Commercial Description:
Bone Warmer Amber Ale, brewed in the "strong ale" tradition, is a beer of great character, with exceptional malt flavor and warming alcohol content. Historically, brewers often drew three different runs from the same barley mash. The first, used for strong ale of "best beer", had the most alcohol. The second was used for less strong "table beer", and the third, a lighter and cheaper "small beer". Our Bone Warmer is brewed the same way, using only the first runnings from an extraordinarily thick, strong mash of Idaho 2-Row Metcalfe and Harrington barley malt, along with dark German munich and caramel malts. We subtly spiced it with "noble" character American Perle and Mt. Hood hops, fermented it at cool temperatures and cold-conditioned it for smoothness and drinkabitlity. The resulting ale is the color of roasting chestnuts, voluptuously malty, only slightly sweet, with a hint of toffee and a warming dry finish. It's an ideal accompaniment to rich meaty stews, wild game, roasted fowl or root vegetables, and aged cheddars.

Thanks Mike... Beautiful amber body with a nice white head. Great Barley Wine aroma, sweet and spicey... almost rummish. Awesome taste, spicey with a great hop accent. Nicehop accent in the ending.

Thanks to The_Beer_God for this one. Once we got through the wax, this was very close to a barleywine. Copper color with minimal head and floaties! Aroma is bread, cereal, toffee, caramel. Taste is more malty cereal, dates and raisins. Very thick and chewy. I wrote in my notes "effervescence is appropriate," whatever that means. Really good beer. Bravo Idaho!

Courtesy of The_Beer_God at the 6th Richmond Gathering. Medium to dark amber, slight floaties. Rich malt aroma, molasses and caramel abound. Faint citrus and floral hops as well. Sweet. Dark fruits. Flavor matches, with more fruitiness emerging as opposed to malt depth in the flavor. Nice. In fact, highly enjoyable.

1 liter bottle acquired in trade with jimbowood (thanks!). Poured a medium to deep amber / orange color with an averaged sized of white head. Aromas of caramel, roast, light chocolate, and toasted malts. Tastes of caramel, chocolate, some dark fruits, and lighter roast. Another beer that exceeded expectations!

Bottle. Pours a reddish orange with a average size off white head. Aroma is sweet with molasses, honey, banana and some grain. The flavor has a definate alcohol presence and is quiet sweet. While many may find it to sweet I thought it was a good flavorful beer. The finish is creamy with a slight acidity. The lack of bitterness may put off some but if you like sweet beers this is really good.
