May 4, 2008 22 oz Bomber-12/6/07 (case dated)-Poured a clear orange copper color w/almost no head but good lacing. Sweet aroma, flavors of sweet honey, apricot, peach, cane sugar & caramel. Has quite a kick & warms you up, but the high alcohol doesn’t overwelm you. Long, sweet finish. Very enjoyable

May 3, 2008 Bottle, 2008. Cloudy, deep, orange-ish copper with small ring of white creamy head. Citus aroma with alcohol and notes of mildly roasted malt. Sharp, bitter taste of resiny hops with an alcoholic finish and wamth. Could not drive (legally) after this one.

bright orange tint, tall white head clings thin. candied sweet aroma and a spicy, alcoholic taste. alcohol level somewhat burns on the palate. Would advise at least a year wait.

May 1, 2008 Thanks abcfan. Poured a nice thick peachy copper with a one finger creamy light amber head. The nose was much sweeter than I would expect from Stone, figured it would be a bitter hopbomb, sweet, caramel, very malty, citrusy, mainly some grapefruit peel, a little alcohol. The flavor is similar, alcohol could be much worse, sweet, malty, a little bitter, citrusy, grapefruit peel at the sides of the tongue. Finish is initially sweet and gives way to a warm bitterness.

Apr 27, 2008 Poured chestnut with ample white head. aroma was malty and very fruity, lots of english ale esters. Flavor was a bit too much of a competition between malts and hops, a very busy beer, but it improved as the drink when on. Very malty and very bitter, finishing very resiny. full mouth feel. decent, but I expected better.

Apr 26, 2008 There’s good bitter and there’s bad bitter. This fell way to far on the bad bitter end of the spectrum. It reminded me of when you chew on an aspirin and it feels like the taste is never going to leave your mouth. Poured a nice ruby color with a decent long lasting head. Smell was pretty nice. I’ve definitely had better barley wines.
