Description
Early in the 21st century, a vision was born. A dream to unite the land of brews, bring harmony to all who pledged their strength… and make some damn good beer. They who had the vision started the journey and thus began the story… nay… the legend of Bombastic Brewing.

Bombastic Brewing began in 2016. Inspired by the scale of Sierra Nevada, the “gypsy” model of Mikkeller, the business model of early Sam Adams, and the opportunity to make a positive impact in the world through craft beer, Russell Mann sold his retail beer business and set out to create an interesting craft brewery, built in a different model: Partner Brewing.

He took on two co-founders, and being thwarted from Partner Brewing by Johnny Law, Bombastic pivoted and started brewing on a 30, then 50 gallon system in a garage-style facility by the airport. Bombastic would roll open the big garage doors every Saturday to welcome the brave craft beer enthusiasts who showed up and had a great time, buying out every release.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is dark fruit, licorice, chocolate. Pours inky black with a thin dark tan head that falls quickly into a ring. Taste is sweet and savory with flavors matching the aroma. ABV warms the belly. Mouthfeel is syrupy, carbonation is light. Nice beer, but it might be a little too sweet for me. A sipper, for sure.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is dark bread, raisin, chocolate, coffee, cinnamon. Pours black with a thin beige head that falls pretty quickly into a ring. Taste has a fairly high level of heat and it lingers long after the swallow. No puny hints of subtlety here, despite what the label says. I like that, though. I'd rather have lots of heat than mere hints of it. Perfect mouthfeel with the right amount of carbonation. This is the best Sleuth yet.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is blueberry, chalky candy, vanilla, a light breadiness that makes it smell a bit like a blueberry muffin. Pours a murky rust-colored hue with a one finger white head with a purple tint. Taste has a moderate bitterness, some light sweetness and light tartness from the fruit. Flavors of blueberry, citrusy hops, vanilla. Tasty.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is light roast, dark bread, dark fruit, dusty old books, wort. Beautiful looking beer--pours black with a two finger tan head with excellent retention and sheets of lace. Taste is moderately bitter with no sweetness. Has a light acidity and tartness. Finishes dry with a lingering bitterness. Very foamy and highly carbonated. Not bad.

Bomber from the brewery. Aroma is nutty, chocolate, coconut, earthy. Pours black with a thin tan head that disappears in a crackling cacophony within thirty seconds. Taste is dry with hints of sweetness with flavors of coconut, chocolate, earth, nuts, licorice, leather, wood. Highly carbonated. Not bad, but I would've liked a more velvety mouthfeel with tight, compact carbonation. Really nice aroma and pretty good flavors, though.
