Bawlmer Lean IPA
On tap at the BNA Party last week. Mostly clear light golden color with a decent bubbly white head. Earthy citrus and pine hop aroma and flavor with a solid bready light caramel maltiness to counter.

Bawlmer Amber's Ale
12oz bottle: Pours a clear deep amber mahogany with a large, over-carbonated frothy off-white head. Has a lightly sweet toasty caramel nose with some metallic character and a touch of honey. Starts with decent fullness, but too much carbonation along with a true to style sweetness and some earthy hop bitterness before a slightly drier finish with a hint of tartness. Seems like it might be on the borderline of being infected given the amount of carbonation and flavor profile. Otherwise, the recipe seems solid.

Bawlmer Formstone Ale
Poured a very dark mahogany brown with a nice tan foamy head. You can hear the foam bubbles popping as the head reduces to a more creamy 1/2" one that left a light amount of lacing. There was a nice aroma of anise and dark chocolate. The flavor initially was smokey and crisp with good carbonation. There was a nutty flavor as well. A dark chocolate flavor and espresso bitterness developed along with a bit of a dry finish. The chocolate and bitterness lasted into the finish and mellowed very well. I’ll be getting more of this one. Very good!!!!

Bawlmer Amber's Ale
12 oz – Dark amber, thick off white head. Aroma held soft notes of peachy caramel and floral spice throughout. Flavors are the same with a just a touch of back-end yeast pulling it together late. Light to medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light fruity finish. More Belgian-like than amber in my mind. A decent first attempt at what I hope will be the next up and coming brewer here in Charm City…

Bawlmer Formstone Ale
beer of summer @ OTH. pours dark brown, tan head. aroma and flavors, dark fruits, dark malts, lots of good roast, caramel, light smoke? fluffy palate, grainy. Light hoppy profile on the light side for a mild bitter finish, overall, the beer finishes with a nice bready flavor along with roast and dark fruits.

Bawlmer Formstone Ale
12 oz. – Dark brown, light tan foamy head. Soft cocoa-earth and nut warms to faint aromas of molasses cola. Tangy milk chocolate roast balances well on flavors of dry cola nut throughout. Medium bodied, soft and smooth carbonation, darkened dry malt finish. Rides the line of Belgian brown ale perhaps? Aside from the silly name, it’s a nice first effort. Definitely worth a try…

Bawlmer Formstone Ale
A nice chocolaty brown ale with a nice brisk carbonation that produces a nice head on the beer. Fairly dry and drinkable. Hops are balanced and mostly noticeably on the palate. The nose is dominated by coffee and milk chocolate.

Bawlmer Amber's Ale
A good starting point for a first release. I am intrigued enough to try their Brown Ale next time. Hopefully, there will be more conventional styles down the road too. The beer is on the dry side with a fair amount of spicy mount hood hops and bit of yeast in the finish.
