Batch 1 bomber from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear orange tinted amber color with a large frothy tan head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, toffee, citrus hops, some toasted wood notes. The taste is bitter citrus hops with some earthy notes, caramel, ryem toastiness from the wood and a boozy whisky bite in the finish. Medium-full bodied. Hot, but quite nice.

Bottle shared by Kan, thanks! Poured a near clear amber orange with a tan head that dissipated quickly. Aroma was full of rye with a bit of underlying spice and alcohol. Flavor was full of rye as well but overall it just come out a bit one note. I wish the hops would have been more present to really round this beer out.

Oddly delicious. This beer is rather sweet and fairly cloying, however rye spice and the rye barrel work well with the sweetness. The rye is smoky, almost hot. There’s a lot of malt. Brown sugar, molasses, raisins, and lots of rye bread. It’s not really a DIPA, in my opinion. This is essentially an interesting barleywine. Hops are muted or, at least, masked by the rye and merely lend some bitterness in the flavor. It’s a fairly kooky beer. Lots of caramel malt. Definite alcohol heat. The total package is quite enjoyable. Definitely a sipper.

Bomber from the Co-Op in Davis, CA. Pours clear ruddy copper with a 3.5 finger foamy beige/tan head. Aroma is sort of hoppy over roast malt and a touch of that smooth vanilla? aroma associated with whisky barrels. Medium plus body with foamy/creamy carbonation. Rye it is. Oaky it is. Very hoppy it is. I’d say citrus and floral, but the barrel/whisky aspect sort of confuses things. There’s a lot going on here, including some mild heat. It is very, very tasty.
