Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a brownish copper with thin light tan head. The aroma is mild with mostly sweet malts followed by mild spicy to floral hops. The flavor starts lively with sweet malts, some roasted malts and spicy to floral hops.

Clear dark red, creamy tan head. Toasted and caramel malt aroma with some heavy hop notes. Quite tart and a little chalky. Toffee and mild hop flavor. A bit thin in body. Good balancing bitterness. I assume the prominent hop in this ale is Nugget.

Aroma is a nice hop scent. Color is a full amber with ok carbonation and a nice head. Taste is malt with a mild bitterness. Starting with a medium body it goes down easy with a malty flavor coming in and hop flavor and bitterness right on top of it. This is a well done beer where the hops and malt seem to come out at the same time.

22oz bomber-BNice ruby red body with a huge off white head. Aroma of malt, hops, malt, and hops. Taste of the same with a complete blend of the hops and malt. Nice mizture and nice tasting brew.

Courtesy of Degarth. My notes are like Chinese algebra at this point. Dark red pour, small head. Nose of caramel, hops, citrus and pretty sweet malts. Flavor adds a touch of diacetyl, with all of the other components there as well. Good carbonation, medium bodied. Good for what it is, but we did it a disservice ending the night with it after such great/big beers.

Reddish colour with a beige head. Sweet malty aroma with fruity and vague toffee notes. Malty, sweet flavor with a light hoppy grassy note.

Thanks Bobo!!!! Poured a dark amber color, head is sporadic at best. Aroma is slightly hoppy, but there is a toasty component that I find appealing. Flavor is hoppy, but is a touch subdued. Maltiness does begin to show, everything just seems a bit tuned down.
