Bunker Brewing Company Reviews

ClarkVV	4 Bunker Barn Cat Nitro canned 10/25/23, drunk 12/31/23. Muddy dark caramel with a large, dark beige head showing good retention. Very fruity with earth, cellar, graham cracker and light toast on the finish. Clean, no booze, no butter. Big, round, deep malts. Lots of honey-like character from base malt mixing with the medium malts to give caramel, raisin and finishing with drier toastiness. Great fruitiness throughout, as well as peppery hop bitterness to help balance. Clean, malty, properly attenuated and with a characterful yeast. Sunday, December 31, 2023

OldMrCrow	3.4 Bunker Machine Pilz Can in Bennington. Deep gold-orange pour, prickly carbonation comes on hard for the style. Some sulfur to the nose. Aggressively hopped, but not offensively so. Unpleasantly bitter close. Less a classic Czech pils than a US interpretation. Thursday, April 28, 2022
