Bomber with thanks to gorditoabd. Pours hazy and orangish, massive head and a resin and herbal hops nose. Flavor is pretty decent, but either it is too malty to begin with for my preferences or the transit took a toll. The hops seem a little generic... I won’t say directionless, but they don’t really push toward a specific flavor profile.

On tap. Pours a clear amber/copper with light head. Light orange/citrus hops aroma. Similar taste. Nice. Not overly hoppy.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours very dark brown with a creamy/bubbly tan head. Aroma is pretty much bourbon. Near full bodied. Flavor starts with chocolate and quickly transitions to bourbon. The funny thing is that the bourbon is not overpowering - it’s just the principal flavor in a very smooth and tasty IS. There’s burnt malt, but the bourbon smooths it out. The heat is hard to find. Finishes mildly sweet chocolate with bourbon. Oak? I think so. There’s an astringent aspect. Really good stuff here.

Sample from bottle courtesy of a friend @ 3 Små Rum. Pours hazy reddish orange with a small creamy off-white head that quickly dissipates while leaving a small trace on the glass. Smell is sweet and sour with burnt sugar, vinegar, red and black currants, wood, lemon zest and horse blanket. Taste is sour and slightly sweet with wood, red currants, raspberries, strawberries, vinegar, burnt sugar, hay, funk and hints of barnyard. Mouthfeel is tart, slightly dry and medium bodied. Finish is dry, sour and tart with black currants, wild strawberries, hay and lemon zest. Very nice, balanced and surprisingly complex.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. 14% Pours dark ruddy copper with a beige smear for head. Nose tingling aroma. Seems to be a mix of roast malt, citrus and treacle. Full bodied. There’s a little heat. Not much. Flavor is brown sugar with some slightly dark fruit - tho maybe that’s a citrus treacle combo. It is very tasty, and finishes thick and mildly sweet. Very warming! Rerate/rethink in 60 secs. It’s really a pretty hoppy finish. More so than many barley wines. Gets tastier as it warms.

650mL bottle, pours a clear golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of clove, coriander, Belgian yeast, floral hops and banana. Flavour of coriander, Belgian yeast, clove and some alcohol notes - sort of a shortbread and licorice note on the finish. Alcohol is acceptably worked in but there is a noticeable burn. Not the most complex, with some unrefined qualities. Like manuchampions said, perhaps this will mature with age.
