The Twelve (New) Beers of Christmas, Day 5-Christmas Bomb!, Prairie Artisan Ales (OK)

Written By: Dion on 12/18/2014

The nose is heavy with roasted malt and coffee bean, with subtle cinnamon and the faintest hints of smoked meats. On the tongue, the smoked char is cranked up as the dark malts and chocolate coat the tongue in layers, while traces of pepper (which are more dominant in the regular Bomb!) provide a little spice. I'm not as crazy about Bomb! as a lot of people seem to be, and this version of it really does nothing for me either. A good beer, but a tad overhyped and overpriced in my humble opinion.
