Bombastic Brewing
Contract Brewer
in Hayden,
Idaho,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Bombastic Brewing
Established in 2016
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.

Aroma is cinnamon out of the gate, followed by chocolate and roasty malt. Taste is bittersweet like dark chocolate and has a fairly spicy pepper heat. Highly carbonated—more than usual for an imperial stout. A little thin, but good flavors.

Aroma is bready, overripe citrus fruit, slightly vegetal. Taste is bittersweet, finishing dry, with vague fruity hop and bready malt flavors. Softly carbonated.

Aroma has notes of chocolate, caramel, orange. Taste is moderately sweet with some firm bitterness on the back end that builds on the palate. Prominent flavors of chocolate, orange, toffee, nutmeg, herbal hops. Softy carbonated.

16oz can. Thicknslock black pour with a deep mocha colored head. Soft notes of dark roast and coffee and maybe a touch of the maple. Flavors mainly the roastiness. A little dark chocolate and vanilla. Very tasty. Thanks Paul

16oz can from HomeBrewStuff clear redish amber pour. A brief tan skin of bubbles can be coaxed with an aggressive pour. Faint light toasted malt and some pale rip pitted fruit aromas. Flavors are similar but with some resinous hop bitterness crowding its way in for balance. Middle of the road, but smooth and balanced. Would not have guessed the high ABV

Sweet, artificial orange flavor is a little off

On tap at Elizabeth Station, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma is loaded with marshmallow, dark sugars, and a touch of gentle roast. Flavour is surprisingly soft on the palate -- courtesy of the marshmallow, I guess -- with dark sugars, marshmallow, roast, and a little molasses. It doesn't clobber you at all; it just aims for balance and drinkability despite the gravity and intensity. Very good.
