This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy fine to large sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly diminishing and left behind a hazy softly carbonated orange brown colored body. The aroma was of dust and mild malts. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a interesting aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of malt and mild soapy hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Amber with a small head that quickly recedes. No lacings. Aroma is some apple juice, few floral hops. Taste is pretty bitterly hopped followed by a prominent alcohol taste. Like someone poured half a shot glass of vodka in my glass while I wasn’t looking. Some maltiness, breads. Mouthfeel was alright for the style. Drinkability is a bit below average due to the obvious alcohol taste. If you don’t mind plenty of alcohol in a otherwise light bodied beer, give this a try. It cetainly warmed me up! Serving type: bottle

Bottle. Aroma has malty sweetness plus some hops spiciness. Cloudy light golden body, medium sized off-white head. Flavor is a blend of spicy/fruity hops and the expected malty caramel. Clean finish. Very nice.

Grassy malt aroma. Good bottle and label, mostly cloudy, pollen-colored with a big fluffy oatmeal head. Tastes like a pretty big beer. Well-hopped, bitter, caramel, light astringency, seedy/grassy. Finishes off with lots of sunflower seeds. Grain sweetness. Slightly heavy body, long lightly bitter finish. Burns the windpipe a little.

Bomber pours clear deep gold with wafer thin white head. The aroma is sort of sugar sweet prunes, black grapes and raisins to go along with faint malts with a hint of stale cardboard and even fainter spicy hops. The taste is much the same with an initial pulse of sweet dark fruity esters, some caramel and mildly roasty malts, some of the organic malty stale twang mixing in with light yet building noble hops. The fruity esters and mild caramel create a moment of barleywine style sensation. Above average offering from Bison.

22oz bottle. Golden color. Aroma is of aged malts. Sweet, hints of honey. Bold malt character. Light-medium bodied. Refreshingly tasty.

Bottle. Hazy light honey colored pour with a white head. Aroma is sweet caramel and pleasant noble hops. Flavor is more caramel and noble hops with a hint of honey and some kind of spice, perhaps from the hops. Nicely put together.

Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 22 oz bomber. Slightly murky, light orange pour with a very light white head. Malty aroma with some sweet caramel notes. Flavor has some raisin like qualities to it with hints of baked brown bread and molasses. Just a hint of sweet spiciness - reminiscent of cinnamon. Improves as it warms and would make a good winter time companion. Mouthfeel is thick, rich and creamy. Solid effort from Bison.
