Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours brown/black with a slight bubbly dark tan head. Aroma of very dark chocolate and bourbon/coconut. Full bodied. Flavor is extremely dark chocolate - tho smoot - with bourbon/vanilla/coconut - but there’s a persistent sour aspect. Maybe it’s excessive oak. I think coffee is present, but hard to be sure. The sour aspect tends towards plum/prune. This is pretty complicated stuff, and it’s definitely not simple flavors. With time the sour submerges into the other flavors. Very different. Halfway thru the bomber: Now aroma and flavor have a lot of coffee. This stuff seems to change with time.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours orange tinged gold with a white smear for head. Light citrus aroma. Near medium body. Definitely rye in the flavor and there’s a fair amount of citric bitter. The combination is pretty tasty.

Oakshire Wild Evil: Wild Brett. Bottle at the GABF Farm Table pavilion. Pours with a hazy orange to yellow body with a medium sized white head. Aromas are very funky, jammy, nectarine, leather, earthy, brett and some oak tannins. Flavors are jammy and lively with a lot of earthy brett funk and some fruity esters. Lots of jammy, slightly peppery red wine notes. Lively bubbles, dry, and funky. Good!

Bottle @ home. Not sure who sent this one to me in a trade but I’m sure he’s a hell of guy. Thanks man! A touch hazy, dark copper appearance with a creamy, off white head that has good retention. Slightly toasty, pale/caramel malty, light toffee, grapefruit citrusy, light piney aroma. Moderately piney, grapefruit citrus hoppy, toasty pale malty, light caramel flavor with a lingering bitter, dull citrusy aftertaste. Ok.
