22oz bomber pours with a clear ruby red amber sort of colored body that supports a thin light tan head. The aroma offers up loads of pine hops mixed with red apple fruity esters, sweet malts, a touch of caramel and then some booze at the end of the draw. The taste starts with a rush of sweet malts, sweet dark fruity esters and loads of bitter and resiny pine hoppiness that is thinly rimmed with booziness. The slick malt sweetness grows to midway but the firm resiny pine hops just don’t give up much ground. This is a little too harsh and oddly too sweet to really enjoy.

22oz bottle pours a translucent mahogany amber with some very fizzy beige head. Nose of dried malt, cocoa powder, cracker, ancho chile, raisin. Flavor is malty, cracker, toast, chocolate, raisin, black pepper. The high level of carbonation is distracting. Peppery finish.

Bottle thanks to Travlr, thanks Gene! Poured a dark black color with a huge, gushing tan head. Woah, wow. Aroma was some funky notes, with some notes of bitter malts, chocolate notes. Flavor is a touch infected chocolate, bitter malts. Wish it was better.
