Pours deep mahogany into a snifter. Mocha head with good retention recedes to mottle surface. Sour chocolate and pit fruit aromas. Thick with sweet dark caramel, sour pit fruit, toffee, and mild metal before the lasting iron and oak finish. Complex.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe in Davis, CA. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan head. The aroma of sweet booze is strong. Some light vanilla. Touch of dark rum. Full bodied. Flavor is dark fruit (like cherry and plum), vanilla, chocolate, light rum, treacle, and perhaps light maple. There’s a lot going on in here; there’s even a light sour note (very light). It isn’t very sweet, feels like it’s going to go dry, but it doesn’t. When I try, I think I can find astringent oak. Heat is not an issue. This is either a complexly marvelous blend or something of a mess. I’m seeing mysterious graphics in the smear left after the head left. This inspires me to affirm this is a complexly marvelous blend.

Unexpected bottle 2 of evening. Pours deep brown with thin head. Nose of toffee and dark fruits. Tastes of caramel, bourbon, figs, plums, cola, earth, soy sauce, and cherries. Nice carbonation and sweet finish. Pretty decent offering although just a touch too sweet or it’d be excellent.

Bottle (marked as bottled 3/6/2012). Pours with a near black body with a large brown head with good retention and lace. Aromas are of prunes, plums, raisins, dark fruits, pear drops, estery, bourbon, rye, spicy oak, fusel, oak, brown sugar, maple. Shockingly estery. Flavors are very sweet, burnt brown sugar, marzipan, molasses, dates, medium yeast character, marshmallow, flan, medium bitter and some char. Nearly cloying, full bodied, syrupy with light carbonation and light warming.
