From a bomber that I bought at Grocery Outlet, listening to George Jones and Zep LPs.

The taste is too dank and chocolaty for my tastes, but for all those looking to drown their sorrows - just one of these bombers will get you hammered.

 

Clear amber brew with plenty of foam in the Bushmills tumbler. Rich and resiny. Big malt, quite sweet, but actually fairly well balanced with all the hops and a tangy finish. The 2017 bottled version is listed at just 8.5% ABV. Hops are Denali, Eureka, Ekuanot, "and more."

Some peach flavors, pineapple, and a little murk. Silky mouthfeel, thanks to the oats, apparently. Hot with alcohol, spicy, and an orange marmalade aftertaste that is rather pleasant. Bitter, though, but not excessive. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Whidbey Beer in Oak Harbor.

 

 

 

 

 

Well they tweaked the recipe on this I IOS and they nailed it.. Golden yellow wit 1.5 inches of frothy white head.. Nice lacing in the glass, grassy and citrus hops on the nose. Lovely hop profile, crisp and clean. Pine and pithy citrus not sweet at all as previously described, but a sturdy malt backbone that doesn't take away from the hops. I think the new abv is 10%, which is probably better given the negative marks for sweetness. This was very drinkable and downright good.

Total hop-bomb, which is nice sometimes. This was a nice departure from overly malty imperial IPAs. Poured cloudy orange-brown with a 2.5" airy head.

I don't know what is going on with this beer as the previous review said it was under-carbonated, and mine, properly chilled, was the most carbonated beer I've ever had in a bottle (not a positive).
