7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Very dark brown coloured body with a very thick, super creamy tan head that shows at about three to four centimetres at first and only fades a tiny bit from the microfoamed top. Aroma of very pungent spice notes with allspice, canella, star anise, roasted malts and a bunch of lactose and even some pumpkin aspects. Medium to Full-bodied; Very strong rich malt notes dominate somehow above all the spice elements which are right behind as well with a lot of allspice, canella and brown sugars with a big hit of coffee and lactose depth right behind. Aftertaste is pungent as well with the richness from the malts, the alcohol and a ton of lactose and pure cream and milk components, but the spices still are strongest here. Overall, a very pungent beer with the lactose, cream, spice and malts and sugars that somehow tastes way more than 6,0 per cent alcohol, but hits the flavours very nicely! Great to sample and well worth grabbing if you can find this! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased on 28-June-2021 for US$2,59 at Brown Jug in Anchorage (Old Seward), Alaska sampled in my hotel room here in Homer, Alaska on 28-June-2021.

Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours ruddy brown with a slight beige head. Aroma of sourish wood - a BFM sort of aroma. Med plus body. Flavor is sour, cherry, slightly musty wood. A little malty, but rather dry. Mild bitterness, but the sour cherry is the thing. Good flanders red style ale.

A hazed dark reddish amber DIPA with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with dark fruits, resinous hops and dank sulfur characters. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity caramel malt with dark fruits, pine needles, citrus pulp, resinous hops, very nice and solid for a 10 year old beer.

Very nicely done. Subtle and excellent. Florals and tobacco. Dark plum. Maroon pour with good head and lacing. Nice balance. Great stuff. Took a while of wanting before I had a taste but this is good. Light sweet finish. Bottle.

Sample from 2017 bottle during the Alaska Beer: Glacial Awareness event on 06/20/2020. Opaque black pour with a medium khaki head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of roast malt, coffee, chocolate and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of burnt malt, espresso, dark chocolate, maple and dark fruit. The finish is roasty with a chocolatey malt aftertaste. Good beer all around.
