This is a very good scotch ale. I’m trying not to be too swayed by the relatively low price ($4-5/bomber), but it certainly doesn’t hurt. The beer is a deep, ruby-highlighted brown with a small, fizzy beige head. The aroma is mostly nutty caramel and malted molasses. It has an almost floral honey tone. This is all classic and good scotch ale territory. It’s big and full with a touch of sweet wood smoke. No off-notes, no nonsense. This beer is a mouthful of caramel malt. It tastes fresh and earthy. The sweetness never overwhelms even without any apparent hoppiness. There’s just a touch of lightly bitter wood at the close. Smooth, full, creamy, rich. Drinks above its weight class.

Bomber from my friend Tim at the Bistro IPA Fest, Nose is sweetness and caramel, with hints of smoke and chocolate. Clear cherry brown with a small tan head. Flavor is lightly smoky and lightly sweet, with caramel and bitter chocolate. Pretty good

Draft. Dark brown with a small brown head. Malty aroma with some roastiness to it. Thick full roasted malt flavor with a slightly fruity side. Full bodied with a slight hop finish.
