Bomber and a major gusher, half of it just fountained on the table. De couleur brune foncée, col crémeux blanc-cassé. Arôme est malté, grillé, léger houblonné rappelant de belles notes d’agrumes. Palais est malté, houblonné en retrait, agrumes, pointe de levure ressortant plus. Chocolaté sur la fin avec une note herbacée des houblons. Semble à la limite de l’infection mais sans vraiment l’être. Le tout semble juste un peu ’off’. Amertume apparait comme un peu trop discrète au profit des malts.

On tap at Yardhouse SLP. Pours near black with a dark brown head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has sweet dark grains with a bit of roasted malt and a good amount of pine. Flavor is much more pine forward backed by roasted malts and dark grains.

Many thanks to Chris for getting this bottle for me! Smooth malty-fresh, nice roast with fresh floral hops. Great smooth and bitter roasted. The aftertaste is nice floral fresh, bitter roasted, long-intense-roasted-floral. Great and nice dry for the 7%!

bottle - Near black, one finger tan head, roasty aroma, flavor is pleasantly bitter with roasted malt, chocolate, some resin, and a lingering bitter finish. It’s full bodied and enjoyable, a very good brew.

Bomber from Costco, Oak Brook! Nice hoppy smell right under the cap, Pours a brown head that looks like it came off a stout, but it’s much thicker. Funerary Black beer underneath. Taste is mildly hoppy, with some graininess from whatever the different malts are. But its a nice combination, with the alcohol waiting respectably in the background, and a more balanced beer than the usual hophead’s delight. Feels like it’s sessionable, maybe with a bomber it’s more for sharing.

A dark brown IPA with a thick frothy brown head. In aroma, nice bitter chocolate with smooth fruity notes, resinous hops, nice. In mouth, a bitter chocolate malt with light floral and grassy hop, grapefruit, ok. On tap at Coney Island on tap.

Dark brown to black color, small brownish head. Interesting aroma, original; mild coffee, dark cookies, light smoke, fire wood. Smooth and dry mouthfeel; a bit too ashy, roasted malt flavor, with hints of fruits. Ashy final.
