Not my favorite style even though I am a Scot. Very typical. Not a stand out. But a good effort for a side project nonetheless. Swalden28 (1510), McKinney, Texas, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Bomber pours a clear and dark mahogany body with a small beige head that laces the glass well. Subtle aroma has toffee, roastiness, earthy hops, and a hint of coffee. Creamy carbonation and a smooth medium body. Taste has a dominant toffee and caramel maltiness. Lots going on in the taste, with a vague pome fruitiness, some plum, chocolate, dark bread, earthy hops, and more roastiness. Alcohol is well concealed but adds some warmth at the finish. Very drinkable, especially for style. Nicely constructed. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA
