A hazed dark copper brown ale with a thick collapsing mocha head, gusher. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light acidity. In mouth, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, fusel alcohol, infected mess. Not good for 10 years.

Refrigerated brown bomber poured into a snifter. Hazy bronze with small white head. Aroma is caramel malt, medium body, medium carbonation, and a little lacing. Taste is nice caramel malt.

Bomber from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours really dark brown with a creamy light tan head. A floral and chocolate aroma combo? Med+ body. Flavor seems quite floral, I do get chocolate, along with some heavy malt, but it’s a bit spicey and finishes not all that sweet. Quite surprising. I’m liking it.

Bottle shared by MrPickles. Thanks! Amber brown color. Sweet, malty aroma. Funky, not overly thick and sugary despite the ABV. Almost a funky Brett thing going on? Sweet and sessionable, with some spicy yeast notes. Cinnamon, clove.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin light tan head. The aroma has notes of alcohol and lots of spices and fruit, as well as notes of caramel. The flavor is quite sweet with strong notes of spices - cinnamon, caramel, bread, and alcohol, leading to a dry alcoholic and spicy finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.
