Bomber. Poured on the eve of St. Nick even! Amber in appearance with a short lived head, oily head. Plenty of lacing throughout. Hop bitterness is up front, balanced by caramel malts. Some grapefruit, some pine, some warming alcohol. Kinda blurs the line with an IPA. Nice beer that packs a punch on a cold Wisconsin night!

22 oz. bottle. Pours copper with a small, beige head. The aroma is apples, nutmeg, saaz and some earthy hops, and caramel. The flavor is grainy sweetness and bitter. The palate is medium, sticky, grainy, and syrupy. Overall, this is a malty beer, with a nice hop profile.

Hazy dark orange pour that throws up a sticky off-white head. Sweet malt and flowery hop aroma. Light bitterness in the flavor that follows all the way to the finish. Crisp and refreshing.

Bottle sample at a tasting at kerenmk’s place. Thanks kerenmk. Deep amber color. Hoppy aroma, slightly floral and slightly piney, with a bit of malt and alcohol. Slightly sweetish flavor with some malt, grainy hints and a bitter finish with a bit of hops. Medium-bodied.

Bottle at Camp Beer IX. Pours a cloudy orange with small off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is a floral hops. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet malt and caramel. Easy to drink a very impressive imperial pils from Southern Tier.

Krampus lives up to its namesake, as long as you pretend your palate is a naughty child and liquor heat serves as the stick. The beer gives a boozy, alcohol-fueled finish that is much too overpowering, even with such sweet, sticky lager malts. The modest fruitiness and strong hopping are no great shakes, but, even if they were, the warmth from this bottle would ruin them. Not my favorite.

From notes: Bottled @ Beer Temple. Copper color, off white head (not much). Aroma’s of (sweet) fruit, resin, a bit roasted malt/caramel. Flavor is medium sweet with a hint of acidity. Medium body. Eventually a bitter finish.
