Bomber from Imbibe Wine. Nose is woody, sweet, alcohol, with hints of butterscotch and maple. Lightly hazy yellow orange with a small yellow tinged head. Flavor is sweet (woody birch syrup I think) with a bit of bitter and a cross of light corn whiskey alcohol.

Bottle split at the Kernel, thanks initially to an IP trade with Ronny - r of the g of the l and the k, 09/11/13. Very lightly hazed rich golden with a thin off white covering. Nose carries a lightly tartened fruit punch, caramel, dark fruits, light yeast notes. Taste comprises dark fruit, spice, candied sugars, caramelised orange peel, toffee fudge, light hop bite, booze evident. Full bodied, fine carbonation, boozey finish with a little heat. No world beater but a solid enough American Strong.

Bottle shared at The Kernel - many thanks to Colin Soprano. Pours clear yellow with a frothy white head. Nose of pale bread, mild straw and ripe lemon. Big sweet flavor with rich, bready malts, faint honey and caramel. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Very sweet to finish with more rich pale bread, some pine needles. So so.

Bottle, thanks to Colin. It pours pale gold with a thick white head. The nose is sherbet, orange, mandarin, tangerine, straw, hay, cream cheese and Hovis biscuits. The taste is bitter, piney, hay, straw, white grape skin, grapefruit, alcohol, peppery and tangerine skin with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. A bit hot perhaps, but still pretty tasty.

Flaska från SB. Mörk bärnstenfärgad vätska med krämvitt skum. Maltig doft med aromer av citrus, grape. I botten framträder en tråkig doft av bränd plast. En kemisk smak av något härsket tar överhand i smaken. Mycket eldig munkänsla. Lång eftersmak.

Bomber from Whole Foods. Pours a lazy orange color with a small white head. A big sweet nose of syrup and wood, some fruit. The flavor likewise is dominated by sweet sugary syrup, leather, some wood, fruity sweet malts. A light pine bite. Pretty nice really. Interesting, which is a good thing. Pretty smooth.
