Notes / Commercial Description:
The truth. You don’t want to hear the truth. The truth’s no longer out there bubba. Just chicken ass lies. Become a Dogma Disciple. Believe in the birds and the bees. Act crazy, be heavily armed at all times and scream in German. Dogma is an indulgent, decadent and encapsulating scotch ale brewed with 10 different types of malt all blended together with Scottish heather honey. Soak up the sweet nectar like a jackrabbit on heat. This beer is not cool. You may think it is, but that is just a beautiful lie fabricated by clowns and gypsies.

4.1/5 rDev +4.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance: Mostly clear (maybe a hint of cloudiness), deep burnt orange/sienna colour, with a light foam of head that looks creamy victorian tan head and an every so light lace around the glass as the head dissipitates.
Aromatics: I get an ever so lightly roasted caramel malt with added hints of fresh spice.
Taste: I love the intensity of flavour, sweet caramelized honey and malt, with a tad bit of earthy spice.
Feel: it has an interesting almost paradoxical combination of light and heavy. Its creamy lightness as it coats the palate in contrast to its physical weighted character.
Overall: Loved it. Have never really tried a Scotch Ale/Wee Heavy before, and if this style is what they are like then I’ll be trying them more often.

One of the few Brewdog beers I haven't fallen in love with.
And I think my main gripe is with its contrast.
It looks like a stout or porter, but feels like a light ale.
It's as dark as they come and very malty to the nose.
But lacks the body of what you'd expect from a beer if that character.

Bomber pours out a nice dark, muddy brown, small skin of a beige head. Mild nutty, earthy aroma, hint of savory spice. Taste comes in with slightly sweet malts, light warmth and tingling at the back of the throat. Lingering spicy palate.

Interesting beer. Nutty vanilla aroma. Sweet honey nut taste. Very smokey. Interesting thin but sticky body. This really isn’t like any beer I’ve had before.
