the flavor, but it’s boozy, hot and not real tasty, frankly. How can a beer have such a pleasant nose and taste so nasty?

Nov 14, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle,IL. and dispensed to a tulip glass with a deep copper/amber hue and off white, silky looking foam to the head, and a modest, curtainy rim of lacing. The aroma was immediate alcohol, light grain, mid-toned fruit notes, and malt sweetness. Alcohol also initiated the flavor, with less sweetness than the nose, a bitter and dry nature, a hint of caramel, and smooth malt to temper. A warming sipper!

Oct 24, 2009 The rust colored body was clear after pouring, and the head that formed was pretty small in size. The smell was that of figs and raisins, and did not exhibit typical wheat wine aromas like banana or clove. The taste was sweet as anticipated with brown sugar and vanilla being the most prominent flavors. Not very wheaty in this category either, with a smooth but simple taste. Not very hoppy, and hid the ABV quite well. Soft and delicate on the palette, with little aftertaste. Enjoyable, but too simplistic and rather nondescript.

Amber color with red hue; medium head. Aroma of sweet caramel, vanilla, Bourbon, alcohol. Medium body strength, strong caramel flavor, vanilla, but not well combined; a bit too bitter, and, mostly, a rather unpleasant sweet liquorice finish. Not convincing.

Sep 7, 2009 Bomber aged 2 yrs poured into snifter - deep amber red with small off-white head which settles to the sides. Aroma is very nice/[pleasant with sweet malt, brown sugar, honey, and new baked bread. Flavor is caramel, oak, brown sugar, sweet bread and a nice hop presence in the finish - tasty and nothing over the top. Alcohol barely noticeable. Definitely worth putting back and waiting.
