A Portland Classic! This strong ale has a deep mahogany color and is crafted with seven different specialty malts. A touch of smoked malt gives it a complex aroma and incredible flavor. LSD is also generously hopped with six hop varieties to help create an awesome beer.

On tap at Uber Tavern, pours an opaque dark reddish / orange brown with a big beige head. Aroma of caramel malts, toasted malt and brown sugar. Flavour of toasted and caramel malts, toasted nuts and dry bread. Finishes on the dry bready notes. Pretty uninteresting but decent.

Massive chocolate and malt aroma. Beautiful. Pours a hazy brown with garnet all around. Khaki head slowly ebbs. Medium-thin mouthfeel up front leads to a full more-rounded finish. Slight cola but otherwise a nice toffee, roasted and smooted taste. Chocolate blends with some coffee.

22oz Bottle courtesy of BuckeyBoy. Dark brown clear pour with a big dense light tan head. Aroma is a light roasted, chocolate tootsie roll medley. Flavor is more thin and acidic than I was expecting. Plenty of bitterness and again that roasted bite that cuts through everything. Seems kind of one dimensional and straight forward. Seems like beers this dark should be so dry. an Imperial Brown ?

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Marked as Lompoc Special Draft. Pours with a light, off-white head over a hazy deep amber body. Aroma of sarsaparilla, toffee and chocolate fudge. Taste is a bit smokey with chocolate, leather and a bit of bitterness in the finish. Watery mouthfeel.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Labeled as Lompoc Special Draft. 6.9%. Dark brown color with ruby notes. Thick light tan head. Aroma of strongly roasted caramel. Just a tinge of hoppiness. Medium plus body with creamy carbonation. Smooth malty roast, with a little smokiness, and some hop resin. It gets even better into the finish. Mouthsmacking.
