Rich red tones, aromas of red liquorice, black tea and cherry. long and lasting from mid-palate to finish. a great beer for cold nights and fire roasted foods.

Growler. Poured a lighter brown with a tan head that settled quickly to a ring. Floral aroma with a backing of malt. The flavor found caramel and spices with a hop background. Medium body and a mild bitterness.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Rich copper. Fair dark cream coloured head. Sticky lacing. Thick caramel scent with tinges of alcohol and hint of spice or hop. Flavour is same components but in different proportion than the aroma. Alcohol is stronger. Caramel is mixed with some woody hops that carry a spicy edge.

Bomber from Craft Ale. Pours turbid ruby coppery (more toward ruby) with minimal off-white head. Looks like a big thick barleywine in the glass. Nose is old aley malt, heavy resiny hops, fruit. Damn, this one smells like a barleywine, too. Tastes rich, very piney hoppy, fruity, with substantial malt. Comes off like a impy red/barleywine hybrid. Works pretty well for me.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of malt, hops, and a standard Red Ale Aroma. Poured orange in color with a tiny, off-white head that lasted only a second or two before disappearing, except for around the edges. Hazy and a bit cloudy. Some large particles throughout. Flavor is medium sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of malt, hops, resin, pine, slight caramel, and general Red Ale flavor. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Malt, hop, resin finish. 7.5%ABV is completely hidden throughout.

Bottle from Beer Revolution. Pours ruddy orange with a modest beige head and a standard red ale aroma. There is a hearty smoked malt flavor with a nice hop profile and a dry bitter finish.,
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22 oz bottle. Pours hazy reddish copper with hardly a head. Aroma is lots of caramel and citrus with some pine and floral notes. The flavor is mostly sweet caramel malt and bitter hops, there is a light alcohol presence. Medium to full body with very mild carbonation and a syrupy, flabby mouth feel. This one suffers from the low carbonation IMO.

Amber/red, small beige head.Nose of brown sugar & piney hops.Mellow malt start,blended mid,medium hop bitterness in finish
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
The pour is a ruby red highlighted brown with a thin beige head. tons of thick creamy lacing. Sweet caramel, nuts, toffee, and a moderate NW hop. A mild note of alcohol us also present. the taste is quite mild despite the hops. The malts are somewhat sweet with tons of nuts and toffee. somewhat disappointing for an "imperial" beer. the Taste is smooth and light tasting with some creaminess and minimal
alcohol. Overall, disappointing but interesting.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured out a deep reddish amber brew with a non existing cap. Strong aroma of caramel, peaches, floral notes, light spice, maybe anise, orange, nice but nothing new. It’s late and I’m very tired. Excellent taste - just what I wanted - fresh, fruity and bitter. Peaches, pine and really freaking tasty. Caramel is solid, an excess of bitterness. Man, I’m tired. Mild carbonation and hard bitterness. I really like this. Just so tired.
