22oz bottle. Poured a clear yellow-orange color with a wispy, white head. Aroma had plenty of vanilla notes, some camomile notes there too. Sweet light orange citrus notes, some oak-wood in there. Caramel notes are sweet, some toffee character to it. Taste is moderately sweet here - and quite smooth. Alcohol is pretty well masked.

Bomber. Poured very clear, very bright golden with a short, looser-bubbled white head. The aroma picked up warm banana, cane sugar, darker fruits, and a pinch of honey with very prominent floral accents.. coconut and pineapple showed up on the back of the nose.. syrupy sweet on my initial impression, but it really rounded out well.. very interesting stuff. The flavor found bready notes and pineapple meat at the core, with floral notes, white pepper, tart pineapple juice, and alcohol warmth around.. finished with grainy pineapple sugars, orange zest, and floral notes.. it always kept balance between sweet, tart, and boozy characteristics. Medium-plus bodied with low-ish carbonation on the palate.. felt good the whole way, and I don’t recall drinking anything like it.

22 oz. bottle via trade with smith4498 - Pours a hazy golden color with a half finger thick off white head. Faint spotty lacing. Aroma is esters, spice, and yeast. Flavor is lightly sweetened malt, esters, and spices. The malt sweetness and spices linger in the finish. Medium to full body. The alcohol is noticeable, but doesn’t come across as 10%. A nice beer, but I’m not sure I can drink the whole bottle myself. Thanks Jason.
