3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Purchased in the 22 oz sceen printed bomber.
In appearance this is a dark brown beer, with ruby accents..with a bubbly tan head.
the aroma is mainlly malty almost in a doppelbock way.
This has a fairly complex variety of tastessweet to start, then a surprising "fizzy" sourness on the sides of the tongue..followed by a long and pleasant bitterness.Some accents of bitter camp coffee come to mind.
Very good and exciting in the mouth..long finish.
A nice tasty ale from Siletz..a good brewery.

Burgundy, rose colored. Woody, smoky hop bite, jumpy, spiced wood and bitter. Very dry and bitter, punchy. Quite good.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hoppy , with a bit of malt aroma. Body is a little to the thin side with a decent hop balance. Almost a bron ale in my book.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap@Siletz Brewpub. Pretty thick and hoppy. Darker caramell toasty malt, with a huge hit of lychee and pine from thehops, i dunno perhaps i’m starting to like these overhopped US ales?

nice balanced aroma, dark ruby, hop bite followed by slight chocolate burst and a sweeter hoppy finish
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a mohagany color with a *huge* head (took me three pours to get through the bomber even while being careful) that was quite chunky (rootbeer float-like) that left a thick blanket down the side of the glass.
Scent is nutty malt with a touch of hops.
Taste is nutty malt with some darker fruits and some natural spices thrown in (not added but inherent in the barley, methinks). There's a definately hop/citrus presence, but not as much as I thought there would be. This reminds me of a Brown with a bit more hops; it's well balanced.
Mouthfeel has a nice bite to it and it's thicker tahen I was expecting. Overall this is nice. It's not something I'd want all the time but definately good for a change of pace.

real dark leather brown. fairly strong. roastey and well hopped nose, PNW hops for sure. pretty roastey, noted of wood, ripe berries and musty malt flavors mingle well. a mature tasty beer.

Dark reddish amber color. Medium head. Aroma is malty, fruity and a touch sweet. A medium bodied strong ale. Malts are nutty, fruity and sweet. Hops are piney and slightly bitter. Fairly large rich malt tastes in this beer. It’s a little harsh tasting, and I think there are some of those “I can’t identify Christmas Beer spices” in here as well. It’s a very easy drinking winter warmer. Sort of grows on you. Painted beer bottle. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and a touch dry. Aftertaste is bitter.
