Bottle pour into pint glass from Friar Tuck. Appearance is hazy golden yellow with trace white head, decent sparkle, no lacing. Aroma is coffee, caramel. Taste is coffee and caramel but also a sour element that doesn’t fit. Palate is light bodied with thin texture, soft-to-flat carbonation, bitter coffee and sour finish. Overall, this started with promise, like Stone’s Master of Disguise, but an odd sour element and an unpleasant mouth feel are major detractors.

Bomber from Wine & Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours gold with a transient head. Aroma is very coffee. Med minus body. Flavor is coffee and light treacle/caramel. Recommended for coffee addicts.
