Jul 20, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Dark amber, creamy white head. Soft chocolate and spicy rye aromas warm to notes of citrus and hints of mint. Floral hop and dry rye caramel flavors balance very well on a lightly sweet dusty cocoa malt backbone. Medium bodied with light carbonation. A well crafted session brew that’s for a great cause...

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Head is initially very small, frothy/fizzy, light brown, fully diminishing. Body is medium to dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, roasted nuts, caramel), lightly hoppy (apricot), with a note of black tea. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bittter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Seems a little muddled and unfocused, and kind of rough in the mouth, but it’s not bad.

Jul 16, 2008 Bomber from Enniskillen; Nose is yeasty ryebread, strong caramel, and light vanilla and clove notes; rust red with a small cinnamon tinged, beige head; flavor of light hop bitterness, caramel, and a little rye; finish is light bitterness and alcohol warmth and more rye; Bison gets no respect because it’s organic; this one is way underrated and is an excellent beer!

Jul 13, 2008 The aroma has caramel, pine hops, chocolate, and rye. The appearance is deep amber with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall a very good beer for a very good cause.

Jul 13, 2008 Aroma of caramel, chocolate malt and rye. Very dark red in color with a non-existent head. Malty flavor with hints of caramel, with a hoppy bitterness- maybe from the caraway? Smooth palate with a slightly bitter aftertaste from the hops. Overall, a nice beer.

Jul 12, 2008 22oz: Strong malty sweet aroma of caramel and dark russian rye bread, butterscotch, brown sugar and alchohol. Head was non existant with no lacing to speak of, color was a pretty transparant rusty copper; moderately sweet flavors, not cloying, with a sweet, spicy finish as the alchohol burns off and the finish is long; this one coats the mouth with a light oils and lingers, carbonation is light. Overall, I enjoyed this beer, similar to a Canadian blended rye whiskey in taste, texture without the alchohol burn.
