Bottle from the cellar unknown vintage but probably 10yrs old. Dark copper with a light red hue and a decent sized frothy tan head that persists. Light sherry but plenty of rich caramel and toast. Decent body moderate carbonation. Wow that's aged quite well.

22 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Opened 3/30/11. Pours a dark clear ruby color with a medium sized frothy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, berries and an earthy, almost peaty note. The taste is toffee, brown sugar, earthy notes and a bitter hop finish. Medium-full bodied. Nice beer.

Darker malts and higher hops make for a Scotch Ale that, as the kids at Burger King say, rules your face. The malts are the stars of the show, roasty and full of deep caramel, yet the hops trim up the fat, preventing the brew from growing saccharine-- you end up thinking of Tasgall as a brown ale in a kilt. Which is perfectly fine, when you think about it. What an original, under-appreciated brew. (12/5/08)

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pours dark brown with a hint of amber. The head is large, tan and pillowy. The aroma is coffee, hickory smoke, pecans, and milk chocolate. The flavor is a musty sweetness up front with a mild bitter finish. The palate is heavy and creamy. Overall, a unique, flavorful beer.

Bomber pours deep amber with lasting thin tan head. The aroma is sweet with malts mixing with burnt malts, chocolate, caramel, earthiness and some heat. The taste is also sweet with malts, syrupy sweetness, a dash of caramel and chocolate. Into the finish the flavor picks up additional notes of coffee and burnt malts helping to dry out the palate some.

22 fl oz bottle, thanks to thewolf. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a tan head. Fruity hops and light liqourice note in the aroma. Flavour starts sweet and soon shows a solid caramel malt base before the hops kick in and give a light spiced liqourice fruity flavour. Medium malty sweet and light hoppy finish with a medium dryness.

Bomber from Ross a long time ago; Nose of chocolate, caramel, with a smoky hint; clear cherry brown with a small, but glass-lacing straw head; flavor of toffee, smoke, and some roastiness; smooth drinking as I sit here drinking these winter beers on a 108 degrre day (under the AC of course)!

This is very good. Sweet and malty aroma. Flavor is sweet with fruit and port wine, as well as lots of malt and a light roasted character. Very heavy palate on this black beer. As good as it is, the flavors and aromas would benefit from more complexity.
