mkobes (2103), paramus, New Jersey, USA Dec 23, 2007 22 oz bomber. Deep copper in color with little head. Spicy malty nutmeg aroma. Hoppy citrusy fruity notes. Clove, ginger malty caramel flavor. Hoppy notes. Medium bodied. Finish is spicy. Nice beer. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Dec 23, 2007 Bomber, courtesy of my SS. Copper color with a tight, bubbled head. The spicy aroma is cinnamon and nutmeg with some pumpkin. The palate is creamy smooth, reminding me of ST PumpKing. Nice maltiness and nice hoppiness. This is one of the best LH beers I’ve had in a long while. Some almond flavors as well. restless7 (104), Lenexa, Kansas, USA Dec 22, 2007 Very light but pleasantly spicy aroma, medium quickly dissolving head, medium body with spicy tones, hints of cinnamon and ginger with light hops. Nothing special and for the price (5.99) much better beers can be had. robforbes (1083), Bremerton, Washington, USA Dec 21, 2007 pour is a clear copper with a ruby tint, medium size foamy egg-shell head, good lacing.
smell is of nutmeg, allspice, malts.
taste is of ginger, allspice, slightly bitter, end is a bit sticky.
overall there is too much ginger, i don’t know what it is but left hand really likes to put ginger in stuff, now a little bit is probably okay but they seem to overdue it. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA Dec 21, 2007 This is a nice English strong ale with a bit of spices. Complex but well balanced. On the whole, it’s a little plain, but "plain" is in comparison to a beer like Fuller’s vintage. Pours a thick and oily nut brown with a tan diminishing head. Aromas of gently roasted malts, cinnamon, cloves, honey, and dried apricots. The taste has strong flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon and coriander. Finishes clean with a slight alcohol burn. It’s a strong ale. ford9719 (369), Vilseck, Germany Dec 21, 2007 Bottle. poured a black ruby color. Aroma is spicey and clover. Taste is sweet with a hint of clover in the finish. JustinBennett (67), junction city, Kansas, USA Dec 20, 2007 bottle thanks to ford9719. poured a dark carmally brown color. had a hint of caramel with a hint of spiced herbs. joergen (8429), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 20, 2007 Bottle.
