Blue waxed bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is dark chocolate with some light bourbon. Med ++ body. Flavor is whisky (bourbon), chocolate, heat (mostly in the gullet), darkish treacle or smooth dark malt. It’s earthy and somewhat towards dry. Maybe a little coffee towards the finish. The amount of whisky flavor suggest to me that the barrels were first run or near to. Good stuff.

Burgundy waxed bomber from Bine & Vine. Pours very dark brown with a dark tan head. Aroma is bourbon/vanilla followed by dark chocolate. Med ++ body. Flavor is heat (not harmful), chocolate, bourbon/vanilla, dark treacle, smoky wood, and arguably coffee. It’s a complexity. Very smooth - tho the heat may distract some. Clearly the WT barrels were not old and dry. Lots of whiskey flavor here.

Not bad belgian strong blonde ale, nothing extraordinary though, nothing really of note but nothing offsetting.

Draft. It pours a clear pale gold color with a creamy off white head. The aroma has lots of dank spice, pine needles and orange. Very inviting. The flavor has toasted malt and hints of caramel .Full bodied with some dank spice, orange and a little mango. Good. The aroma was better than the flavor.

Bomber from Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours pale gold with fine bubbles and a white head. Aroma is sort of lacto/lemon. Med minus body. Flavor is lemon, lacto and some wheatiness. It is prickly with carbonation, and it is very light and refreshing. There’s no acidity to the sour. Well almost none. Easy drinking.

Bomber from Craft Beer Kings. Pours hazy copper with a white head. Aroma is not very sweet, if at all, strawberry. Near med body. Flavor starts tart. Surprise - there’s strawberries. Sort of like in those little plasti-packs in restaurants. Yet still tart. It’s not very acidic. It’s only lightly sour. Yet there’s tart, and it’s not unripeness. Just tart. The aroma stays nice with quaffs, and the flavor is consistent. Really decent drink.

On draft at Tap 25. It pours a clear dark amber color with a khaki head. The aroma is very toasted and dry with hints of coffee. The flavor follows suit with toasted malt, a little coffee and light notes of plum. Medium floral bitterness. Light bodied. Kind of a standard brown ale despite all the additives.
