Mar 22, 2008 Bomber bottles sampled twice, once by myself and once at Redlight thanks to Beerlando:
Nearly opaque with a nice creamy head which left a clinging lace. The aroma has notes of chocolate, vanilla, tobacco, fig, plum, toast, molasses, and walnut vapours. The taste starts with a rich malty and ripe fruit character along with some liquorice and molasses twang. Slight hop spice and smoky notes upon the finish. The mouth feel is oily and lush with sharp edges, moderately dry finish. A pretty nice beer and very enjoyable but no Perkuno Hammer, RIP Heavyweight.

Mar 22, 2008 From Bomber - Dark, with a medium weight tan head which dissipates quickly. LIttle or no lacing on the glass after it’s gone. The aromas are subdued, the taste carries a lot of soy and bitter chocolate. I would have expected this to be thicker from the looks of it but it is medium in weight.
a solid brew.

Mar 21, 2008 Deep and dark in color with a chocolate head that slowly fades. This has a mild smoke taste but the chocolate really comes to the front on this one. It has a thick malty sweetness that also stands out. Victory just keeps putting out solid beers and this is no exception

Mar 21, 2008 On tap at the Bocktown in the Robinson shopping complex, Pittsburgh. Head fades to a tea froth. Darker rootbeer color. Some cool roasty aroma but mostly just clean. Darler bitter charcoal flavors that continue over to the lasting lingering finish.

Mar 20, 2008 THOUGHTS: A nice beer but a bad re-creation of Perkunos Hammer. It was missing that sourness and had too much hops.
TECHNICAL: On tap at the Drafting House in Exton at the beers release party. Poured a dark brown with orange highlights and a light tan head. The aroma was chocolate syrup and sweaty yeast along with pine and citrus hops and some dark, sour fruit. The initial flavor was lightly sweet and bitter while the finish was moderately sweet and bitter and moderately acidic. The flavor was chocolate syrup, citrus and pine hops and some fruit, but not that much. The medium body was syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a moderate to heavy astringent finish.

Mar 20, 2008 22oz bomber. Deep amber color, almost black. Aroma is fresh but subdued, some hops and chocolate noticeable. Rich, sweet, and creamy in taste. A very complex finishing beer, with lots of toffee and caramel notes. This is a great Baltic porter.

Mar 19, 2008 Bomber->English Pint: pours an average, light brown, but diminishing head atop of a almost completely, black body. The malt aroma is light, has a hint of cookie, and caramel. The hops are lemony, and the yeast has a tinge of cheese. The body is medium, the texture is thick, no carbonation, and the flavor’s duration is long; sweetness is light, as is acidity and bitterness. Perhaps a hint of coffee in the taste as well.
I enjoyed this beer and it’s definitely a winner in my book.
