12 oz bottle. Dark reddish amber, thin head. Aroma is cherries, spice, roasted malts, brown sugar, cinnamon, toffee, and something I never can place on these holiday beers. Flavor was just the same. Very sweet but I could not imagine having more than one at any particular time.

Bomber pours clear amber with nice off with to tan head. Full aroma of plums, cherries, spice, a hint of roasted malts and powdered sugar. The taste is nice, rich and thick. Just what I was hoping for. I get cherries, sugar coated plums, boysenberries, pomegranates and mild spice. Midway the roastiness shows up creating a real nice mix of flavors. Great winter sort of low ABV beer that works well. At the end a pale toffee maltiness takes over the flavor to help close on the experience. Yum.

Bottle. Wow! roma is odd, innovative and hits me in the face as I’m pouring. I’m grinding gears to describe it well, but I would say it is vinous and has notes of anise, chalk, alcohol, white raisins and bourbon. Body is a cloudy brown hue that is pretty fizzy at first and it is one of those odd beers that release a lot of carbonation as you sip. This is a bit distracting and detracts from my enjoyment. Flavor is fairly sweet and those vinous and bourbon notes have me wondering if it is barrel aged... (if you made me guess, I would have said so.) Brown sugar and a touch of dark fruit in the palate. Hmmm... I hoped for better.

Black with a big and lasting, frothy, off-white head. Chocolate, biscuit in the aroma, not very complex. Grainy, roast flavour, thin initially, with a nice roast finish.

12oz bottle-pours an off white head and hazy gold color. Aroma is somewhat bitter citrus hops, secondary/faint medium malt-biscuity. Taste is somewhat bitter citrus hops, secondary/faint medium malt-biscuity, nicely balanced. A bit over carbonated, which is rare for me. Thanks Wasatch.

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Nice hop aroma, with scent of sweet oranges. Good mouthfeel, medium caramel, strong hop, very aromatic, with toffee tones. Extremely powerful and long final, a bit fruity too and resiny.
Tasted side to side with Bell’s Two Hearted IPA, the latter wins.
