Some maltiness to it along with caramel and grain. Not much of an aroma. Thin on the palate as well. Average at best. Had it on tap at the GLP.

Draft at DRE. Dark coppery brownish pour wirh aroma of heavy vinous fruit, some brown sugar, and some caramel malt. The flavor is slightly brown sugary and caramelly, but is dominated by a tart vinous low end krieky element. It gets a bit sour as it warms.

Poured a watery looking maple brown from the bomber with almost no off white head. Malty aroma but also quite grainy, like a loaf of fresh baked bread. Very grainy and malt flavor, which I enjoyed alot. Sweet and maybe slightly bitter. Finish brings the roasted malt which is also sugary and sweet. This beer is easy to drink and can please a crowd. Might not be complex enough for the educated drinker.

Dark brown color with a strong choco-charred smell. Pretty good with a nice smoothness to it..

this beer was very non-offensive. Not great but very smooth with a sweet lingering finish. Pours a dark lether brown with virtually no head. Aroma is sweet and almostly chocolate like.

Bomber. Well I will make this quick - this beer kind of sucks. The aroma is a burnt chocolate, actually offensive a bit. Taste is hollow roast. Imagine a roasty flavor with all the positive aspects removed. A completely water-like aftertaste. This is my second Rock Art beer and possibly my last.

Bomber - Poured a sort of reddish brown with a light tan head. Aroma was of roasted malts and fairly strong of noble hops. Flavor was not as pronounced as I would have expected; compared to the aroma. Faint hazelnut in the aroma. Finish is fairly hoppy, but not too bitter. Average...

Hazy red/brown color with a little white film. Hazelnut aroma. Smells strong enough to be extract? Nutty and nice. A weaker version of rogue’s hazelnut necter.
