Bomber from Oak Tree, S. Plainfield. Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a large foamy brown head that makes up more than half the pour. Good head retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, coffee, floral hops and faint fruits. The taste is roasted malts, cocoa, caramel, mild hops. Medium-full bodied, kinda chewy, no heat, very drinkable. This stuff could be dangerous.

Tap at the Stagshead. Pours maroonish with light toasted nose. Tastes of toast, earth, celery, floral, chocolates, some wood and malt. Kinda odd but allright

New Beer Distributors, NY 355ml ($2.25): Pours a copper colour with a white head. Aroma is lightly, generically hopped with a malty backbone. This is not hop slaughter; instead, it is a rather standard Northeastern IPA. ’Tis easy to drink and is certainly offensive. Not great, but not terrible.

ChrisOs Crimbo Tasting. Opaque dark brown beer. Nice pale tan head fluffy head. Light bourbon nose. Light palate, crisp. Minerals. Tangy bourbon that is a little bit fruity. Subtle coconut and a little aniseed. Light finish. Very light BA beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a large beige head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is bready malt and caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a sweet roasted malt and caramel. A decent dark lager from Cricket Hill. 

12 oz. bottle. Pours deep gold with thin white head. The nose is citrus oranges, some lemon rind, yeast, and light banana. Flavor is sweet, sugars, yeast, lemons and oranges. Light, watery body with average carbonation. The one thing this brew has is; easy drinkability. I killed three bottles of the 6 pack in no time.

12 oz. bottle. Hazy amber or copper color. Lasting fluffy, full head. Very nice English example. Malt is the main player with a mild, malt sweetness, light bitterness, and hints of grassy hops. Slightly herbal. Balanced well. A bit under-rated if you ask me. People must be expecting an American hop bomb, which this clearly is not. If you realize this is the English interpretation before you drink it, you should not be too disappointed. I like it well enough.
