Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to LKS. Hazy amber beer, tiny pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, a little mustiness, just a touch. Touch of brown sugar. Modest ripe fruits. A little spice on the semi dry finish. Not bad. Lacks a bit of depth.

Bottle shared in London. Aged a decade or so. Pours unclear golden-brown with a small, creamy khaki head. Light to medium sweet, some toasted grains, somewhat harsh bitterness, dried toffee, earth, faint cardboard. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Bitter finish, odd that the bitterness is so harsh, grass, earth. Not the best.

Sample at the Blarney Wine tasting on 03/16/2013: Hazy deep copper color with a medium beige head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, caramel and grapeftuit. Medium to full body with flavors of bready malt, citrusy hops and a touch of vanilla. The finish is sweet with a citrus and malt aftertaste. Above average overall.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. +++ Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a cloudy caramel-brown color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was tangy sour caramel, a bit tart and had moderate notes of dark fruits and Pez. The flavor was sweet and tangy with a sour caramel note and elements of fig, raisin, molasses, pine, resin and bubblegum. There was a boozy presence throughout. The finish was long with sour caramel, molasses and pine lingering. Moderately full bodied. Decent but a bit of a disappointment for the style.

Bomber from Half Time. Pours amber with a small creamy/fizzy beige head. Aroma of warm toasted malt, with some brown sugar and possibly citrus hop. Flavor is lightly sweet caramel, with some development into brown sugar, and enough arguably citrus hop to hold down the sugar. It is lush in the mouth. Wish I knew the bottling date.
