Bomber from the Brewery. Nose is vanilla, oak, caramel, and a very slight hint of bourbon (must not have left all that sweated bourbon in the barrels when they filled them). clear rust copper with a medium light beige head that leaves a faint lacing. Flavor is vanilla and caramels with just a slight bitter aftertaste and a hint of bourbony alcohol.

Bomber from Hi-Time. Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is reminiscent of bourbon and coke. There’s booze in the nose. Med body. Flavor is mild bourbon with some malt. There’s a little heat. But very little considering it’s 12%. Over all I’d say it’s like drinking Irish whiskey, but without the normal heat. There’s bourbon, but not very strong. There’s no complexity to it, but it’s quite drinkable, and I have no idea why the ratings are so low. Perhaps this latest version is improved somehow.

22oz wax top bottle for a what I subconsciously new as a higher price (by many fold) that I should pay for an Indian Wells beer. Pours with a hazed deep amber hued body with a lasting tan head. Aromas are very cidery, alcohol, caramel, nutty, grainy, fusel, very estery, minimal wet wood contribution. Flavors are medium caramel, thin, lightly toasty, very cidery, strong esters, rough fusel alcohol. Minimal bourbon. Thin and boozy with medium carbonation.

12olz bottle picked up in New Orleans. Deep unfiltered brown-black. Rather mellow sweet mouthfeel, slightly doughy, some gingerbread. Nice steady thick beige head. Sweet cocoa banana notes, light fruity pungency. Quite enjoyable, not overwhelmingly sticky or strong. Not quite on the level of a World Class German, but quite OK. (I didnt know the ABV when I drank it, and clearly didn’t assume it was 10.8%)
