Dec 12, 2008 Bomber courtesy of Toncatcher at the BA Numbskull line tasting. Pours an amber color with a white head. The aroma was lightly spicy and fruity. The flavor was similarly fruity with added rock candy, sweet berries and sweet melons. The mouthfeel was light and sweet. Overall: A very nice addition to the line tasting. Thanks Dennis.

Nov 29, 2008 Hazy dark pour, brown with a red tint. Some sediment in the glass. Nice dark tan-greyish head and good lacing on the glass. Fruity cherry and apple aroma. Funky with some yeast and a good amount of malt. Very sweet, perhaps a bit too much for me. Fruity with cherry and apple. Hints of chocolate and bitter hops to finish. A touch of sourness.

Nov 27, 2008 Deep red coloured body with amber highlights and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of malt, caramel and some good light fruits. Medium-bodied; Strong assertive malts and a nice spicey flavour, tucked in with some lighter fruits and a tiny bit of hops. Aftertaste shows some alcohol, nuts and a bunch of malt. Overall, a good beer - definitely worth trying it if you can find it! I sampled this 750 mL bottle purchased from K&E Discount Liquor in New Paltz, New York on 09-May-2008, sampled on 26-November-2008.

Nov 26, 2008 Medium brown hazy pour. Nice big bubbly off-white head. Bottle thanks to dchmela. Dang, this was good. I often find dubbels too sweet, but this was complex and tasty in all its malty sweetness. Definitely big malt profile, but tons of fruit... figs, apples, raisins, even stewed apricots, perhaps. Earthy. Toasty caramel. Brown sugar. Pralines. Deliciousness.
