Aug 11, 2008 The aroma is a little sweet, toasty and a hint of cookie. The head is off white, creamy, excellent lacing and mostly diminishing. The color is dark golden brown with hints of red. The initial flavor is a little sour, some bitter, hard to describe the flavors it’s a very good beer. The body is medium, the texture creamy and the carbonation soft.

Aug 7, 2008 Got it at Frugal’s also I see zappa. Dark amber pour, decent cream head. Very malty nose. Quite malty in the mouth, some roast, a bit sweet. Some caramel and toffee and just a bit of hops. Reminded me a little of an English strong ale or Scotch ale. Really not bad at all.

Aug 5, 2008 Taste 8/8 Bottle(?date). Looks: Clear dark bronze. Head laces with a nice yeasty/bubble mix. Aroma: Caramel, lots of sweet malt, mild floral. Taste: Nice, medium bodied brew. Quite drinkable. Mild hops spice, with mostly a malt presence. Great deal for $3.99 , 7.2% abv, very drinkable bomber.

Aug 5, 2008 Beautiful red amber color. Rather than the hop, this beer from Lagunitas lingers on the caramel, only dweller in the aroma section; stronger caramel flavor, some sticky sugars, and quite strong bitterness. Good, but I’m used to a less caramelly flavor, and more aromatic, resiny or fruity hops.

Jul 26, 2008 Here’s yet another quality $4 bomber from these guys. Pours a deep amber color with a thin foamy off-white head that sticks around. Aroma is plums, caramel and an ever so slight trace of alcohol. The taste is floral hops, fruits, a little sugary, with sweet caramel malt. Finishes slightly bitter and dry. This isn’t quite as good as the Lucky 13 I had last week but it’s still very tasty.

Jul 26, 2008 Deep copper color with a medium beige head. Raisin, malt and toffee in the smell with light hops. Flavor is of raisin and caramel. Light hop flavor creates a decent balance with the sweetness.

Jul 25, 2008 Wrote a nice review for this one which RateBeer promptly "ate". This bottle was probably oxidized. I’ve had this beer before and loved it.

Jul 22, 2008 Bottle- Copper brown pour with foam off white head. Love FZ but not necessarily the beer. However, it was rather refreshing and like moses mentioned reminded me of a belgian. Some spice and hops with a dry hop finish. Decent body and a good blend.
