Cask, 4.4%. Slightly buttery aroma. Hazy dark amber colour, small frothy head. The flavour is slightly sweet, some caramel and a little butter. A little fruity aroma hops in the finish along with a touch of alcohol.

Cask-conditioned at The Raven, Bath, 19/7/08. I sampled this in between the Cornish beer festival at The Star in Bath and the summer festival at The Royal Oak. The variety on offer was wide and generally high quality. Unfortunately, Bomber stood out from the crowd in a negative way, being one dimensional with plenty of caramel sweetness and not much else. Not one to try again.

(Cask at Pillars of Hercules, Soho, London 29 Apr) Dark reddish brown colour with brief off-white head. Malty, nutty nose with dark fruit and hints of dusty hops. Malty, nutty taste with notes of chocolate, dark fruit, prunes and balanced notes of dusty hops in a fairly sweet finish. Emphasis on the malt. Enjoyable.
