Score: 86
Winter 2012-13 vintage bottle served in a Dogfish Head snifter and enjoyed on 02/12/13.
Appearance: Molasses color with thin layer of beige head. Poor lacing, poor retention. 3/5
Smell: Roasted malt, cocoa, banana and subtle bourbon. A little fruitiness too. Roast more prevalent in nose than elsewhere. 3.75/5
Taste: Roast ones upfront, then chocolate and banana throughout. Only the faintest sweet bourbon flavor. A little fruitiness in the finish too. Chocolate and banana are the main characters on the palate here. Malty in a good way. Slightly growing roast towards the finish as the beer warms. 3.75/5
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, good level of carbonation for the style. Moderately dry finish. 3.75/5
Overall: For the price, this beer is really solid. It is better than I expected, certainly something I would drink again, but it is not a beer I would recommend you particularly seek out.
Cost: $5.99 for a 22 oz (bomber) bottle.
