Bomber from Letspour.com. Nose is black raisins and some toffee. Clear cherrywood brown with a small beige head. Flavor is slightly bitter, contastingly sweet, and some dark fruit notes.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, no bottled dating but was purchased recently. Pours hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense off white head with nice retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of orange, grapefruit, pine, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, caramel, mango, herbal, floral, and citrus rind. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity. Taste of grapefruit, pine, orange, caramel, biscuit, mango, toast, herbal, floral, citrus rind, and piney spiciness. Good amount of spicy pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of citrus, pine, biscuit, caramel, floral, toast, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Pretty nice balance of flavors with a decent bitterness/sweetness balance. Moderately cloying pine bitterness present on the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy, slick, and sticky mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a very good IPA. Nice hop profile with decent balance; quite smooth to drink. Would have liked to see it a bit drier with less cloying bitterness; but this was still quite enjoyable.

Dark pour with a beige head. Aroma was lightly chocolate, cream, wood, a bit of earth. Medium bodied. Flavor has nice toasty malts, a bit of chocolate, coffee, light molasses. Solid brew.

Aroma: The nose has roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate, and hints of fruit, earth, and ash
Appearance: It pours a dark brown color with a small beige head and some light, spotty lace
Flavor: It tastes medium-plus sweet, with lots of malty flavors, eventually leading to a late bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, it has a soft carbonation, and a smooth, dry roasted mouthfeel
Overall Impression: I found this to be a quite solid Porter. The combination of the sweet malt flavors and the later bitterness worked pretty well in my opinion. Everything about this one hits the correct marks without really hitting either the good or the bad extremes.

Location: 22 oz bottle from State Line, 6/25/12

Aroma: The nose has a good amount of tropical fruit and grapefruit, with some resin notes
Appearance: Pours a cloudy orange color with a small, bubbly white head and some decent lacing
Flavor: It is mildly sweet from the tropical fruits, but the bitterness is clearly the dominant component here
Palate: The body is medium, it is sticky, has a soft-to-average carbonation, and a lingering, dry finish
Overall Impression: I actually quite enjoyed this one. It did a lot of what I want from an IPA. This one has a nice West Coast style to it. It isn't anything original, and it doesn't really approach the top-of-style offerings, but it is a heck of a solid IPA.
