"thanks moejuck for this aged sample from 2003... it poured a bright orange gold with a frothy head. Smells of minty hops and orange peel... A medium bodied strong ale with a creamy mouthfeel. The finish was fairly rich but not heavy... No taste of alcohol and this seems to have mellowed nicely altogether after 3 or so years. A more delicate flavor than i'd thought with all the ingredients... Candyish malts are light and sweet, flavors of butterscotch, orange, some grass. Citrus hops balance well and add some bitterness. Even smoother as it warmed and the beer remained civilized through the last taste"

[2] Review by moejuck from Lancaster, OH, USA who has tried this beer once. (5/10/2006 4:16:10 PM)
"I really enjoyed this brew. The bottle I had was an '03 vintage, which I'm sure helped out greatly. Letting all of those malts and hops blend together for a few years could only help. The pour was a nice yellow color with an average head. The aroma was slightly hoppy, with tons of malt coming through. The taste was very nice--lots of caramel malt followed by a decent amount of hops. I would have preferred even more hops, but it was very, very drinkable. There is a slight sweetness in the end of this taste, which reminded me of a barleywine. The mouthfeel here is incredible. Very thick and heavy. The finish is smooth to boot. At 10%, and not a bit of it noticeable, this is one easy drinking yet filling brew."

"10.02.05 Bomber. So, this is what happens to Avery beers with some time under their belts. Well, it’s a good thing. Old and sweet with nice oxidized sherry and cardboard notes. Lingering bread and holiday spice. Nice."

[4] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:20:26 AM)
"A fairly dark amber with a hint of ruby. The head is sluggish and short lived. The aroma has a bit of that old fruit barleywine aroma, but there’s not enough of it there to qualify. There’s a good bit of caramelly malt in the aroma, but very little hops. The malt is biscuity with the caramel and the alcohol never really shows it’s true strength."

[5] Review by herbjones from Orange, CA, USA who has tried this beer (10/30/2005 11:21:39 AM)
"Sampled @ Pizza Port Real Ale Festival 2003.Pours a vibrant orange that seems to glow from the inside. Nose is full of citrus/tropical fruit notes. Very creamy palate, full bodied but not heavy. Flavor has pineapple and mango notes with a sweet front cut nicely by a bitterness in the finish. No alcohol is noticeable. An excellent brew!"
