Rich brown coloured body with a thinnish tan head showing some nice off-white lacing. Aroma of bright fresh hops, light earth and a bunch of caramelised sugars. Medium-bodied; Nice rich caramel maltiness with hints of earth and mellow hop flavours with a crisp pine and light spruce spiciness. Aftertaste showing a good complexity with a great balance of hops, malt and spice. Overall, a nice beer for the season and to be honest - one that can be sampled at anytime! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from Whole Foods (Pearl) in Portland, Oregon on 06-December-2013 for US$4.99 sampled in my hotel room in Portland on 06-December-2013.

Bomber. Pours a clear dark copper color with a medium tan head. A sweet nose of toffee, some raisins and fruit. Medium spices, especially clove, banana, some bitterness, citrus, cocoa, dark bitter chocolates. An interesting brew. Caramel, more bitterness. Pretty smooth and tasty.
