Tap at the brewery - listed.as 10.2 abv, so perhaps a new entry is in order?.- anyway, this is crazy sweet and tastes mostly like whiskey, at least up front, but it actually.dries out a bit and.develops a complex spicy yeast character reminiscent of their tripel - so it really ends on a high note, and the mild peatiness compliments the yeast phenolics really well - seriously growing on.me.

Bomber - bought this because of a pleasant experience with their Tripel last week - I also need to revisit their flagship quad - dark ruby - doesn’t kick up a head at first, but as it sits, it actually starts to develop a fairly thick lace - nose is toffee, plum, treacle, toasted coconut, vanilla - a bit boozy, which mixes with some underlying spiciness and doughiness that makes this smell a bit like rum balls to me - low carbonation - texture is a little watery - quite boozy when cold - this mellows out a bit as it warms, but it remains a bit boozy in the finish - quite sweet, almost syrupy - some plum - moderate toasty vanilla oakiness - a light tartness develops late, and some mild spicy and dusty yeast character breaks through momentarily - finish is mostly sweet, with fairly high heat, some muddled phenolics - not that good - hopefully my attempt at the new quandary will yield a more pleasant experience.

Bomber - hazy gold - fairly thick, frothy lace - nose is nice and spicy, with some tropical pineapple character, moderate bitterness, floral notes, honey, grape must - low carbonation - fairly creamy texture - excellent balance between honeyed malt sweetness, spicy character, and finishing bitterness - some tropical flavor, mild alcohol warmth - a bit of pear - finish is warm, spicy, medium-dry - this is really good - I need to start giving more of their stuff a try now that they seem to be hitting their stride.

At the brewery during GABF week, 2014. Better than the black ipa. Hops and yeast aroma. Easily recognizable as a Belgian style ipa with the yeast and hops, a little sweet.

At the brewery during GABF week, 2014. Moderately sweet. some coriander flavor with light spice, and surprisingly a dry, crisp finish that is unusual for a wit.

At the brewery during GABF week, 2014. Aroma with flowers and a strong scent of honey and more in the flavor. Sweet and thick. Oak comes through in the finish. Dark orange color.

At the brewery during GABF week, 2014. Low carbonation. Brett in the aroma and some dry yeast beneath sweet sugar. Some alcohol aroma as well. I wish I picked up more of the red wine.

At the brewery during GABF week, 2014. Dry. Subtle spice. Grass and earthy, dry overall, some yeast in the finish. Decent.
