COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Brewed and dedicated to the believers of Ninkasi. Rich dark malt complexity is balanced by a plentiful hop presence bringing together perfection in every sip. Who knew believing had so many rewards.

brown/red pour, slightly cloudy with white head - aromas of caramel and raisins - flavors the same with a lingering brown sugar. Nice.

Picked this up by accident, I was trying to grab Ninkasi’s I.P.A. Glad I pick it up though! Beautiful dark red pour. Aroma is sweet. Very flavorful, lots of malts and berries with some chocolate and toffee notes. Worth a try for sure!

Malty aroma. super malty. Dark brown body with a tan head. Chocolaty malty taste with nutty and grassy aftertaste. This would go good with a salad and peppered steak. I’m a believer.(I know, i know) Gonna have this more often.

Poured from bomber into my favorite glass...New Belgium’s globe glass. Darker red with medium beige head. Roasty, sweet, doughy nose. Taste was as expected, malty and somewhat balanced. A bit oily with bitter finish. Very nice strong ale.

Lagerboy (663) - British Columbia, CANADA - MAR 25, 2013
Clear deep red copper, foaming tan head disapears instantly. Sweet rich dark roasted caramel malt aroma and taste, dark fruit, piney citrus hops, some grapefruit. Softly carbed, medium-full bodied, medium hopped. Strong for only 6.9 ABV, but softens as it warms. Burnt bitter dry finish. DNFL (Definately Not For Lagerboys)

VerticalBaconStrips (1896) - Assat, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 9, 2013
Gassed after a long day of hard caving in Rats Nest Cave. Almost asleep but who can say no to beer? Poured out a reddish deep amber with a skinny but lengthy light tan skull. Heavily malted, sweet plummy caramel thingo, odd strawberry candy, toasty. Decent flavour with some strong notes, I turned the heat up in our hotel to 28C and now we are all dying. Mild lightly powdery hops of lightly fruity, toasty caramel. It’s ok. Lingering acidic bitterness. So tired.
