Courtesy of Jeremy pouring a nice clear ruby red with tan head. The aroma has spicy hops, a touch of black strap molasses and some malt roastiness. The taste is forward with spicy hops, some spicy black licorice and floral hops. I notice as it warms the aroma opens up and spews out a thicket of perfumy floral hops. By midway and into the finish the taste picks up notes of roasted malts to help create a dry finish.

Courtesy of Jeremy. Thanks for trucking this down from Boise. Bomber pours copper with off white head. The aroma has grapefruit hops, more citrus notes and a decent load of butterscotch. The taste has pleasing notes of grapefruit hops and pine hops that come together in harmony. I get a bit of butterscotch coming into the picture about midway as well as growing notes of resiny bitter hoppiness heading into the finish.

Bottle - thanks BuckeyeBoy! Amber color with a modest creamy beige head. Aroma is a dry, floral hops and caramel blend with just a little Belgian yeast. Crisp florals, grapefruit, modest citrus sweetness, and a little yeast come together in the taste. Finishes well. A Belgian IPA and a job well done to the Boise brew crew.

Bottle - thanks BuckeyeBoy! Pours a dark amber color with a little haze and a modest sandy head. Sweet, intoxicating aroma of resiny, piney, and floral hops. Tastes hoppy enough, mostly floral, and some light malty sweetness. Has the grassy, dirty floral thing going on. Really reminds me of a bigger version of the original, which is good. I love the was double dagger smells, but I’d lean towards drinking the original on a daily basis...

On tap at Sockeye Boise. Pours out a crisp clear gold topped with a creamy off white head. Aroma was of floral hops, sweet malts, and a little grass. Taste was more of the floral notes along with a little bread. It finished off with a light bitter end. I like the idea of having two of our local breweries doing a collaboration.

On tap at the brewpub. Hazy redish brown with a thin light tan head that quickly receded to a thin line around he rim of the sniffter. Sweet woody malt aroma. Woody an earthy flavors with a alictly sour pitted fruit slant. Missing the full heavy high FG of my faces of the style. An unfiltered feel. Softly carbonated and a little ABV burn, but does not betray the 11+% it reportedly touts.
