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.

Batch 267, 268. Orange umber color with a tall creamy glazed, taupe colored head. Mild aromas with apples in the old fashioned root cellar. Touches of cream caramel and citric zest. Light woody flavors, along with some more lemon zest. Dry, mildly grassy hops in the middle and finish. A bit watery at times. I could see pairing this with some dry sharp cheeses, but by itself, I’m rather bored.

Pint bottle from Knightly Spirits. Pours a dirty, opaque brown and a typically massive tan head that becomes pillowy and mountainous. The aroma is of funky and fruity Brett in also typical Bam fashion. Flavors include vinous fruits, yeasty horse blanket, spices, and apples in the finish. Medium/full body and incredibly lively carbonation. Tastes just as the label describes--a hoppier, maltier version of Bam Bier. Quite good, as are most of this brewery’s makings.

Bottle. Very high and creaqmy long lasting off-white head. Hazy amber body. Mild aroma of apples and pears with hops notes. Flavor of lemon, abricot and mild hops. Low carbonation and a long mild bitter aftertaste.

Bottled. Medium brown puir, tan head. Spciy, floral nose. Falvor was yeasty, malty, hint of barnyard. Hoppy finish. Didn’t seem much like a bitter to me, but I enjoyed it.

Bottle. Cloudy orange coloured with a huge and lacing off white head. Aroma of wood and hops with acidic notes and notes of wine and dish washer. Flavour of fruits, wood and wine with notes of brett. Dry hppy and woody finish. Barrel aged bitter is a strange combination, but it tastes good.

I was kind of disappointed with this beer. Pours a hazy amber with a thick off white head. Sour aroma, not as much hops as I was expecting. Flavor was a little thin, besides the mild sour I didn’t get enough out of this beer. I really didn’t enjoy it that much, and it isn’t exactly a cheap bottle.
