Commercial Description:
In the early 20th century, Cincinnati was presided over by the strong armed political power broker George "Boss" Cox. Holding court high above an Over-The-Rhine saloon, "Boss" Cox's authoritative grip on the city could often be relaxed with a smoked sausage and a hearty brew. Our Double Dark IPA infuses a bold, delicious malty character with copious amounts of American and European hop bitterness. There's a new boss in town. Malts: 2-row, Munich, Carapils, and Caramel ;Hops: Cluster, Cascade, Czech Saaz ;Color: Ruby ;Food Complement: Steak, prime rib, venison, spicy dishes

Strong fruity and citrus aroma with a tandelizing mouth feel. Pours a thick strong brown color with a medium creamy head. Not as hoppy as I would like it but it delievers a good expectation of what a IPA should taste like. They say a double IPA, that might be how it is brewed, but I just don’t taste all that extra work they said when this was brewed, but it is good.

20071025 Bomber. What’s it supposed to be, DIPA? Mild, not so hoppy. Thin but sweet. Piney late. Struck me as a bit weak.

coppery pour with a nice tan head. toffee, caramel and hops in the aroma. creamy, caramely with a hoppy, bitter finish. not a bad brew, but there is acertain flowerness that knocks it down form being a gerat brew.

Bottled. Poured cloudy brown, with a dense tan head. Malty nose and a roasty, malty taste, slightly sweet. Hopp, bitter finish, slight hint of alcohol. Flavorful, but certainly too sweet for the label’s claim of an IPA. An OK strong ale.

Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a thick caramel colored head. Very dark for and IPA. Aroma was hoppy and grapefruity. Taste was hoppy, bitter and quite sour. It was too sour almost a flemish style.

22. Pours opaque dark brown with a dense, towering, rocky tannish head. Plenty of lace on the way down. Big brown bread nose of spent grain, yeast, and grain husk. Medium, slightly creamy body, soft carb. Sour brown bread, yeast, toast, and a bit of bitter resin on the mid-palate. Mild resiny finish. Not a very well thought-out beer, though they clearly put some effort into this.

Strong caramel aroma, with a hint of pine lurking behind it. Pours a clear ruby, with a healthy tan head. The taste starts with some sweetness, and a good blend of pine and caramel in the finish. Overall, for the price this is amazing.
