I have a 22 oz bomber picked up at a Trader Joeβs in Dallas about 2.5 years ago, one of my few big bottles remaining. It is opened and going into a Cowtown snifter. I see a mahogany body finished by a strong head of dark khaki foam that quickly settles. The scent is chocolate fudge, scorched grain and a hint of vanilla. The taste is, I have to say, surprisingly good. Cocoa powder, chocolate cake, licorice, toasted malts and just maybe a bit of black plums. Moderately sweet and there is a slight bitterness offset. The alcohol is completely covered. I recall this beer being a bargain when purchased, doubt Iβll ever see one again. Unfortunate.

Can. Golden in color with a two finger head. Aroma and taste are both well balanced but it's just an average beer.

355ml can from lowcostbeer.com, 6 weeks past BBE. Look - hazy orange, small off white head, nice lacing. Nose - orange, pine resin, vanilla, grapefruit. Taste/palate - sweet and resinous, orange, vanilla, very smooth in texture. A touch of tartness in the finish with a mild bitterness. There are some Milkshake IPA elements to it without going to far. Fairly soft carbonation, just a slight touch of zing to it. Very enjoyable.

A can from Trader Joes. Medium carbonation. Lightly sour combined with peach flavor. Very drinkable on a hot day.
