Fairly dark brown. No head. Pretty lifeless in the glass. The aroma is nutty (almond, peanut), slighty hoppy, slightly roasty. Flavour is light roast, nuts and chocolate. Almost watery in the finish, and certainly is so on a "to style" basis. Really standard, like what you’d expect from a chain brewpub in a second-tier strip mall in a third-tier suburb. Surely Lagunitas can do better than this.

Bomber. Hazy light orange color. Perfect crisp, hop aroma. This is an intense hop beer. The alcohol is hard to detect, especially for a beer with a slightly higher percentage than many beers.

Bomber; $2.59 at Ledgers in Berkeley, CA; Nose of coffee and cocoa with some floral hops in the background; clear dark brown, but it was so dark it was nearly opaque, with a very tiny tan head which quicly disapated; flavor of strong roasty coffee with a background chocolate and hop bitterness in the medium body with the hops lingering to the finish. Best $2.59 bomber I’ve had!

12 oz Bottle pours out a clear amber topped with a light tan head. A very nice aroma of hops. A great sweat tast. I will have to pick up a few more of them for another time. Very good.

Bottle. Chocolate/coffee malt aroma with a hint of burnt wood. Dark brown with moderate head. Chocolate fudge and coffee flavor with moderate hops finish. Nice thick flavor - made me smack my lips with every sip. Greatly enjoyable beer.

bottle...mild aroma, consisting of muddled citrus...i wanna swim in its amber wonder and emerge my head throughout the thin but present foam....as my lungs fill with air, they also fill with a wonderful aroma, yum beer...smells like some weird strain of hop or a combo of hops...interesting...taste on the other hand is somewhat average...easy to drink with a dryness to the finish

Murky brown-amber pour with a thin and foamy off-white head. Thin spotty lacing as well. The aroma is sharply hoppy with sweet fruit and molasses coming through more as it warms. The labeling on this one really threw me off as I was expecting more of a sweet brown ale. Once my taste buds told me it was actually a Barley Wine I was able to recover. Very hoppy on the front end, along with some peppery alcohol. The flavor mellows a bit as malt and fruits start to seep in. The finish is round and fruity with an alcohol burn leftover. Above average, and kind of unique to boot.

Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a beige/yellow color ale with a medium bubbly head with average retention. Aroma of C-hops is quite powerful with lots of citrus and floral notes. Taste is quite bitter with huge citrus and floral hops with a big grassy feel. Malt is more subdued then I would have liked it with limited caramel. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Good take on the style but it is missing something (malt?) to make it truly great.
