Bomber. Batch 57. Pours a totally black hue with a large brown head. A rich nose of roast and fruity and pine hops. A rich fruity hop mix, bitter chocolates, roast, porter flavors, distinctly a BIPA, sweet pine, very balanced. I even get tobacco and more bitter fruit. Very well done. I slightly prefer Dubhe, but this is excellent.

Bomber. Batch 48. Pours a somewhat cloudy copper color with a large thick white head. A nice fruity nose with some spices and pine. An excellent flavor: rich citrus, light resin, massive citrus, certainly must be citra hops here as part of the mix, some light bitterness. Very full flavored. Great creamy palate. Excellent brew. Really clean and tasty, loads of tangerine and lemon/grapefruit. Lively. Lower alcohol then one might assume and drinkable as hell.

Bomber courtesy of tkrjukoff. Pours black with a big frothy dark mocha head that slowly dissipates while leaving lots of thick lacing and trace on the glass. Smell is sweet, fruity and hoppy with roasted malts, caramel, toffee, tropical fruit hard candy, pine, resinous wood, peaches, papaya, star fruit, powdered sugar, salty liquorice, grapefruit juice and dark roast coffee. Taste is tiny sweet and very bitter with roasted malts, ammonium chloride, black pepper, wood, burnt cookies, caramel, oily pine, resin, unripe mango, star fruit, pumpernickel bread, very astringent black tea, grapefruit rinds, dried apricots and orange peal. Mouthfeel is oily bitter, heavy astringent and medium to full bodied. Finish is bitter with grapefruit rinds, roasted malts, ammonium chloride, burnt caramel, pine, wood, dark bread, dried apricots and star fruit. Way too bitter but otherwise nice...
