I wasn’t so in to this. Mild coffee aroma on the black beer. Well carbonated. Some dry oak flavor combined with the taste of an oatmeal stout. There is also some chocolate and unprocessed grain.

Little detectable aroma. Light rootbeer color, somewhat like darker cream soda. Slow rising sparkling carbonation, very unique appearnce. Taste however, leaves carbonation to be desired. Coarse alky impact, much more than the 6% listed here. Overall, just a little too much personality for my taste buds.

Cloudy golden-orange with beige head....smells like sour hops, even a tad swampy....I imagine rugged hops still implanted in their bed of soil, but someone has dumped swamp mud on top of them....tastes almost like a home brew, unbalanced and so average...bitter finish like cascade hops....the malts have a sweet kids cereal essence....medium bodied to light, but not just right....did I mention unbalanced

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is a very nice hop and malt combo with a nice spice coming through. Flavor is very herbal and heavy. Finish is earthy and bitter. A nice take on the style and one you should seek out.

Bomber poured into an imperial pint glass - hazy orange beer, with a slight bit of froth on the top - semi-sweet, bready aroma, with some toasty qualities, a touch of gingerbread - soft carbonation - a tiny bit spicy up front, beginning more like a hoppy american pale - a biscuity british maltiness quickly tastes it’s place, as a few hops stick around, making the beer taste very bitter-like - - somewhat metallic and acidic in the middle - a bit of tangy orange flavor, a long-lingering biscuity/toasty taste, and some light cereal/grains - not really an english strong - more like a high gravity bitter.

Looks great with a cream colored thick head that lasts for a good few moments. Hazy light brown color going for it. Smell pretty swank with citrusy and hoppy notes to it. Taste is slightly hoppy and a wee bit bitter. There is also something in it that makes it taste almost sweet, but not quite. Few hints of the citrusy elements. Overall rather drinkable and rather good.

12oz bottle pours out a amber topped with a small white head. A odd smell of some sort of fuel. A touch of hops but not very good. Thanks Indiana_red

Bottle pours a medium orange amber. Small sandy colored head. Faint fumy aroma of light malts. Flavor was bitter and sour. Harsh soapy cardboard flavors. This can’t be how it is supposed to be. Not good.
