Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a huge medium brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with notes of toffee and light residual sugar with light funky yeast notes. Taste is also a complex mix between some light funky yeast with heavy caramel malt with balanced residual sugar in the aftertaste – I don’t know if it is the color or what else but I almost had the feeling of drinking a stout though I knew full well it wasn’t. Body is quite full with great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very interesting beer with no real appurtenance to any style I know.

Bomber from Half Time. Pours really dark brown with a foamy beige/tan head. Aroma is mostly chocolate with some light malt and hop. Med plus body with foamy carb. Flavor starts chocolate and goes a bit woody as the chocolate leaves. Starts sweet finishes pretty dry. I think some coffee comes out eventually. Nice drink.

Tap at Rattle n Hum. Pours clear, dark brown with a medium, creamy off-white head. Lightly roasted malt aroma with some caramel. Flavor is sweet and malty with more caramel and bread notes. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more malty sweetness and some mild bitterness. Very good.

22oz bottle pours a deep, garnet brown with a creamy, slightly off white head. Nose is sweet, sugary, caramel, orange candies. Flavor is sweet, caramel, corn sugar, sweet dough. Finish is full bodied and sweet. Just too much sweetness all around.

Bottle at whole foods. Pours a nice dark brown and good aroma. taste is of light chocolate malt and is very easy drinking. Don’t get a ton else on this as its quite mild and my palate needs to punched in gullett to even get out of bed.

Bottle sampled at Firefly, pours medium brown with a light head. Subtle aroma of chocolate, nuts and roasted malt. Flavour of chocolate upfront (unusual for a brown ale), nuts, some sweet malt and vanilla. Very nice.
