22 ox bottle shared with sammy and hyde. sammy’s bottle. pours amber with a small off white head and steady carbonation. aroma are malt driven with some spiciness from the rye. hops were missing from the aroma. flavours were well constucted with some grainy caramel aspect that i belive came from the caraway that was included in this brew. smooth and medium bodied. would make a great tap addition to any beer bar. thanks sammy.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of malts, caramel, rye, and light spices. Poured dark amber/dark orange/red in color with a tiny off-white head that disappeared immediately. Clear. Slightly sparkling. Flavor is not really bitter or sweet, and is quite muted. Tastes of honey, caramel, rye, and grains. Medium body. Oily, smooth texture. Soft carbonation. Sweet malty finish. Unimpressive.

Pours a reddish brown with a small soapy white head. Aroma of rye, malt, spices, earthiness, hops. Flavor is malt, spices, hops, strange earthy toffee caramel vegetable finish. Interesting to say in the least.

Bottle shared by Frankenstein, pours attractive deep ruddy brown with tan foamy head. The nose is rye malt and tea, as is the flavor. Bitter finish.

Tap: Light brown with a little haze. Veggies and celery in the flavor as well as some sweetness. Interesting balance with sweet alcohol and a little bitterness. Ok beer, good cause. I guess all proceeds go to breast cancer research.

Bottle: Mahogany ruby color with light head and lacing. Nose of vegetal rye and caramel with some grape and light smoked fig. The rye notes are odd; as uaul to me but the earthy hops blend well. Seems a lot like Denny Conn’s Rye PA. Balanced and drinkable despite the moderate body.

Love the 22 ounce Bison Reunion series!--Hazy red body with a small fuzzy whitish head. Nutty, fruity, piny esters. Caramel, gritty, hoppy, spicy grippiness. Sweet, malty, and for real. Some dryish crisp, dope and dank beer. Toffee, bomby, glorious. Way good!

22oz Bomber. Really enjoyed this one . Pours a deep amber with decent sized white head. Nice caramel malt aroma & Flavor. Roasty, toasty & well balanced hop bitterness. Nice beer
