Really not super complex, but really darn good. Whiffs of chocolate and citrus. Flavors of chocolate, soy and sugary lagunitas goodness. Thick and overall a nice treat. This was a 2008 Vintage.

Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur cuivré avec un moyen collet collant. Odeur d’alcool, bananes, raisins, prunes, dattes et sucre. Saveur de raisins verts, sucre, alcool, sirop de mais, érable, un gout un peu floral.

Dégusté avec Pyrozoid, agaguk. Apparence orange / cuivré avec une petite mousse beige collante. Aromes de gateau au fromage, banane verte, raisins sec, dates, sucre brun, tire éponge et un peu bonbons. Palait vélouté, sucré, amertume persistante mais agréable avec une legere astringence. Gout de prune, raisin secs, cassonade, tire éponge...

Firkin Gnarly Dude. Prehistoric amber hue. Funky good. Caramel soy, woody sweet, Bourbonesque. This beer rocks your board off. But seriously folks if I caught you stealing this beer from me. I would kill you.

Twenty aught-9 bomber says 11%, not 9.7%. $3.59 (New Seasons) was the first thing I liked. Red with a fluffy off-white head. Nice sticky lacing. Nose of sour fruit, fresh floral hops, glazed brown sugar, toasted malts. Sweet, astringent and bitter on the tongue, like pineapple and banana peel (yes I’ve eaten banana peel). Pine and woody, lightly roasted, fairly sticky. Very complex. Felt the alcohol quickly.

22 oz bomber. Fresh 2009. Pours a crystal clear copper with a small light tan head. Sweet fruit nose, lots of pineapple, mango scents. Flavors strong with the pineapple too, some banana too. Sweet but not to sticky sweet. Good caramel and vanilla flavors as it warms. Good brew!
