Bottle. Copper beer with a slight tan head. Light malt aroma with some earthiness and light darker malts. Malt and caramel flavor with earthiness and light spice. Medium bodied - very smooth mouthfeel. Caramel and spice lingers with some light earth.

22oz bottle pours a garnet red color with a creamy off white head. Very grassy aroma with some bread and yeast in there. Dryness in the beginning with some sweetness to back it up. Slight caramel in addition to some smoke. Middle of the road and easily drinkable. Almost session material.

Deep garnet color with a very thin head. Hearty rye grain in the nose. Very appealing. Thin body. Flavor is classic double red with the rye bent. Hint of a soy sauce barrel. Dry, English, bitter Delicious beer.

Pours a dark mahogany/ lite brown with a white forming head. Smell of malts and a bit of rye. Great taste of hops. Great specialy grain brew. Glad to contribute to hope in 09.

Purchased single 22-oz bomber from Liquid Solutions.biz. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of dry multi-grain malt, some caraway, citrus zest and a hint of licorice. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of dry malt, licorice, some caraway seeds, a hint of floral hops and some citrus. Finish continues a semi-dry aftertaste with some green vegetable and caraway flavors.

Bomber. Poured clear caramelly-amber with a short (but easily-resuscitated cap) of beige head. The aroma picked up a heavy component of caraway seeds and rye over a caramel and toffee base.. sweeter overall and very enjoyable! The flavor had a similar caramelly base that also picked up some darker fruit.. darker spices and lots of caraway on the edges along with a touch of sourness.. warm and more complex at the finish. Medium-bodied with low carbonation on the palate.. toward the sweet side.. very enjoyable.

22 oz. bottle from BevMo (East Tucson) - Pours a clear deep copper color with a 3/4 finger thick light tan head. Light tiny spotted lacing. Flavor is mostly caramel malt with a touch of herbal hops. Has a fresh bread dough aroma. I don’t thick I’ve come across an aroma like that in a beer before. Odd. Has a slight cloying aftertaste. Medium body. Worth a try.
