Bottle. I bought this bomber due to the under $6 price and to give Heavy Seas another so. Pours a transparent dark mahogany color with a very thin head that dissipates quickly into nothing. Smells of very light fruit with a spicy yet musty character to the nose. Taste of rippened fruit laced with clove and spice. Everything feels a bit drowned out or watery perhaps. The flavors are there, but its just not as popping as I would have hoped for. But the alcohol is nonexistant in the taste. Overall, just ok, but for this cheap who’s complaining>????

Notes from the bar last night; Draft, Amber color, fruity aroma. Med body. Creamy texture. Enjoyed this one. A little sweeter tasting than what I was expecting. Alchohol is there.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours amber-brown with a decent sized light brown head that lingers. Nose is weak and generic dark malt and yeast. Flavor is similar but relatively balanced, with brown sugar, caramel, hops, and coriander dominating the taste. Finish is quick. Decent but unremarkable.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mahogany pour with a tan head. Aroma of brown sugar. Flavor is light dried fruit and a musty maltiness. Medium bodied with a bit of fizziness.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Look, nice attempt Heavy Seas, but this doesn’t quite have it. Little too sweet and cloying. It somehow feels cheap, but it does hide the 9% pretty well. Not bad for a sub $6 bomber, which is an extreme rarity these days.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Poured a dark burgandy with a thin white head. The aroma is very heavy on spice and nutmeg. The taste is quite heavy on clove, cinnamon and nutmeg. There is also a good bit of burn caramel malts. The alcohol is hidden quite well on this one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice head and lacing, very slightly cloudy brown, some tart notes but sweet overall. A nice level of malts and dried friuts.
