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.

Can. Pours a pure black hue, oil can, a small beige head. A big sweet nose, tons of lactose, nutty. Rich, there is no alcohol at all, chocolate muffins? OK, pretty much. Even lots of mint. No heat. 14%? If so, quite good.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark brown pour, one finger beige foamy head. Nutty, smoky aroma, sweet notes. Taste is malty, sweet, nutty, smoky, strong. Like an altbier and a rauchbier, rolled up together, but throw in some Barleywine on top. Strength is apparent if not immediately noticeable. Sweet, toasty, woody, ashy. Love it!

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Near black pour, instant beige head disappears. Roasty malt aroma, dark chocolate, notes of maple. In the taste, bitter roasty malts edge out the sweet maple. Overall it strikes a really nice balance, creamy feel, mild stickiness at the finish. High ABV not very noticeable.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Near black pour with a large, beige foamy head. Sweet chocolaty aroma. Taste is sweet, chocolate syrup, light vanilla and milk. Very sweet, which helps mask the high ABV. Drinks like a glass of chocolate milk with a heavy hand on the syrup.
