Bottle. Mahogony-brown beer with a small tan head. Big coffee aroma with lots of roast. Lightly sour, roasty, coffee flavor. Medium. Sour and coffee linger with a bit of sweet malt. I actually don’t know if it’s infected or not, but the sour is drinkable and adds a layer of complexity at this stage, but your results may differ.

Bomber from Bottle Trek. Hazy gold color with a one finger white head. Aroma of floral/citrus hop - rather light. Medium+ body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is a little citrus sour over very lightly roasted caramel. Then floral hops bloom. More of a light ESB than an APA. It’s quite delicious. Finish is pretty balanced: a little hint of sweet, but bitter to stave it off.

Sample at the Most Honorable SuperHappyFun Stout Tasting. Bottle from Bevmo in Palmdale, CA. This beer pours blackish brown with a thin beige head that dissipates quickly. Stringy lacing. The aroma is both roasty and vinous with touches of malt and chocolate. Medium, dry body with notes of roasted malt, wine and coffee. The finish is roasted malt and caramel, with a light hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Bomber. Dusty brown roasted ale aroma. Deep mahogany color with a decent tan head. Medium body with mild, creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark roasted malt, nearly toasted, with chocolate notes. It approaches a porter in character. There is enough bitter to keep the malt within reason. The bitter tends to build with time.

Bomber pours dark brown with tan head and spotty lacing. The aroma moves from lightly roasted to highly roasted then to burnt malts. There’s also a faint stale maltiness usually noticed in organic brews. The taste is nice and roasty going from rich roasted malts, mild caramel malts and then to burnt malts. Taste almost Porter like. I do get a mild combination of hops and faint stale malts. Tasty brew. Lots of flavor for a brown.

Bomer from Bottle Barn; Nose of a little spicinessamnd floral hops, very weak; hazy orange with a medium yellow tinged head; flavor has a little orange, caramel, but only a tiny hint of hop bitterness; has the hop shortage hit already? Or is this not an IPA?

Bomber pours a hazy gold with copper core and weak white head. The aroma doesn’t remind me at all of an IPA. It smells like disjointed notes of stale grains, sugar and a vague sweet fruitiness. The vague fruitiness in the nose starts out the flavor followed by the stale yucky tasting grains and then mild bitterness. Toward the finish the weird graininess builds then gives way to a mild bitterness into the after taste. If organic is going to continue to taste this bad then I’d prefer non organic for sure.

Bomber from Bottle Barn. Aroma of rich, dark chocolate. Really chocolate. It’s dark and opaque. The tan head only amounted to a few bubbles and a light ring. Medium in body with mild, but sharpish, carbonation. Velvety smooth. The flavor starts smoky, toasted malts. Better than Guinness. The chocolate is muted by the malt. The mouth is coated with something that seems like toast mixed with chocolate. The finish is a bit thin, the dark chocolate persists, and there is arguably some hop bitter (though with the toastiness it’s hard to tell). Seems seriously underrated.
