This beer is very popular! Extremely complex and strong at 7.1% ABV. This beer is well balanced between the caramel-malt driven profile and the dry, supporting hops. Look for hints of dark bread and a slight fig or raisin taste all backed by a strong resin, but not overwhelming hop presence.

Pours a dark amber with a tan head. Aroma is dominated by caramel, with bread, plum, dried fruit and raisins. Taste is quite similar with banana, grass, ripe peach, some hints of maple syrup.

Deep amber color, lots of caramel and pine in the nose with some dried fruits. Big malty back bone but fairly simplistic. With aggressive hops.

Draft sample at Epic Brewing taproom, Denver. Pours hazy amber with a small tan head. Aroma of malt, pine, resinous hops, caramel, ripe fruits and toffee. Flavour is over moderate sweet and bitter. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Nice brew!

Release #22; 8.8%. Bomber from Malt and Vine. Pours hazy, dark ruddy amber with a creamy/foamy yellowish beige head. Aroma is malty with a lot of resin. Full bodied. Foamy carb. Flavor is very roasted malt with lots of resin, some darkish fruit, and maybe a hint of chocolate. Pretty hoppy. Bitter. Finishing drier than not, but the malt is always present. Quite a drink.

Hazy deep amber - red beer, small tan head. Smooth palate, a little soft and airy. Mild super fine carbonation. Luxuriant creamy malt with a nice touch of dark toffee. Well balanced with rich marmalade and pine hops. A little fresh orange in there as well. Smooth finish with more malt cream. Nice beer!

Flaska från Systembolaget. Mörkt kopparfärgad vätska med högt skum. Brödig, maltig doft med inslag av karamell och russin. Aromen avrundas med en spritig doft. Något söt i smak som balanseras med amerikansk humlebeska. Och så denna alkohol igen. Kort spritig eftersmak. Nä, tvi.
