Seize the season with Sleigh'r. Layers of deeply toasted malt are balanced by just enough hop bitterness to make it deceivingly drinkable. Paired with a dry finish, Sleigh’r is anything but your typical winter brew.
Tasting Notes
An Alt ferments with Ale yeast at colder lagering temperatures. This effect gives Alts a more refined, crisp lager-like flavor than traditional ales. The Alt has been “Ninkasified” raising the ABV and IBUs. Sleigh'r has a deep, toasted malt flavor that finishes dry and balanced.

Bomber poured into Sam Adams lager glass. SLAYER! What a bitchin name for a beer. Pours a hazy orange with a thick off-white head that sticks around for a nice long time. Leaves some rockin lacing. Aroma is herbal, citrus powder drink. Taste is lightly sweet with some bitterness coming up in the finish. Has a grassy and intensely nutty character. Very smooth; the alcohol is well-hidden. Has medium carbonation and body with a creamy mouthfeel. Nice beer.

Shipped to me by my wife on a trip to Portland. Sampled from a 22 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark brown color with a huge creamy tan head that lingered and produced minimal lacing. The aroma was dryish, malty and a bit toasty with light vanilla, fruit and grassy hops. The flavor was sweetish and malty with notes of nut and vanilla. The finish was medium length and malty. Creamy body. The alcohol was very well hidden. Decent.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber brown with a brown head. Aroma is sweet with grain and bread notes and a bit of caramel and nut. Flavor has a nice hop start but quickly becomes malty with toffee and caramel notes.

Courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Pours hazy amber with tan head. The aroma seems like creamed corn, sweet malts and a mild amount of roasted malts. The taste has corn kernel notes, some roasted malts, a bit of floral hops flavor and then moving into floral hop bitterness.

Bomber from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Pours very dark brown, and ruby shows in front of strong light. Large foamy tan head. Aroma of dark caramel with florality. Full bodied with foamy/creamy carbonation. Flavor is dark roast malt, with some hop bitter and floral/fruit aspects. Some cola and chocolate. Finishes bitter with sweet, and somewhat chocolate. Quite delightful. A big beer, but in a light way.
