Oct 22, 2009 Bomber Bottle at Bishops Arms Järntorget, Göteborg. On October 21, 2009
Dark red colro, tan head. Hoppy alcohol scent. Hoppy, malty, sweet taste. Smooth mouthfeel, high bitterness. Alcohol aftertaste. Hoppy, smooth and very drinkable, I like!

Oct 21, 2009 Interesting but I was left unimpressed by this beer. It is not as hoppy as an ipa but doesnt have the malty goodness that comes with darker ales. Enjoyable though.

Oct 21, 2009 Serving: 22 oz. bottle.
Appearance: Pitch black with a slightest of ruby highlights running through it. It also has a foamy, tan head that fades relatively quickly, leaving small bits of foam on the top.
Aroma: A big pine hop nose dominates on this one. Chocolate notes struggle to peek through.
Flavor: Citrus and slight pine hop notes are in the lead. Clearly an IPA. Roasted malt, salt, and some fruitiness add to the landscape (or is it tonguescape?). The combination of the hops and the roasted malt lingers for ages. A little too long in fact.
Palate: Medium-low, soft carbonation with a medium-rich mouthfeel and a long, bitter and roasty finish.
Overall: An enjoyable take on an IPA, but I don’t think I want more than one pint of this one.

Oct 21, 2009 Small sample from a bomber at a tasting at Bishops Arms, Göteborg, Sweden. Dark reddish brown, medium beige head. Intense piney, citric, and perfumy hops aroma, on a thick caramelly malt base. Medium bodied and smooth. Fairly dry, yet cloying, high bitterness. Not impressed.

Oct 20, 2009 (bottle from bhensonb, thanks!) Pours black with a tan head and minimal lacing. Strong aroma of grapefruit peel, pine, orange zest, smoke, raisin, brown sugar, and roasted malt. Each of these smells vary in intensity, with one sniff producing an all hop scent, another smoke, and yet another produces the raisin and brown sugar. Really good complexity here. Flavors of chocolate covered orange zest, grapefruit, raisin, roasted malt, and coffee, that finishes out with a nice and even bitterness mixed with some cocoa. There’s also some juicy hop that lurks underneath the more prominent roast and dark fruit in the mid, which creates an interesting and very good combo. Mouthfeel is medium, and the alcohol is nowhere to be found. Didn’t really have high expectations for this one, but wow, this is really good stuff. Thanks again Bill!

Oct 20, 2009 Deep mahogany in color with a beige head. Grapefruit, pine, caramel malts in this poweful aroma. Full body with light carbonation. Citrus and pine hops, light roast, some dark malt flavors. An alcohol feel in the finish. Nice.
