(Can) Golden orange colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of apricots, orange, white bread, spices and mandarin peel. Fruity, malty taste with apricots, orange, mandarin, white bread, spices, herbs, coriander and citrus peel. No bitterness. Light body, with a slight sweetness. Refreshing. Nice one.

Bomber at home shared with Laura. Brownish red colored beer, the head disappears quickly. Aroma and flavor are malts, light tart, hmm this might not be in the best shape still. It's an old bottle and there is some "decay" in there definitely.

Has aged very well. Nice semi-dark malt character, a little ash and smoke, dried berries, fudge, cocoa, earth, only very faint oxidation. Mellow warmth. Nice to have a big impy without the childish adjuncts.
