Caldera Chocolate Lavender Pink Peppercorn Imperial Stout 8.8% Deep coal black with a thick rocky tan foam that leaves copious lacing and lingers. Very full bodied. The aroma is cake like - that lavender, chocolate and pink peppercorn combine to create something shake or pastry like. The taste has perceived sweetness but isn’t sugary, It delivers the same flavors as the aroma. It paired well with ginger snap cookies that brought out some roast dark malt character. Probably the most interesting beer I’ve had from Caldera.

500 ml bottle from Harry & Davis in Medford, OR. Pours dark gold with a large white head. Aroma of tart mixed tropicals. Med body or so. Flavor is tart, mildly sour. There's blood orange with something like green guava - there's some prickliness that suggests passion fruit. Finishes with some malt that's not all that tasty. Interesting. Different.

Can, huge thanks either Mowbeer or Tony K for sharing. Brownish body, off white head. Chocolate, lavender and minty notes in the aroma, fairly along the lines of what one might have expected from this. Lean taste, mint chocolate, citric notes, lavender is lighter here, ends a bit dry and bitterish. Very much interesting!

Ein Bier, das sich selbst den Titel Robust Porter gibt und ich muss sagen, dass das ganz gut passt. Ein schön vollmundiger Porter mit schokoladig-kakaolastigen Aromen, das gewiss urig ist, ohne muffig zu wirken. Wirklich gut gelungenes amerikanisches Porter.

Koekjes en zachte bourbon, wat chocola. Ietwat dun, maar 8.5% verklaart dat wel, zonder leeg te zijn. Fijn bier

Burk från SB. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad klar vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Rejäl kropp med karamell och grapemarmeld, värmande alkohol, lite pastill, mineraller, torkad frukt. En hel del humle också med rejäl grapeskalsbeska. Trevlig

Même s'il lui manque un petit supplément d'âme cette IPA de la brasserie Caldera, à base d'Amarillo, Simcoe et Centennial, est bien réalisée, bien équilibrée avec à la fois une base dense et une amertume bien pensée et sur des arômes d'orange, pamplemousse et herbes appréciables. Mention spéciale à l'alcool, à 6,1% structurant très bien l'ensemble. En ce qui concerne l'Amarillo, on ne le ressent pas exactement même si je pense qu'il joue sur la complexité aromatique, plutôt bonne. Le visuel est sur un ambré limpide sans mousse. Le nez est sur des arômes pleins sur les résineux, le miel et les agrumes (notamment orange et pamplemousse). L'attaque, sur une bonne amertume sur une base qui reste encore relativement fine. On y retrouve les arômes présents au nez. L'ensemble se densifie en seconde bouche avec une alliance aromatique peu recherchée mais efficace. L’arrière-bouche présente intelligemment une amertume plus saillante, tout comme le final, sur des airs de bitter italiens. Sans être extravagante, belle IPA.
