An orange amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, a pleasant grassy malt aroma with kightly lactic points, intermixed with nice c-hops. In mouth, loads of sweetish malts with nice pinhey and grassy hops, a bit restrained but good. On tap at Horse Brass Pub, Sept. 4 2010.

Bomber. Bottle May 2010. Deep brown, approaching black. Frothy, tan head, rapidly diminishing. Aroma of roasted malts, mild coffee, molasses, grass, earthiness, licorice, wood, vanilla, smoke and alcohol. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately bitter, lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately acidic. Medium to full body, creamy texture, average carbonation, alcoholic finish. Slightly smoky, peaty aftertaste. Dry as well. Too much of a boozy, bourbon taste.

Draught. Honestly, I wouldn’t call this a barley wine. Poured light brown with medium head. Sweet aroma. Sweet malty flavour on a full body, with enough bitterness to keep it from getting cloying. Lingering pleasing flavour. Almost dry enough to be a session beer. The pub called it a mild.
