Jul 28, 2007 Bomber. Pours a clear copper with a lacy off-white head. Aroma of weed and citrus. Medium body and light carbonation. Bitter woody taste. Almost has an oaky character. Interesting, but not very inviting.

Jul 26, 2007 Not as bitter as I expected. The alcohol was not a factor here, very smooth beverage. Lower priced than other beers of it’s kind with this high of an abv (which is why i picked one up). Overall a good beer I wouldn’t shy away from, but not something i’d buy if I was trying to spoil myself.

Jul 26, 2007 A pretty standard strong american ale. You should like it. Be suprised if you didn’t.

Jul 25, 2007 Clear deep amber/copper pour with a 2 finger khaki head in a new Sam Adams glass. Sweet aroma of brown sugar and malt with a little grapefruit. Flavor is tilted toward the malty end with plenty of caramel, toffee and milk chocolate. Hops apparent but not nearly as aggressive as anticipated. Nice rich mouthfeel and a slightly peppery finish where the alcohol joins the party. I’d echo the comments from mj - this brew is quite close to their Censored Rich Copper Ale. Not a bad beer and one I would happily drink again but not one that I would go out and look for.

Jul 24, 2007 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark copper with a beige head. The aroma contains a moderate amount of nice floral hops. The first sip is a little sweet, however it contains a solid caramel malt backbone that quickly turns to hops and finishes with a good strong hop flavor. Grapefruit, pine, and earthy hops carry through to the finish. The pine and grapefruit flavor lingers in the aftertaste for quite awhile. The 9.28% abv is well disguised beneath the hops. This beer exhibits a Medium body with moderate carbonation and could pack a wallop if too many are consumed.

Jul 24, 2007 Seems to be in the vein of so many other Lagunitas strong ales - rich chewy brown sugar and toffee malt flavors, easily apparent and uncomplex, with a moderately high hop level that only adds a tinge of bitterness and nearly no flavor. At least the alcohol isn’t apparent in this beer, I’ll give them that, but I wasn’t too impressed with the standard caramel and raisin malt nose, nor with the standard but slightly thin flavors of caramel and caramelized hops. I could certainly drink this, no question, but like everything else Lagunitas I just don’t think I’ll be buying it again.
