Bomber from Cap Tap at 11.8%. Pours dark brn/blk with a lightly foamy beige/tan head. Aroma is very dark malt, dark fruits, bourbon notes. Full bodied. Flavor is dark treacle, dark fruit, earthy chocolate, vanilla, wood and bourbon notes. It does do an imitation of a Kraft caramel for a split second in the finish. Not dry at all. Fairly bitter considering all the malt. Heat is mostly hidden. Good stuff.

Pour is a black with a very minor tan head. Aroma is all whiskey. Alcohol hot with a big char and some vanilla. Flavor is about the same. Bit whiskey with a ton of oak. Some chocolate and vanilla follow. Big flavor and bigger booze. The cardboard box this came in was unnecessary and only added to the cost.
