$2 single from Trader Joe's. Mojito glass @home. Dark maroon & murky pour; middling head. Dark carob roast, a little coffee, no spice on the initial nose. Toasty crust, burnt brown sugar, hazelnut, sharp & lingering vanilla, mellow; Diluted spices. Murky, low carb, stout-y texture, booze-y enough. Boring if decent winter warmer.

Can. Eye is clear pale with a thin white head. Fresh nose of typical pale lager. First taste is rather smooth and mellow. A little better than your numerous macro pale lagers in flavor. Rather friendly. Easy going. The middle yields a tad of that processed feel in there. Decent level of co2. No hoppy bitterness in this one. Quaffable, no problems here. I enjoyed this can.

Bomber at share, 2015 vintage. Near black pour with a thin beige head. Aroma is roast malts and toffee with bourbon. Taste doesn't deviate for the nose, offering boozy roasty malts with a light, sweet edge.

Bomber at share, 2015 vintage (Bourbon barrel). Copper colored pour with a ring of fine bubbles. Malty aroma, toffee, woody and plenty of bourbon notes. Taste is malty, leathery, tannic, nutty. Feels like a big heavy beer despite the 9% ABV.
