Oct 12, 2009 22 ounce bottle from College Liquors. Pours a fairly clear amber color with a thick beige head that goes down. A sweet aroma of candies, yeast, some hops, spices and syrupy fruit. The taste is like a rich spicy Christmas beer, but with some hops, sweet candies, warmth, candied plums. Overall, sweet but hops give some balance. Hot and nice.

Oct 12, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Poured a ruby/orange from the 22oz. bottle: Aroma of sugar and some cough syrup, flavors of ginger and other spices, such as cinnamon. A kick of alcohol in the finish. Some yeast notes throughout. **The alcohol’s definitely present, but with more siggs the ale quickly becomes a fairly delicious, citrusy, fruity, spicy beer. Drinkability: Sugary sweet, yet well balanced. Rebuy: Yes. #138 on 12102009, DG.

Oct 5, 2009 Bomber->pint glass: Pours a dark orange body, topped by a foamy tan head. Aroma of fruits. Sweet taste, long duration. Very pleasing, but there is (for better or worse) the definite feeling that you’re drinking a high ABV beer.

Oct 1, 2009 Bomber from Holiday Wine Cellar. Pours a deep orange with small amount of off-white head. Aroma of sweet malts along with fruit tones (cherry, hoppy citrus), yeast, light spice, and brown sugar. Flavor is again sweet and malty along with fruitiness (I get a strong pear flavor in the finish). There is a definite noticeable alcohol in the flavor as well, though I don’t find it to distract too much. The flavor is quite sharp on the tongue, especially at the start of the sip. Interesting, but a bit too much on the sweet side. The whole thing could be a lot smoother.

Sep 29, 2009 Pours a nice orange/copper color. Aroma is of sweet malted grains, fermented fruit, some citrus/hop notes. has a beige head which quickly dissipates. Flavor is full and rich with malted grains, and citrus hops. mouthfeel is nice and rich. Aftertaste is a bit citrusy because of the hop presence. Good beer!

Sep 28, 2009 Bottle consumed in Holiday Inn. Deep red/brown pour with decent head. Aroma of dark fruit, caramel and Belgian spice. Belgian clone, tastes boozy, dark fruit, quite smooth, sweet. The guy in the shop raved about this but I cannot really see why. I am used to quality Belgian beers this is not up to their standard.

Sep 25, 2009 Bomber into pint glass. Nice clear copper body with a nice off-white lacing head. Aroma is yeasty and fruity, a bit wheaty and citrusy, plums, raisins, nuts, a bit doughy. Flavor is pretty much the same. Both are a bit muddled. The flavor is a bit aggressive - the booze is definitely there, maybe not as much as 10% might assume, but it is certainly hot. On the heavier side of a medium body. Smooth and coating with minimal carbonation. Overall: fine, though I certainly wouldn’t want more than one bomber. Not too original and could probably use some age to settle down.
