Poured from a 22oz bomber into a clear pint glass. No freshness date. Purchased at Whole Foods in Bend, OR for $3.99.
A-Pours a very dark amber, almost dark pecan or chestnut. Two finger, tannish-white head with average retention and modest lacing. Almost looks like a porter or stout. Odd.
S-Not much aroma, in my opinion, and what is there is mostly malts.
T-Very pleasant malt presence, but not much hop bitterness noted. Most ambers I enjoy have more hop profile.
M-Very smooth and well balanced, but a tad watery.
D-A good, but not great amber ale. Smooth and easy drinking. 6.9% ABV is nicely masked.
I've had better amber ales, and I couldn't help hankering after a SkullSplitter. Not sure if this is a good thing. Closest thing I had in my fridge was an Arrogant Bastard Ale, which made for a nice conclusion to my beer drinking this evening.

Lil smoke aftertaste can throw you off at first, let it sink in, deep breath and let it hit your nose in a nice breath. Then do it again. If you gulp this guy down you might not love it. Drink. Breath. Relax. Do it again.

220z bomber in a standard pint glass.
A- Rich mahogany color; 1f mocha tan head, fluffy. Lots of sticky lacing.
S- Sugary roast malt. Licorice, chocolate, molasses. Creamy mocha latte. Lightly smoked, just right. A hop touch.
T-Smoked malts, roast coffee, chocolate. Purple fruits.
M- Medium body, good carbonation. Creamy. Smokey finish. Earthy resins.
O- Very good smoked beer. 6.9% abv is well hidden by flavors and aromas.
