Nov 8, 2009 Bottle. Deep mahogany pour with a khaki head. Smells of dark fruits and toffee/caramel. Has a sweet and malty taste with some caramel, but a bit of a bitter taste up front with the hops. For a beer that claims a 90+ IBU, it’s surprisingly sweet.

Nov 8, 2009 Muddy brown color beneath a creamy tan head. Piney hop aroma accompanied by notes of toffee/caramel. Sweet crystal malts and a touch of roasted barley lead into a grapefruit and pine laced hop bitterness. Not bad.

Nov 6, 2009 bottle - Pours very dark amber with a light tan head that laces some. The aroma is very hop rich with grapefruit and pine. The flavor is also full of big hops with high bitterness and a long bitter finish. There’s heavy caramel accented malt under there and a full body. Nice brew.

Nov 6, 2009 Mmmm, hops. This one was like a barley wind IIPA hybrid. Lots of hops of the floral vein and tons of citrus ones too, but it had an unusually heavy malt profile on the likes of figs, cherries, cane sugar, molasses, and other barley wine dark syrupy esque traits. Great none the less.

Nov 2, 2009 Mild citrus hops with some rich malts on the nose. Pours a reddish amber with a thin off white head. Very rich malts caramel with intense hops, sharp pine resin with a powerful bitterness. Good beer!

Nov 2, 2009 Bomber poured into a pint glass. Pours a nice deep ruby amber with a big frothy tan head that leaves sheets of lacing. Aroma is big on hop resin and pine with some non-hop fruitiness as well. Flavor is surprisingly balanced, as a big dose of caramel malt collides with sweet citrusy hops. There’s a shot of piney resinous character to take the edge off the sweetness, leaving a solid bitterness. A little sticky but very drinkable.
