Jun 11, 2009 From the bottle this beauty pous a copperish orange with a nice foamy white head and lots of lacing. Aroma of orange, spice, alcohol and hops. Taste of the same along with sugar, caramel and a little floral - a savior after a loooong day at work. This barley wine was just what the Dr. ordered. Is there a Stone brew out there that isn’t fantastic? Haven’t met it yet.

Jun 7, 2009 Bomber. Pours a deep brownish red color. Alcohol and hops very apparent in the aroma. Lots of hops and malt taste, bitter finish with a slight burn of the alcohol in this one.

Jun 7, 2009 Bomber. Pours deep auburn color, much darker than I remembered. Alcohol very present on the nose. Enormous huge flavor. I think this may need a little time to cool down. Very powerful beer. Lots of hops and other earthy flavors.

Jun 5, 2009 Pours a golden amber that is a bit hazy. Aroma is strong with malts, hops, and dark fruit. Notes of raisin, caramel, and a tad bit of pine stand out. On the palate, the feel was full and strong. The taste brought out the hops even more and added a bit of pine to the aroma. A great barley wine.

Jun 4, 2009 2009 bottle thanks to WeeHeavySD. poured a nice gold with a off-white head that stays and laces the glass. aroma of pine, citrus, caramel, and some slight dark fruits. flavor was much the same with the addition of grass and alcohol. the body was the first thing i noticed on this. body was full and slick with what seemed to be high carbonation. pretty good as is now, but i should of listened to some advice and cellar the beer longer.

May 30, 2009 bomber from grape & gourmet, 2008 release. pours a hazy, bright orange gold with a very thin, off white head with a ring of lace. aroma is great with big caramel malts, earthy hops, dried raisins, figs, mild citrus, and a hint of cider. flavor is outstanding with a wonderful balance of big, roasted caramel malts, toasted pistachio and bitter, earthy, citrus hops with a background of subtle chocolate, toffee, and pine notes. palate is full bodied and slightly syrupy with a well integrated, warming alcohol presence and a long, roasty, bittersweet finish. overall, one damn good barley wine.

May 28, 2009 Sampled both 08 and 09 bottles. The 09 was much more crisp and forefront in the hops, a warm resinous pine and earthy hops, chased with alcohol warmth. Hint of sweet fruit, caramel, raisin, just sweet enough.
The 08 lost a lot of the crisp resin of the hops, leaving an earthy warmth with stronger hints of brandied fruit and raisins, caramel malts and a roasty quality.
Sampled at Rozi’s Wine & Liquor, Stone Tasting Event, Lakewood, OH.
