Bomber from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours dark ruddy brown with a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is chocolate with a hint of smoke, with some vanilla. Med + body. Flavor is chocolate (still with a hint of smoke), smooth burnt malt, vanilla, and maybe something a little herby like anise. Also suggestions of toffee/treacle. Not a hint of the heat. With time it turns a bit astringent. Quite a taste treat, and it seems rather complex to me.

Bottle: Poured a copper clear with a frothy lacing off white head. Nose is sweet fruit and floral, almost throwing the name sake off. Then in a flash it hammers home that hoppy triple IPA with nice floral. So fresh! Thanks to timfoolery for sending me tho treat. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bomber from Total Wine West Richmond, VA. Pours a clear dark reddish brown color with a large frothy brown head. Decent head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, vanilla, chocolate and a faint hop finish. The taste is basically melted ice cream... chocolate and vanilla with a finish of roasted malts and faint hops. Medium bodied, slight bitterness, average carbonation. Not bad, but a bomber’s worth seems like it might be a bit much.
