A bit strong for me, but overall a well made beer.

Cpper body with thin off-white head. Smells peppery hoppy and somewhat caramel malty. Tastes fruity, bitter, and malty. Medium-bodied. Very tasty, well-ballanced beer. A new favorite winter beer!

Very Killians -like, but better. Poured a nice amber/red with a full head. Smells of hops and slight maltiness. Though the ABV is high, it does not overwhelm the taste. However, I feel like this will kill the palate fast and not taste as good a few pints into the night. Tonight, I had only one and I appreciate the brew. For a winter ale it is not very warming but overall satisfies the palate.

Pours deep red with a tiny white head that quickly dissipates. Lacy and still. Smells fruity (cherries?) with a bit of bitter spice. Taste is nice and hoppy. Also a bit sour and fruity. Got that cherry flavor again. Alcohol finish is ther as well. Smooth but I can definitely taste that alcohol. Stonger than I expected. Medium bodied but light for a strong ale. Also very smooth for a strong ale. Reminds me of Riptide red with that same fruitiness (same yeast?) but much stronger and warming. Very nice winter warming ale. Perfect for Maine winters.

It mists my nasal with tones that hints of summer sausage and braunswager. The color is ambitious yet restrained by the dominance of malty ions dancing around my glass vessal. This BOMC was a little above the normal fair for BOMC. I’d drink again if given to me in another BOMC subscription.
