Bottle @ Seabass going away party, Jan15th ’11 dorée couleur paille, mousse est fine, blanche. Malt de blé au devant suivi flocons d’avoine, pomme, épices allant de la cannelle, gingembre, girofle et des saveurs de levure belge. Le tout a une fine amertume et d’aigreur venant sûrement de la pomme et du houblon donnant à cette dernière une approche de citron. Une très bonne saison et encore du bon boulot pour Epic qui signe là une autre merveille.

Bouteille partagée avec Ibrew2or3. Couleur dorée paille, mousse blanche. Qcq notes de riz, malt et houblon avec un léger aspect de fleur. Le riz se mélange bien avec le houblon pour un palais un peu citronné laissant une fine pellicule d’amertume au fini. L’usage de riz est perceptible et donne une bonne dimension à la bière qui surpasse de loin les autres grosses brasseries qui utilisent du riz pour un résultat plus que médiocre.

Bottle at Brewforia Beer Market in Meridian, ID Ruby red color and nary a head but for a thin line of bobbles around the edge. Nice Cherry aroma, slightly of cough syrup, and a soft woody note as well. Flavor was a nice balance of the moderate Belgian yeast character and an up front byt not over powering cherry flavor. A little alcohol note added to the slight cough syrup flavor, but nicely done. Mild and not obnoxious, but not particularly bold and daring. Tasty.

Bottle: Dark brown pour with a thin, creamy brown head. Light aroma is dry and roasty with bits of bittersweet cocoa. Roasty overtones dominate the flavor, but there is not much else going on. A little bittersweetness in the tail. A little metallic twang that goes away once it warms a bit. Ok, but nothing noteworthy.

Bomber courtesy of douglas88 pouring clear copper with tan head. The aroma has muted spicy to earthy hoppy notes followed quickly by various malts. The taste has plenty of floral and spicy hops to go around as it rolls into earthy hops, malt sweetness, some biscuit malt qualities and then sweet caramel malts too.

Bomber courtesy of douglas88 pouring clear copper with light tan head. The aroma is biscuit, malt, some caramel malt and modestly roasted malts. The taste is biscuity, malty and has pulses of vague hop bitterness as well as sweet caramel malts. It seems to get a touch grainy around the edges as it heads into the finish. Full malt forward brew seeming somewhat disjointed.
