22 oz bottle purchased at Argonaut in Denver, Colorado. Pour is black, brown and ruby with a very thin tan head. Aroma of rich roasted coffee, some smokiness, with just a whisper touch of wood. Rich and full nose. Taste is the roasted malt with a nice sharpness of dried sweet fruit. Woody oakiness present thoughout, really well integrated. The aftertaste has a leafy herbal element which is really unique. As it warms, the herbal element may be a tad too much. Comes across a touch bitter. Palate is medium bodied, really soft - very gentle carbonation. Really nicely put together beer.

Shared by theisti, thanks Tim. Pours black and forms a nice brown head when I agitate the glass. Aroma is roasty, has some flat malts (kind of like oat-like and steamy). I also get a lot of mint that I attribute to the oak. The flavor has lots of bitterness coming off the malts. and velvety sweet prune. There is a long bitter finish and more mint from the oak. Its sweet in the middle but drying at the end. Well crafted, lots small parts melded together but none of the flavors make me completely love it. Has a nice feel to it, viscous, full, and lightly undercarbonated.
22oz bottle, marked, thin, tall Boulevard tulip.

Bottle bought at Sams in Chicago. Hazy amber coloured pour with a medium head. Sweet, malty aroma. Sweet, hoppy, pineapple, malty taste. No bitterness at all. Not complex or balanced enough but not bad. Reminded me of a sweet version of Brewdog Hardcore Imperial IPA.

Pours looking like cola - the mouthfeel is also very similar to cola, with some prickly, fizzy carbonation on the tongue - very sweet and one-dimensional - some bitter, cheap-ass coffee flavor and a roasty/ashy quality - a tiny bit of bitterness on the end, but mostly a sugary sweetness - this tastes like someone’s first, semi-successful attempt at homebrew. 635310

Big thanks to kiefdog for sharing a bottle of this modusly good brew. Pours clear deep gold with thin off white head. The aroma is full with pine and grapefruit along with sweetness far off in the background. The taste is fruity with sweetened grapefruit and tangelo and then moving into a citrus candy like note. The malt sweetness is subtle and a bit slick at times. This brew carries plenty of yummy hop flavor and bitterness. Nice! Solid IPA.

Bomber - black pour with a soapy lace - aroma of roasted malt, cherries, bittersweet chocolate, oaky tannins - creamy, medium-full body - the flavor is dry and roasty, with a decent dose of smoke - a bit of cherry and a light acidity - anise and bitter chocolate - much less oak in the flavor than in the aroma, but it is still noticeable - the alcohol is very well-masked, and since it has a lighter body than your average 9.6% brew, it can catch up with you fast - quite a nice beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Dark mahogany colour, creamy head. Appley licorice nose. Sweet, clean and empty. Spritzyness resolves the hard malt into bubbles that disappear into vacuum. Caramel with salt and resin, but all diluted. Green apples comes to dominate the finish.

Bomber - turbid, glowing orange, with a huge, well-sustained, frothy head - yup, she looks purdy - clove, bubblegum, banana, some floral notes in the nose, some earthy wheat - full mouthfeel, medium-soft carbonation - moderate sweetness - tangy/tart character - a tad bit spicy, with some peppery alcohol heat on the tail end of things - clove and banana are there, but are fairly subdued - fairly refreshing for it’s strength, but hefty enough to keep you from drinking it too fast - not bad.

Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is a sweet malt with raisin and caramel. Medium mouthfeel with a light hop taste with caramel and citrus. A good amber fron Ska.
