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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Bomber. Pours the color of cheap Lipton Ice tea, but not in a bad way. White orange medium head. Aroma is sweet hop and fruit with very powerful spice and heavy layers of malt aroma. Flavor is too sweet! Malts are interesting but unbalanced sweetness leads to a sticky palate with a somewhat long, bitter-sweet finish that leaves only the bitterness on the tongue. Yeast, alcohol, and spice are also notable parts of the flavor.

Pours a clear reddish gold with very little head. Aroma is raisins, figs, caramel and a hint of Belgian yeast. Flavor is oats with candied fruits and candy sugar. Moderate mouthfeel, and good masking of the ABV. A little sweet for the style, but that seems to be the norm for this brewery. A nice beer.

Bottle. Oranish pour. Light head. Very fruity aroma with some syrup and yeast. Lots of honey and bread. Flavor is wheaty, yeasty, fruity, alcohol and lightly spicy. Good.
