Bomber from Tavour. Nose is raisins, pumpernickel, molasses, and bits of pine, nuts, and citrus. Clear rusty red with a medium lightly lacing beige head. Flavor is lightly sweet with contrasting bitterness, charred bread, and dark fruit. Good and drinkable but not as good as other Jewbelation versions.

Bomber from from AFH. Dark brown to black, has a prune juice appearance. no head. Mamlt backbone on these is always intense. Aroma is bitter with english hops and some piney goodness with a lot of brown sugar and malts. Juicy figs with apple, clove, peppers, sweet finish. More bitter than it needs to be for this age

bomber from AFH, foamed quite a bit. dark brown appearance. Looks great with a 2 finger dark white-ish head. Smells very oaky, tannic, raspberry, blueberry and peach. Very light tartness, funk that starts and ends around the middle leaving a cherry pie flavor. i think I’ve enjoyed every vintage of these. Reminds me of Melange 11 but on the lighter side.

Bottle purchased at one stop market. About 15 months ago, seller proper. Nearly black in color with thin white head. Nose is molasses, pine and herbal hops. Tastes very similar to a Black IPA or Cascadian dark ale. The hop flavor is still very bold. Moderate earthy pine bitterness with a medium body. Dry pine texture.
