Bomber from Malt and Vine. Pours translucent gold with a slight white head. Aroma is very light citrus. Near medium body. Flavor is mild citrus hop moving quickly to fairly strong citrus and earthy hop. Malt is quite light. So light it suggests a lemony/kolsch/breadiness. Most low ABVs seem ingredient light, but this one not so much. It’s an ale one could drink "as the evening wore on." Even if one were not in Akron.

Bomber from Malt and Vine. Pours opaque brown with a creamy dark beige head. Aroma is chocolate with a little citrus/pine backdrop. Near full bodied, at least until the carb leaves. The flavor is dark roast malt, chocolate, earth, and arguably citrus/pine. There’s a very light hop burn, but the hop flavors are submerged in the malt parts. Well balanced. Neither sweet nor dry exactly. With time some citrus/pine aspects become clearer - must be mouth buildup. Good ale, but not amazingly good.

Bottled @ Beer Temple. Hazy to cloudy amber color, short head, loads of yeast floating around. You don’t see that much often in American brews, that much yeast cake. Aroma of soft grapefruit and pine, some malt. Medium bitter, hint of sweetness. Easy drinker actually, but it didn’t excite me that much.

Bottle @ Beer Temple. Hazy orange color, lots of yeast residu floating in it, small to medium sized off-white head yhat leaves good lacing. Smell moderately malty, lots of hops, pine. Taste malts, lots of hops, pine, resin, very nice bitterness. Moderately dry finish, medium to full body, medium carbonation. Very nice indeed.

On tap. Near black pour with a minimal tan head. Aromas are of brown sugar, cocoa, floral hops, pine and some minerals. Resiny, low esters. Too much malt and probably a touch faded on the hop profile. Flavors are pine, molasses, coffee, brown sugar, medium sweet yet strongly bitter. Not my sort of Black IPA. Thin yet sweet, medium carbonation with a resiny finish.

0.65l bottle from Barley Wine. Been saving this for a while. It pours a near black body with a nice big almost creamy looking chocolaty head that's quite lacing. It smells really nice with salty licorice, roasted malts, leather couch, soft vanilla, some chili-like coffee, also traces of chocolate and something slightly reminding of burned bread. Not bad at all. Oh, it's soy-salty with tons of licorice in the taste this! The carbonation is definitely present and it has a good thick oily mouthfeel. Mmore salty licorice with both strong espresso coffee, south American coffee, something slightly spicy and the chocolate is dancing on my tongue. The alcohol percent is totally absent in this one. Roasted dark flavors with a salty soy and strong licorice touch would sum this one up pretty nicely. Flavors that I always want more of! 27.12.2012
