This is a very rare bomber, very few made. I’ve been holding onto this for a while, was afraid to try it but now I’m glad I did. Looks clear in the glass but there is a layer of thick sediment on the bottom of the bottle. First impression on taste is that it is a little tart and I like that. Not cloying and nor overly sweet like so many American strong ales. Is this 11%? NO WAY! The alky level cannot be in the 11% range, it is so well behaved and hides it’s boozyness so well I was thinking maybe, just maybe, it was 5%. There are some typical mild ill ale effects in there hiding in the background but overall its quite refreshing for a 11% beer, no lie! Pretty good co2 sizzle as well. Scary mild I’d say about this stuff, if you get a bottle, do not be fooled by its tart mildness. If it is really 11% you better watch out, whew. Alky is well done and balanced in this brew, clear thru to the finish. Surprisingly nice job on this one Dan, especially if I compare it to the plethora of rude American strong ales out there. Well balanced fer sure.
