Aug 18, 2009 This RB average of 3.27 is bullshit. This beer has much too much flavor for that. Presents much like a scotch ale - very sweet, peaty, smoky/roasty. Otherwise, presents much like a strong porter. Yum.

May 4, 2009 Bomber. Poured deep old ruby red with medium lasting beige head. Full aroma of caramel, malt, raisin. All over the mouth malty flavour, a bit of sugar, a bit of alcohol. Lasting malt finish with a biscuit tinge.

Jun 20, 2009 Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Aroma is an appetizing batch of rich malts and freshly brewed caramel on top of dry fruity background. Viewed as a dark brown hue accompanied by a perfect half inch thick creamy head. The flavor is smooth and robust with a usage of high quality malts and semi sweet caramel. In my opinion this is an excellent try at an altbier which is why i give this a high score.

Oct 7, 2009 Bottle: Mahogany ruby color with tan head, nose of oak, berry and molasses. Sweet maple and rich malty goodness. Pleasing caramellized flavor, intense but subtle balanced hops and light alcohol. Barleywineish but a slight roasty note.

Oct 17, 2009 Bomber. Aroma of sweet malt, raisins; I’ve had barleywines which smell pretty similar to this. Pours dark brown with a decent head, decent lacing. What do ya know, it tastes like barleywine, with raisins and molasses being the dominant flavors. Hop bitterness, alcohol in the aftertaste. Not too bad.

Jun 13, 2009 Bottle. Mahogony beer with a tan head. Light malt and light caramel aroma with light spice and light earth. Caramel flavor with light spice and light earthiness. Medium-plus bodied. Caramel/toffee lingers with light earth and very light roast - a bit of a concentrated malt feel. Alcohol well hidden.
