Commercial Description:
Unlike the lighter "Scottish" ales, this is an authentic heavy Scotch ale. It is lightly hopped with a strong malt character, and a hint of peaty smokiness. Warm fermentation produces fruity esters and balances the sweet malt character.

22oz. "bomber" served in a tumbler- poured a semi transparent dark brown-ruby, low carbonation at the end of the glass, white ring for a head. Aroma of a hearty caramel malt, malt is hard to distinguish from an alcohol base (sorry, it’s there), with notes of plum and dark cherries- let’s give this brew a chance. Hits the mouth with a high-medium body, this wasn’t the hardest brew that crashed my palate today, but it’s trying, middle has an alcohol burn, finish still burns, yet, lingers for more. This brew is a "closer"- after "Jane" wouldn’t let you play with her "kitty", just drink this, go home, and see some free porn. Dumbasses. Plural. Hmm...yep, sure did say that.

A hazy burgundy color beer with no head. Aroma was dried fruit. Taste was caramel, dried fruit, & had a watery taste. A very smooth beer.

Pours a ruby colour with a small creamy white head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Toffee, cream, and sweet fruit. Watery palate. Sweet and simple. Dried apricots, toffee, and a oaky finish. Peat??? This is pretty pedestrian,.

Oh man, what can I say about the Kilt Lifter ! Truly a new favorite of mine... dark, rich color, dark plenty of flavor and a nice finish. Very Malty (but not syrupy) and lightly hopped. Happened apon the brewing co by chance.. glad we did. Took a growler home with us, whjich is rare that I like one that much.

Pours brown/amber frothy tan head fades quickly. Aroma is a lot of brown sugar and sweet fruit. Taste is the same. Medium-thin body, low carbonation. Some lingering sweetness and roast.

Bomber from Barrios’ Massechussetts Trip Tasting. Pours a near clear orange with faint ring of near white head. Aroma is mild, bready, with sweet dried fruits. Great peaty smokiness in the flavor with some molassis. Great smokey beer! One of the best scotch ales I’ve had. And a great name to boot!
