Taste is rich dark malt-sweet/some chocolate, grainy, husky, spices, dark fruit-cherry/prunes/raisins-vinuous, alcohol, faint hops. No Belgian yeast, but a nice American Dubbel. Mild/minimum carbonation. Thanks to Stevo for sharing.

Feb 16, 2008 Nov. 2006 - An okay offering. Unlike others, it didn’t strike me as overly dark...more golden than brown. Fruity aroma and nice, but quickly dissipating head. Some beers grow on me as I sip through it. This one went the other way. Very peppery, some other spices and fruit with a touch of honey. Just a bit too sweet for my liking, but not bad.

Feb 15, 2008 22 oz Bomber-pours a clear brown color w/a slight head & good lacing. Candied sugar aroma. Flavors of dark fruit, cane sugar, raisens, toffee, & a touch of spice. Alcohol was very well hidden, I had no Idea it was this high until I went to rate it. I thought this beer contained everything you look for in a classic Belgian beer. Very smooth & easy to drink.

Feb 8, 2008 hazy brow w/ orange tint. small white to beige head. fizzy. smells like brown sugar and oatmeal. bready, toffee and licorice. seems simple at first - but there is more going on here - it’s just not very inviting. comes off astringent.

Feb 4, 2008 btl. A dark brown pour with a light brown head and lace. A brown sugar/molasses with rich sweet malt, raisins or dates. A very caramelly beer with a good bitter. Dried fruit in the flavor as well. Good carbonation for the style. Drinks like it smells. abv covered up pretty good to me.

Feb 2, 2008 Bomber. Mahogany color with a frothy beige head. Dark sweet malty aromas of brown sugar and some toffee with dried fruits--raisin, fig, black cherry. Sweet raisiny malt flavor cut by a mild black pepper and clovey spiciness. Dry earthy finish. Relatively thin body with fine carbonation. Not a bad take on the style I suppose, though I’m yearning for more fullness in the mouthfeel.

Jan 29, 2008 Bought a few bottles for Christmas gifts and kept one for myself. I had problems getting the wax coated cap off the bomber but was greeted with a tangy, medium bodied Abbey Dubbel with a pleasant candy sugar and yeasty finish. Learning the beer had a SFO Toronado tie-in brought a smile to my face.
