Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dark copper with a nearly creamy beige head. Aroma is mild caramel. Med body - mostly cause of the carbonation. Flavor starts with caramel accompanied by mild chocolate. Not very dry. Not very sweet. Finish tends to show more chocolate than hop. It’s an amber.

Draught. Poured dark amber with thick white head. Beers from Lucky Labrador always look good. Restrained hop aroma, there was a bit of chocolate, but perhaps too restrained. Flavour was good, malt and hop in well balance, with ’n bietjie chocolate. Long hop finish.
