This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. B-Bomb achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Crystal-120, Munich, Roast Barley, Carafa-2, and Chocolate malts with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS BOURBON ABOMINABLE

Bottle (2020 edition) pour from Valley Beverage, Sherman Oaks. It's an opaque black with finger-width tan head with poor retention, decent viscosity and no lacing. Aroma is strong bourbon, caramel and dark fruits. Woody character as it sits. Taste is strong caramel and dark fruits, over bourbon and mild chocolate. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation, esophageal warmth and finish as taste. Overall, bourbon is not overblown, which is a plus, and good balance but was expecting a bit more.

From weihenweizen: pours dark brown with a pretty beige head. Aroma is bourbon, wood, vanilla, cake batter. Taste is boozy, somewhat bitter, woody. The barrel is doing a lot of work here but it is not soaking the beer too much. Spice, vanilla and burn. Nice stuff. This is a 2017 bottle FYI.
