16.6oz bottle from World of Beer Largo. Pours a dark brownish-red with a thin white-tan head that gracefully laces the glass. Smells of malt, fresh grain, fresh cooked peas, and caraway. Taste is much of the same-starts out with a solid fresh grain and cooked pea flavor that gives way to a hoppy, earthy bitterness. Not the best beer from Bison but drinkable -- and for a good cause.

Jul 25, 2008 Pours a dark red with a small off white head. Lots of rye in the aroma with some hops as well. Palate of rye and some chocolate and is pretty smooth. This one is pretty good and I am drinking for a good cause.

Jul 21, 2008 Sampled at the St. Pete Craft Beer Fest. An excellent strong American ale. Flavors of figs, honey, and caramel. Would love to get my hands on this again!

Jul 20, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Dark amber, creamy white head. Soft chocolate and spicy rye aromas warm to notes of citrus and hints of mint. Floral hop and dry rye caramel flavors balance very well on a lightly sweet dusty cocoa malt backbone. Medium bodied with light carbonation. A well crafted session brew that’s for a great cause...

Jul 20, 2008 Bottle. Head is initially very small, frothy/fizzy, light brown, fully diminishing. Body is medium to dark amber. Aroma is moderately malty (toasted bread, roasted nuts, caramel), lightly hoppy (apricot), with a note of black tea. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bittter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Seems a little muddled and unfocused, and kind of rough in the mouth, but it’s not bad.

Jul 16, 2008 Bomber from Enniskillen; Nose is yeasty ryebread, strong caramel, and light vanilla and clove notes; rust red with a small cinnamon tinged, beige head; flavor of light hop bitterness, caramel, and a little rye; finish is light bitterness and alcohol warmth and more rye; Bison gets no respect because it’s organic; this one is way underrated and is an excellent beer!
