bomber bottle c&c. bottle label date is 2022. Pours a dark brown color with a small-ish khaki colored head that soon recedes. The amora is medium in strength with dark fruits, toffee, and cola. The taste is insanely complex with chocolates, mocha, raisins, pecans, cola and a touch of whiskey barrel. The palate is smooth and creamy and the carbonation is soft. Finishes long and semi-sweet with lingering cola's. Overall: Decent--This is a monster of a barley wine. paired well with some Comte cheese.

Surprise beer, woo, been wanting to try one of these. Big, heavy and strong, but remarkebly smooth. Rich and decadent barleywine, oldschool, lots of raisins and dried fruit, meets great bourbom barrels. Sweet, soft, touch tobacco, smooth.

Level 6 bottleshare. Thanks to Dan. Almost clear dark brown amber beer, small pale tan head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts. A lot of creamy sweetness and maple with good bourbon barrel fruits. A light and spicy finish.

Waxed bomber. Aroma has notes of bourbon, vanilla, raisin, sherry, overripe dark fruit, apple cider vinegar, earth, chocolate, wood, toffee. Pours very dark brown with a half finger beige head that falls into a ring quickly. Taste is highly sweet with flavors like the aroma descriptors.
