Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy amber color ale with a quite large foamy head with good retention and minimal lacing. Aroma of grassy bitter hops with deep malt backbone. Taste is a balanced mix between some grassy hops with some clear bitter notes and a huge malt backbone that is quite dry. Body is full with minimal filtration and good carbonation with no signs of the alcohol. Very well done and definitely better then expected.

Bottle: Poured a deep amber color lager with a medium foamy head with average retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with a nice dose of cereal notes with light floral undertone. Taste is heavier then expected with a malt heavy backbone, light sweetness with nice fresh floral cereal aftertaste. Body is quite full with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Very well done and heavier then most example I have tried from this style.

An overall solid beer. Rich, thick head and strong, dark copper color. Taste is suggestive of caramel and toffee. Smooth with just enough complexity to keep it interesting. I wish this brew was more widely distributed.

Bomber from puzzl (Aug 2007 trade) Guess it is really well aged now! Nose is very oaky woodiness, raisins, and prunes. Hazy dark amber with a very small beige head. Flavor is a lot of prunes and raisins and very woody. Very smooth with no hint of the 100IBUs in the finish of lightly sweet dark fruit. Would have loved to try this fresh!
