Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, fruit, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt fruits, lemon, lacto acid, wood, and straw, leading to a dry finish.

Bomber from GM Liquors. Nose of roasty nuts, caramel, and a touch of cocoa and banana. Lightly hazy rust color with a big beige head that lightly laces. Flavor is lightly sweet with touches of caramelized sugar, bananas, and light bitterness and peppery spices. Finish has some light sweetness contrasted by a touch of bitterness. Much better than the last 2 ratings say.

Big thanks goes out to cquiroga for this rare beer from californ-eye-aye, only three ratings! I am privileged and honored. Big foaming darker beer pour, but not black, just dark brown. Looks almost like a doppel weizen. Some sediment on the bottom of this beer bomber, makes for a swirl. Streaming carbonation inside this brew is readily apparent and puts on a show. Rocky alabaster head in a large 22 oz mug. Nice sweeter aroma on the olfactory. Taste is quite strong and reminds me quite a bit of the background flavors that are typical in East End stronger dubbel and trippel brews. Aroma becomes more volatile in the middle of the session. Unique fruity-ness is lurking behind the curtain in this one. Strong yet fresh. Fresh yet divergent. Dissimilar flavors combine to create a unique brown ale. Nagging alcohol at times but its not coming across like a 7+%er. This stuff is not really a brown ale but probably more like a Belgian dubbel. S6L4F2T4O7 Thanks Chris!
