On tap at The Rake, London. A deep dark brown colour with light beige head. Very rich, sweet, aniseed taste. Certainly did not expect to find this in London. Overall an interesting experience but I probably won’t seek it out again.

Pours a viscous thick yellow-lighted brown beer with yellow-brownish head, fed by lively carbonation, but fast reduced to yellow rim. Strong malty, caramelly, molasses nose, with liquorice, moccha, French coffee. Liquorice grows stronger in time. Liquorice, very roasted, sweet & alcohol in the background; molasses, ketjap or waffles syrup. Warming up, apart from the liquorice imprint, also more hops appear luckily. Creamy MF, very full-bodied, alcoholwarming, chewy. Pretty impressive brew, and not unbalanced at all. My bone of dissention lies mainly in the all the same too dominant liquorice/drop thumbprint. Thanks to DavidA!!

22 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark reddish brown color with almost no head. Looks almost like motor oil. Decent lacing. Aroma is very heavy in dark fruits.... plum, raisin. Also roasted malts, toffee and a slightly tart finish. Taste is fairly assertive hops with toffee, dates, raisins, rye. Full bodied. Slight alcohol warmth.

Deep mahogany with garnet highlights under a thin tan head. Dark dried fruit and molasses aroma. Sweet with some smooth roast bitterness. Full bodied sipper. Not quite a BarleyWine but it comes close. Very enjoyable.

I had some sampling of this beer when i was first released and I knew it was way too young. Glad i am waiting till now cause it is much better. Tap @ the Beer Table poured into a pilsner flute glass. Has a beautiful, rich, thick brown head that sits atop a thick black body. Aroma is dark, oily tobacco and aggressively hopped (green vine hops). There is a light flavor of licorice, the bitter chocolate with a pruney sweet finish. It also has a thicker, a little viscous mouthfeel. It was a delightful beer on a cold night.

Bomber from GM Liquors. Nose of toffee, caramel, prunes, and a light vanilla note. Black with a small tan head that lightly laces. Flavor is toffee, chocolate, alcohol, and raisin pie. Finish is light alcohol warmth with light bitter and toffee notes. It probably will age very well.

Bomber. Very dark brown color with a decent tan head. Aromas of treacle and dark roast malt. Near full bodied with creamy carbonation. Flavor is treacle, with some coffee, darker fruit and dark malt. There’s some slight heat in the finish. Pretty good stuff. Will there be a 13?

22oz bottle. Opaque black color with a chalky thin head. Toffee cognac Barleywine aroma. Taste is similar, but surprisingly smooth and creamy for a beer of 12%. Really seems like a Dark Barleywine, which I find to be a unique uncredited sub-category. Rich, full of flavor, and palatable. Worth a try.
