Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a deep brownish-amber color with a medium light tan head that diminishes steadily. Rings of lacing. Aroma of malt, molasses and a bit of citrus. Medium body with flavors of sweet caramel malt, citrus and hops. The finish is malty with a lingering sweetness. Decent brew overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear dark yellow-gold color with a medium fluffy white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of mildly spiced hops and malt. Light body with flavors of fruity hops, sweet malt and herbs. The finish is fruity with a mild hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

On tap (no vintage labeled) at Blue Palms. Pours with a light brown body and an off-white head. Aroma is hoppy. Citrus, dryness, and dirt are the main characteristics. Flavors are citrus hoppy, earthy, caramel, bitter with lively bubbles. Okay, but I don’t see anything holiday or interesting about it.

Bomber from Country Club Liquors. Nose is of ivy, dark rye bread, and hints of caramelized sugar. Clear light brown with a medium, nicely lacing beige head. Flavor is bigtime ivy bitterness, tons of rye breadiness, and hints of caramel. Excellent new version!

Bomber thankfully received from IrishBoy. Pours hazy dirty gold with a 3 finger foamy off-white head. The pie spice aroma is detectable a foot away! The nose is incredibly intense. Almost like spice and burnt squash. Maybe cooked squash. Near med body with foamy carb. The allspice is huge. I think I get cooked squash, but this is all about the spice. Brewed with a hint of allspice? I don’t think so. This is all about taking the spice to the extreme. Works well!

Draft at the brewpub and growler at home. Nose is lemony citrus with floral notes and hints of caramel malt. Clear yellow gold with a medium yellow tinged head. Flavor is nicely bitter with lemon and a slight pine note. Not as good as Just Outstanding but pretty darn good for a fresh hop ale.

On tap with a clear yellow body and a lasting white head. Aroma is really nice and fresh: tropical fruit, orange peel, grain and lightly spicy. Taste is pretty dank, orange, tropical fruits and a nicy graininess. Really well done! Dry with medium bubbles.

Bottle (marked at 8.5%). I am bummed I have to miss Batch #2 Barrel Aged Class V on Wednesday, but family is more important. I guess I’ll see it next year, right Kyle/Eric? Pours with a brown head that stays and a pretty much black body. Big aromas of coffee, leather, creamer, earth, dark cocoa, lots of bitterness. Very roasty and earthy. Flavors are ashy with lots of espresso. Slight acidic coffee flavor. Earthy. Tons of chocolate. Pretty lively bubbles for a stout. Lots of flavor, but there is an acidity to it. I am pretty sure that this is coming from the roast/coffee, and not from an infection. Creamy mouthfeel. Very nice. Good lingering bitterness. Looking forward to the BA one (this year or next year).
