Bomber from the brewpub. Roasted malt aroma. Reddish amber color with a decent off-white head. Medium bodied with spritely carbonation. The flavor is roasted malt and floral/herbal hop. The finish is neither dry nor sweet, and it has some decent bitter. There is fruit hiding within, and the drink is pretty good.

Pours a ruby red colour, darker and heavier, but sparkley in the mouth and a long citrusy finish. I had it on draught, and the head was a decent two finger size.

The bottle probably had a little age on it, but it was still in nice form. Aroma has some light roasted malt notes, and a touch of floral hops. Appearance had a nice cherrywood color to it with a 3-finger thick head which melted fairly quickly. Prickly mouthfeel. A smooth roasted malt flavor that was neither expressive or demure..just there. Probably much better fresher.

Very amber leaning red. some crytal malt and roast notes very soft mouthfeel. no off characters some cereal grains and lite hop not dryhopped I would guess.

Bottle. Ruby-amber beer with a nice off-white head. Slight roasty aroma with malt, cereal, and spice. Light bodied and creamy. Roasted malts and a very smooth flavor. Very good beer. Just wish the cody was a bit heavier, but it goes well. Refreshing, easy to drink
