• Style: Imperial Amber Ale
• Serving: 16 ounce can
• ABV: 9.0%
• Ingredients: Sweet roasted malts, Munich malt, rye, and Mosaic hops
• Pour: The Tomorrow Problem pours a deep, copper-amber hue with a frothy, 2+ finger, light beige head with great retention and lots of sudsy lacing.
• Nose: The nose is malty, sweet, herbal, earthy, and slightly boozy.  There are aromas of freshly baked bread, light cocoa, sweet toffee, light herbs, oak, a hint of dark fruit, and hints of bourbon or rum.
• Taste: The taste of the Tomorrow Problem follows the nose with lots of malty, rich, sweet, and boozy flavors.  There are notes of bready malts, burnt toffee, soft caramel, and a splash of bourbon.
• Mouthfeel: Medium to full-bodied and moderately carbonated, the mouthfeel of the Tomorrow Problem is with a boozy finish.

Overall pairing: Those bold and malty flavors of Chappell Brewing's Tomorrow Problem Imperial Amber Ale are a great companion to the hard rockin' punch of Tiffany Kills' killer album "World On Fire"!  The bold and complex malt flavor goes great with Jaycee's fantastic vocal attack, while the sweeter and boozier flavors go great with the crunch of the fiery and soaring guitars, the thunderous and intricate bass lines, and the hard-hitting drumming!  'Nuff said!
