Lovingly referred to by Fremonters as the B-BOMB, this bourbon barrel-aged edition of our winter ale has a warming spicy aroma and rich carmelly notes of bourbon, wood and vanilla added to dark roasty chocolatey malt flavors and subtle hopping.

2019 Bottle from Tavour, 12/21/21. Pours a dark brown color with a medium brown head and moderate lace. Nice aroma of bourbon / vanilla, roasted coffee, cinnamon. All are nicely balanced. Boozy, but not too boozy. Not too sweet. Mildly bitter. Rich, flavorful, and quality. At 14% it is dangerous, but still enough of a sipper (and tasty both cold and closer to room temp), that it drinks great. B-Bonb is one of those beers I feel like I've been hearing about for many many years, and I think it lives up to the hype. Coffee and cinnamon work great with the base beer. Really nice stuff. 8/4/9/4/18

Flaska från Beer Republic, 2019. Bruntsvar med brunbeige krona. Kryddig, ganska skarp arom av kaffesump och kanel. Nästan lite aska. Torrare, mellanstor kropp. Väldigt skarp kanel och kaffe även i smaken, tillsammans med anis, fat och choklad. Nästan lite svårt att känna grundölen för smaksättningen. Kanelen ger en kanske lite väl torr och stram känsla.

2017 edition. Pours black, medium small, tanned head. Scent is strong, cinnamon, mild bourbon. Tad chocolaty. Taste is full, thick, chocolate, cinnamon. Coffee is very mild. Recognizable BBA. Nice enough , even as a person who doesnt like cinnamon.

0,66l bottle at Saeglopurs shared by me. Vintage 2019. black color, small coffee colored head. smells herbal, coffee, cinnamon, spices, very nice smell. full body, light carbonation. tastes of coffee, vanill, cinnamon, bit boozy, lightly herbal, marzipan, nutty, bourbon. finishes lightly sweet with notes of cinnamon, bourbon and vanilla notes. very nice one, but a bit on the herbal side, did not age that well, expected a bit more to be honest.

650 ml waxed bottle, 2019vintage, shared by Werckmeister, thanks! Dark brown body, with a medium, creamy, dak beige head. Aroma with lots of cinnamon, coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa powder, tobacco, some dark fruits, some bourbon, some vanilla. Tastes quite similar, with some more burn notes, some booze. Medium, quite creamy mouthfeel, with an average carbonation. Finishes boozy, spicy, burnt, roasty, with tobacco, cocoa powder, cinnamon, coffee, some liquorice. Very nice, while I was expecting a bit more. Some burnt notes in the taste that disturb the balance a bit. Otherweise really nice cinnamon and roasty notes. A bit on the boozy side, but not too overwhelming. Nice sipper. Score: 8 / 4 / 7 / 4 / 16

Bottle, 650 ml shared with Miro B and Max. Black with medium tan head. Nice coffee, lots of cinnamon, chocolate, barrel, vanilla, sweet, low carbonation, medium bodied. Very smooth, silky, but also just a tad thin in finish.
