This beer is indeed a full-bodied Strong Ale; a Hybrid between a Porter and a Scottish Ale…This hearty winter warm ale is named in honor of American poet Henry Longfellow.

Bomber from Knightly in Orlando, FL. Pours dark brown with a slight tan head. Aroma is sort of cola. Flavor is a little chocolate, some light toast/burnt malt, and likely a bi of coffee. Ok, but not strong in flavors.

It pours jet black leaving a one inch foamy lumpy off-white head. The head slowly dies to a centimeter lasting a little longer in my nonic. Minimal lacing is left. The smell is slightly malty and has a dry coffee aroma coming through as the beer warms. The taste is bittersweet through the malts and the dry coffee. The palatre is about a light to medium with lots of harshness coming through at all angles, kinda bad for an English Porter. This is fairly drinkable. Overall, I’m not impressed with this one.

Bomber from Systembolaget. Clear, deep brown liquid with big off-white head. Aroma is malty with notes of pumpernickel, chocolate, grapefruit, fitrus and bready/biscuity malt. Fruity. Taste is light sweet, medium bitter and bready malty with light roastedness. Fruity. Medium bodied with OK carbonation, though a bit watery. OK beer to go with food but too boring on it’s own. Too watery.

Bottle. Dark brown with a medium head. Aroma and taste of smoke, some roasted malt, toffee and hops. On the thin side, drinkable but not that exciting.

En ale som jag nog kategoriserat som mörk ESB. Själva säger Shipyard Scotish ale / porter och det känns rimligt. Bra maltkropp, fyllig, rund, aningens söt av torkad frukt, choklad och sirapslimpa. Engelsk humlekaraktär som blommar ut i munnen och har en mjuk men distinkt beska. På det hela taget ett utmärkt öl som vunnit på att vara anings stramare. En klart positiv överraskning.
