Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated evenly and distributed some lace bere and there.
The aroma centers around some coffee bean, caramel, toast, Apple fritters, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, and roast. Light chocolate malt underneath.
The flavor leans to the sweet side and adds a light vinegar touch to it. Spices rub against the vinegar in the aftertaste drying out in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Slightly hard to quaff all of the way down due to the vinegar-esque acidic sharpness going on. Carbonation feels fine.
Overall, what is it with Bent Hill and not cleaning their tanks or lines? Come on, BH, I really don’t think the vinegar was intentional.

Bomber from Winooski Beverage Warehouse. Hazy dark brown, thin fizzy medium brown head. Good head retention. Aroma of roast, sweet apple, chocolate, cinnamon in the finish. The taste is roasted malt, cinnamon, vanilla, chocolate, mild sweet apple finish. Thin-medium bodied, moderate-high carbonation, mild lingering spice, decent balance. Solid.
