| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Bomber - Pours a darkish amber in color with a medium white head that fades to a thin covering over the beer. Aroma is malty and sweet with hints of both floral hops and the barest of maple. Flavor is a pleasant mix of slightly sweet malts (cramel, toffee) to start, a definite presence of the maple and a medium amount of hop bitterness. Finish is clean and slightly bitter. I would have thought that the oats would give it a bit more body... a bit thin... but otherwise surprisingly pretty good. nramsburg (206), New York, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 16, 2009 Pours to a medium amber with a decent sized head. I want to like this one right off the bat -- good aroma with some caramel, pine, and what might be a bit of maple in there but beer was too warm to really get a full picture. Regardless, good aroma.
Smooth flavor with a good deal of resin present. Definitely more than I’m used to. A bit of Maple starts to come through on the finish.
For a reasonably 6 pack, this is a pretty good beer, but I can’t say I’d want to go for more than like 2 or 3 of these in one sitting.
I think it’s been written off a bit much by some of the other reviewers, and I say this as someone who has been underwhelmed with other Peak Products. This shows progress.
