Bomber - pours a viscous jet black - headless - nose is full of oaky bourbon, light umami, espresso, jammy red wine - slick mouthfeel, full body - warming, but not boozy - very well-makes alcohol - deeply oaky, with rich whiskey in the background under umami and dark chocolate black malt richness - whiskey comes to the fore in the finish, along with some tannic jammy red raspberry - it’s damn balanced and refined for a beer of this strength.

16 oz. can, pours a cloudy golden orange with a small white head. Nose is vibrant, with lots of tropical melony hops, fresh doughy malts, and pine. Flavour is bright, with fresh doughy malts, soft melony hops, a touch of pine, and a touch of tropical juiciness. Very low bitterness, but well-hopped and vibrant. Excellent fresh hop.

16 oz. can, pours a lightly hazed pale golden blonde with a medium white head. Aroma has fresh, soft doughy malt and not much actual hop character—maybe soft floral hops, but no allium thankfully. Flavour is more expressive of conventional Citra, with some allium, floral hops, and doughy malt. Low bitterness, finishing more oniony than I want but not egregiously so. Good structure but would be better with different hops.

Imperial pint can. Mango aroma with notes of grapefruit, orange, tangerine, grassy and pine resiny hops. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with mango, orange and grassy hop flavors. Finishes dry but still smooth with grapefruit, tangerine and pine resiny hop flavors. Good, well balanced ipa.
