Poured out of a 22oz bomber into an Ikea big snifter on 5/25/11

I have to be quite honest that I was surprisingly happy drinking this beer. It poured a deep amber brown with a big 3-4 finger head(my pour was a little less than ideal) but in the big $1.99 Ikea 25oz snifter it looked formidable and awesome. It gave the nice piney, citrus smell of a west coast IPA and the pleasant bitterness of a true EIPA. At 8.5% its in the mid-range of a DIPA but it was a little boozy. The saving grace of this DIPA from a small Vermont brewery was the price. At $6 retail for a bomber, it provided some nice bang for the buck. Drink this a little on the cold side because at cellar temperature the booze really comes though. Very little of the best Vermont has to offer is available outside Vermont but I'm glad it's starting to filter out. War Lord is absolutely worth the $6 so go out there and give it a try.
