“In place of hermeneutics, we need an erotics of art” wrote Susan Sontag in her seminal 1964 essay Against Intepretation. Good news for us: food and drink scratch the itch for indulgence and hedonism more than other arts. We could yap all day about to justify our work, but perhaps that is unnecessary and even counterproductive. We present this blend with minimal explanation, a commitment to experience and pleasure only. Please enjoy. Or don’t. But do not analyze.

Bomber, 2025 vintage. Roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, bourbon and oak. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and a thin ring of lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with caramel, vanilla and bourbon flavors. Simple, but elegant bourbon barrel stout. Wonderful!
