Bomber from South Bay Drug. Pours a very dark ruby amber with a large, creamy beige head. Lots of aroma - resin over dark roast caramel. Medium plus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is fruity/floral over smooth roasted malt. Very hoppy, but not super bitter. Goes just a tad malty in the finish, but there is some astringency. Pretty tasty.

On tap at Stone. Pours with a large white head over a clear gold-to-amber body. Aroma is hoppy with orange, tangerine, sap and caramel. Taste is pine and kumquat, with a caramel back bone. 8.5% is really well hidden. Bubbly carbonation with a somewhat dry mouthfeel.

Bottle marked 02/2009 (marked as 9%ABV). Pours with a brown head over a very deep brown body with copper tinges, and good lacing with awesome retention. Aroma of chocolate, hops, smoke, berries and caramel. Taste is hops, berries, chocolate, strong bitterness and caramel. Creamy carbonation. Doesn’t meld as well as some other imperial reds...quite different from the average too. Gets individual numbers that probably represent a higher score than I would have expected...
