Commercial Description:
Bam is an extra special dog. After surviving being struck by a car, he daily somehow manages to avoid being carried away by the largish birds of prey gliding overhead, riding unseen thermals. Bam's tenacity seems only to be surpassed by his oversized personality. Join us in this celebration of his excess. More malt, more hops, same vivacious personality.

Poured a cloudy dark gold color with a medium sized white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of funky horseblanket, earthy yeast, citrus fruits, toasted malts, a bit of honey, and light spices. Taste of citrus fruits, grassy hops, some pine, caramel, and a faint tartness in the finish.

On Cask pours a dark amber color with a thick creamy white head. The head laces the glass throughout. Has a nice aroma that indicates some sour notes and mostly malt. I kept smelling this as I drank it. Has a subtle sour note upfront, then moves on to a malt base of a beer, and has a mixture of subtle sour and malt flavors on the finish. Overall on cask this is a very creamy, very smooth, very tasty brew. If you can try this on cask I highly recommend!

Bottle, thanks hopscotch! Hazy brown with thick rocky head and loads of lacing. Lots of silver metallic notes with salt too. Bone dry like a JP should be. Orval-like finish, so gorgeous.

Bottle poured a lightly hazy reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of barnyard, earthiness, light saurkraut, light pine and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a lightly dry slightly tart finish. Flavors of barnyard, bretts, lemon, earthiness, light carmel and a hint of pine with a crisp lingering lightly tart bitter finish.
