Bomber pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is a mix of sweet malts, sweet nuttiness and a firm layer of earthiness. I also get a thin layer of dark fruity esters in the background. The taste is as sweet as the aroma suggests with malts, some ripe juicy plums, cherries and nuttiness followed by an earthy note. Deep in the background is a bit of pine like hops and a sliver of malt roastiness attempting to dry it out.

650mL bottle, pours hazy amber. Aroma is a strong balance of caramel malts and hops. Flavour is stronger on the caramel malts with a big hop back-end kick. Another great one from Southern Tier.

clear amber, smooth light brown/yellow head. caramelly and old hoppy aroma, also some sour or acid hops, sort of like a barley with some fresh ipa mixed in, and tons of caramel. strange. flavor is strong caramelly, malty, strong hoppy, sugary sweet, somewhere between barley wine and IPA. mouthfell is good. alc is hidden. very flavorfull.

Bouquet of cherries, pineapple, and dried leaves. Hazy amber, thin head, good lacing. It tastes of fig and horehound, quite bitter. Overly long lasting bitter finish. It didn’t flip my trigger, but I appreciate the one hop attempt, even if it was Hallertau.

Bottle thanks to St.fun. Pours with a hazy, amber orange body and a large, off-white head that leaves a good amount of lace. Aroma of orange, caramel, red fruits, raisins, and light grape. Taste is caramel, light fruit, and faded hallertau. A bit earthy overall. Light bubbles and a creamy mouthfeel.

Bottled@Konttori, Tampere. Amber colour, basically no head. Aroma is lots of fruity hops, some oaked notes as well as some herbal notes. Flavour is fruity, mildly yeasty, some alcohol, some plum as well as burnt sugar.. Huge grassy and caramelly peak in the finish. Hides the 9 % very well, since alcohol only shows as a slight sweetness.
