22nd May 2010. ChrisOs ’Blue Ridge Mountains Of Virginia’ tasting! Hazy amber brown beer. Light semi crisp palate. Creamy malt - a little aged papery chocolate. Some fruit coming through at the end. Finishes soft and dry. Okay.

Bomber aged about 18 or so months, drunk early 2008. Another pale old ale, this one being a deep amber, with a wispy white head and a clear filtered body. Quite estery in the nose, with peach, apple and other fruits presenting themselves. They are swallowed by a strongly malty vanilla-honey-almond note that leads to a light mustiness (bottling line bacteria?) that is apparent in many of Atlantics older bottles. The flavor is very sweet and underattenuated, with a big brace of honey, maple and vanilla cream-like sugars that are only (somewhat) kept from cloying the palate by the weak, thinned-out mouthfeel and low carbonation. Oxidation and some cidery/vinegary notes begin to creep in on the finish, while crackery/crusty malts dry out the finish somewhat. Alcohol is well-concealed. Could do without the spicy phenols too (clove mainly).

Bottle 22oz. Raisin malt and alcohol aroma. Dark reddish-amber color with moderate head. Initially a raisin/dried cherry/caramel malt flavor with a light hops and strong alcohol finish. Malty aftertaste. Wish I had a decent cellar to age this one a bit more.

Red cognac ale with a thin white head. Aroma of boiled beans and foonf! In mouth, a bland malt with no hops, chlorine. Not very good...infected bottle? Enjoyed with the Mtl Crew Sept. 9, 2006.
