Buy the bottle. See the slight haze on a pale eye. Smell a slight dull lemon aroma. Taste some lemon peel. Feel a little processed cheap beer sensation. Feel a plate of some good carbonation. Notice a more than average alky appearance, more than 5% would indicate. Think the middle increases the lemon peel impact. Finish with a not so tart impact wack.

19.2 oz can from Albertsons. Foggy golden pour, small but sturdy white fluffy head, spotty lacing. Light fruity citrusy aroma, pineapple. Taste kicks into gear with zesty pineapple flavors (short-lived), citrus and a little warmth.

Bobmber bottle from trade. Pours black but with brown edging. Thins but persistent layer of tan foam. Smell actually brings up some oak and other wood. Big alcohol smell. Taste brings up, at different time, some dry red wine, and then a bit of licorice. End result is a bit sharp, but like everything else here, it's done in, not moderation, perhaps, but in symphony.

Bomber, 2012 vintage. Rich dark fruit aroma with notes of dates, figs, dark chocolate, roasted malt, licorice, vanilla, oak and bourbon. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and lacing. Starts with rich dark fruit (date and fig), roasted malt, licorice and oak flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with dark chocolate, vanilla and bourbon flavors. Excellent even after 13 years.

Pours hazy gold into a willi. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sourdough and beer mung aromas. Soft with sweet citrus, biscuit and hay upfront turning to bitter, earthy sourdough in the medium length finish.
