6/10
Bottle from Brewers Haven. Deep, rich golden body, big foamy head subsides to tight cap. Malty aroma, small hop notes reverses in taste, more dry hop bitterness presents itself. Overall, pretty balanced, light citrus notes.

Bottle from HomeBrewStuff. Dark amber / brown, small bubbly head. Deep, dark malts, tannic notes, leather, tobacco. Taste is also focused on the malts, brown bread, fruitcake. Gentle sweetness, big bitterness. Pretty darn good.

Bottle from a Safeway on the road from Seattle to Spokane. Poured into a nice plastic cup, in Glacier National Park. Clear dark golden with a foamy, white head. The aroma contains citrus, ginger, honey, wheat, spices and malt. It tastes light sour, light sweet and light to medium bitter, effectively showing the ginger, honey and wheat. Light body, slick texture, soft fizzy carbonation. A slight kick of alcohol in the finish, which is striking for 6%. A strange, though interesting beer that lives up to its promise on the label (yet I think this is far from a German Hefeweizen and more of a Spice/Herb/Vegetable).

From a bottle. Blacl beer. Malt aroma. Flavor is malt, milk sugar, and a little red wine. Good palate, but maybe too sweet.

Can. Amber color with a small beige head, spotty lacing. Smells malty and a little dank. Interesting combination of sweet and floral hops. Tastes malt forward, its sweet. Some floral hop notes and a bit of wet cardboard.

Bomber from the grocery store. Aroma is fresh citrusy, dank PNW hops alongside caramel malt, dark fruit, garbage. Pours hazy amber with a medium beige head with good retention; reduces to a big bubbly collar and some lace. Taste is chocolate, fresh hops, roasty, a little garbage; highly bitter for style--seems much more bitter than the advertised 18 IBUs. It doesn’t taste like an ESB at all, though. It’s like a fresh highly hopped amber/brown ale. Weird hybrid. Would be a roaring success without that garbagey element.

Copper with a white head. Strong hop profile. Some fruit and pine throughout. Powerful hop pellet profile. A bit of vomit, which needless to say is off-putting. I go a bit back and forth with this one but the vomit "wins" out and I can’t get down with this pale.

22 oz bottle poured. Big IPA here for sure. Dark, thick copper pour with a ton of cream foam head. Comes off as a winter IPA to me. Bold, dense, and warming. Love the label, and descriptors to pair. A roasted heavy malt aroma. Flavor is quite toasty as well. Bold, almost spiced malt constant, with a moderate bitter. Has a doughy side to it as well. Hops more noticeable as it warms. A big toasty beer here. Very unique for an IIPA, or for any beer really. Not bad.
