Pure Milwaukee Genius Series 1: Made with three styles of fresh American hops and fruity ale yeast that requires greater fermentation, it finishes with a dark amber appearance, spicy hop flavor and bold, malty backbone. The punch this potent brew packs reminds us all that when you want to make a point, you’re better off making a statement.

Yes, 651ml written on front label (8.5% ABV and bottled on 30/01/13). Pours a dark copper colour with a big beige fluffy head that stays really long and gives out foamy lace. Beautiful hoppy nose with some roasted malts, mild dark fruits, light apples and caramels. No burning, but a nice warming alcohol. Thick mouthfeel with a light dry finish. The hop is nicely present across the flavours. Spices, fruits and the sweet malt is not so sweet in the taste. Hints of coffee enventually come out in the aftertaste. I have to save this is quite a nice different brew, being a nice strong beer with darker malts, but still, quite hoppy. A must try.

Bouteille 651ml. De couleur brune et claire. Nez de houblon floral, herbeux et légèrement résineux, de biscuits, de caramel terreux, moyen de fruits (agrumes) avec des notes de grains rôtis. Moyenne-ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-doux ainsi qu’une texture légèrement crémeuse et huileuse. Léger goût fruité (agrumes) avec un léger goût de grains de malt rôtis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute rapidement un goût de caramel légèrement terreux et de biscuits ainsi qu’une moyenne amertume de houblon à la fois herbeux, légèrement résineux et floral. Cette amertume reste ensuite présente jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen-long, moyennement amer de houblon herbeux, légèrement floral et résineux avec un léger résiduel de malt sucré et terreux ainsi que des petites notes fruitées (zeste d’agrumes).

Bomber from Yamaichi. Hoppy nose, citrus, plus cherry and nice fruity malts, caramel chocolate. Nicely put together. Glowing dark reddish brown with a fine and bubbly tan head. Pretty. Rich, sweet malts, chocolate, light coffee roasting, raisins, cherries, dired fruits, lots of hops, grass, pine, citrus. Quite complex. Bitter finish. Darn good stuff.

Bottle: Poured a dark black color ale with a large dark foamy head with good retention and some light lacing. Aroma consists of dry roasted malt with some resin and citrus hops. Taste is a mix between some roasted malt notes with dry notes and some pine and citrus hops punch. Body is quite full with somewhat of a creamy texture and good carbonation with no apparent alcohol. Well balanced with good hops punch

Bottle - Very well balanced floral hop nose with some nice malty caramel sweetness. Deep clear ruby with a nice off white head. Many layered and contrasting flavors, from the citrus and piney hops to the toffee caramels. There is also a underlying bitterness that doesn’t overwhelm but is there till the end. A good cold weather beer, that coats the palate.
