Bomber (finally). It only took me two years to track this down. You’d think with the brewery just 45 minutes or so from my front door it wouldn’t be that hard... wrong. Limited by PA’s arcane beer laws, Voodoo can only sell cases in most establishments, and like I’m going to spend $85 on a case of something I’ve never tried. Anyhow, whining aside, I was happy to finally find a single for $7.49. Pours a thin, yet dark brown with a big head that slowly rises up and forms into a tan foam of about two or three fingers. Aromas are interesting... coffee and chocolate, for sure, but there seems to be a bit of whiff of pine, too. Flavor is big and bold, with lots of ABV warming the throat and belly. Leather, milk chocolate and a little coffee, vanilla and a touch of dark fruit and then the wood takes over right before a fairly hoppy finish kicks in. The resiny hops accompany the alcoholic warmth in the finish, which is a fairly nice way to end things. Maybe just a little thin, but very nice, nonetheless.
