Donated by Buckeye Brewing for ALS Beer Dinner Benefit. Gavin told me this was their Old Ale but RB classifies it as American Strong so I don’t really know what to do with that. LOVE THE BOTTLE LABEL SO MUCH!!! Pours about the same color but a little lighter than their Mammoth Stout with a lighter off-white head. The aroma is not overwhelming, sweet malts balanced really nicely against the hops. The flavor doesn’t overwhelm the palate, super drinkable but didn’t have that wow factor I was expecting.

Sep 19, 2009 Bottle… Deep, clear copper ale with a small, creamy, off-white head. Good retention. The restrained nose provides caramel and a rumor of chocolate alongside herbal, earthy, piney notes. Full-bodied and very creamy with weighted-down carbonation. There’s plenty of malt sweetness and specialty grain body here. The generous hop bitterness evens things out nicely, but the malts and hops used are not synergistic or even all that compatible. The result is a bland beer with lots of promise wasted. Technically, a very good beer, but it lacks soul or character. The perfect beer if you’re into “almost.”

Sep 12, 2009 Murky burnt orange pour, not much head. Big stinky hop nose, very catty, skunky and funky, toast, bread, and some light doughy malts. The flavor is earthy up front, tons of pine, leafy foliage, some weed, darker caramel malts, dough, toast. Nice dank finish. Very earthy bitterness. SOme alcohol as well. Nice.

Jul 7, 2009 A thin looking light brown pour with aroma of light caramel malt. Light/medium caramel malt with a decent hop finish. A bit thin with good carbonation. A beer I would drink again.

Jul 3, 2009 22 oz bottle. Dark amber, just clear, with a spongy beige head. Nose is orange and caramel with musty hops. Medium body with a tang. Taste is caramel, cannabis, bitter grass and grapefruit peel. Well balanced for a potent brew.

Jun 26, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG09. Deep brown beer with no real head. The aroma is great. Bright fresh hoppy nose. A chewy/piny nose with a big bright character. Fresh and zesty with a touch of light grassiness. Lots of hops and a touch of spice. Flavour is bitter but quite tasty. Nice, unusual brew.

Jun 16, 2009 Bomber at PPRBSG09. Pours a nice deep woody copper with a thin lasting head. Aroma is intensely floral and spicy european hops like saaz- light grassy and almost a touch fruity- with a nice bready deep toast malt backbone. Awesome earthy floral and spicy hop flavor, very fresh, a touch green and grassy with almost a pineapple character and good toasty malts. Finsih is crisp and clean with a nice refreshing bitterness. Very unique brew with tons of fresh european hops. I liked this one a lot.

Jun 11, 2009 Almost like a malty DIPA. Lots of hops. Slightly metallic on the finish. Pretty good overall.
