Courtsey of Tony @ OTH. A very good and rare offering. Pours clear brown, with white head. Aroma and taste were very sweet, roasted with caramel. Oaky, leaving a liquor-like aftertaste.

Dark brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, caramel, whiskey and wood. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, whiskey, caramel, chocolate and alcohol. Good complexity and waming alcohol in the end. Nice!

Bottle. Dark mahogony brown beer with a little tan head. Sweet vanilla, caramel, bourbon aroma. Rich bourbon, vanilla, malt, toffee, caramel, oak flavor with a bit of chocolate, slight roast, and some brown sugar. Nice balance. Medium-plus body. Lingering brandy, caramel, malt, slight chocolate. Alcohol present, but nothing overpowering. Great beer.

Very dark brown color with a decent beige/tan head. Vinous, dark fruit, roasted malt and vanilla aromas. Full bodied with mild and creamy carbonation. Suddenly there are woody, spiritous notes over darkly roasted malt. Still getting vanilla - could be vanillan, but what’s the difference. A bit of heat bite with some really roasted/toasted malts. A fair woody aspect, and there are heavy spirit impacts. That said, this is smooooth and tasty. Does not finish perfectly dry, but the malt sweetness is clearly balanced by the hop? Well, something is contributing some bitter. Visit Naples and die? No, drink this first, and don’t bother with Naples.

This particular bomber required a long drive over to the Solana Beach BevMo where I was given the choice to buy one or two. I chose two.

Pours a beautiful deep clear brown with tan head. The aroma is full and rich with a lot going on in there. The first bit of the nose is sweet vanilla, chocolate, mild roasty malts and a bit of caramel. Soon the varied wood notes take over with oak, cedar-like notes and fresh douglass fur. Then the booze character enters the nasal arena with brandy, whiskey and pure alcohol along with a faint leather like funk way off in the background. OK, time to finally take a taste. Like the nose I get a bit of roasty malts that slowly turn toward vanilla, chocolate and caramel. The oak, cedar and other fresh wood notes surface soon after but are more subtle in nature than indicated in the aroma. Beyond midway to the finish the brandy, whiskey, oak, caramel candy sweetness and mild alcohol hotness all mingle together and slowly bring the experience to a close. What a treat this beer is. Yum. I enjoyed it more than the Firestone 10 (which I think needed more age when I rated it).
