Bomber courtesy of douglas88. Pours deep darkness with nice mocha head. The aroma offers up a mixture of caramel, black strap molasses, dark roasted malts, chocolate malts, semi tart and fruity chocolate covered pomegranates and earthiness. Hmmm. The taste starts off with dark roasted malts, some sweet dark fruity esters and then spicy black licorice. To midway a nice load of chocolate brownie comes forward. It ends pretty neutral.

Draft at Rustico, must be Release #3. Poured a hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma was heavy on the spices: Ginger dominates with other coriander, anise, cloves with a relatively healthy amount of apples. I was hoping for a bit more of a tart Granny Smith apple flavor, with a bit less spice.

Bottle thanks to Douglas, shared with my roommate. Pours a near clear reddish amber with an off-white head that dissipated to the edges and laced slightly. Aroma has a good amount of hops with a combination of grass, pine and earthy citrus. Flavor is similar with some grains in the start with a growing hop note of light pine and a bit of earthiness.

Bottle thanks to Douglas, shared with my roommate. Pours a clear slightly pale gold with a white head that dissipated to the edges and laced slightly. Aroma has a nice hop aroma with a combination of flora, grass and a hint of backing pine. Flavor starts with some earthy grass and flora with a grain backbone. Nice a crisp.

22oz bottle. Poured a clear light copper color with a small, thin head. Aroma was grain notes, like brown rice (went well with my brown rice sushi I ate). Flavor was a touch of brown rice, mild, a bit like a lager. Not too bad, but nothing spectacular.

22oz bomber. Clean and easy. Orange-tan. Oily head. Smooth, clean malt tones, some mellow herbal hop tones. Quite well balanced. Nothing like an English Mild, but a very nice session beer.
