| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Bomber. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Initial sniffs found the aroma of veggies but that dissipated and malts were the main aroma. The flavor found sweet chocolate and winter spices with a light hop background. Medium body. Pretty decent. decaturstevo (1985), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 1, 2007 A hazed brown pour with good lacing. A spicy aroma of citrus and the flavor of roasted malt and a nice warming that is even and pleasant. It has a good bitter finsih, not overpowering but present. The palate is just a tad thin but overall a good beer. ogglethorp (887), Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Mar 1, 2007 Bottle (XXXmas Ale) Pours a dark amber color with minimal beige head. Aroma is very festive, sweet malt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, clove, citrus. Flavor is sweet, honey, caramel, orange, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, ginger. Palate is medium bodied, almost no carbonation, overly sweet and spicy, slightly warming. Not very good, lacking in balance, needs help big time. Foxbush (456), Richmond, Virginia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Updated: Dec 12, 2007At the 2007 Big Beer, Belgians, & Barleywines Festival in Vail. Mahogany reddish-purple amber in color with a medium off-white head. Orange aroma with discernable cloves and nutmeg. Flavor is watery for the style, but produces honey seweetness, strong ginger, cinnamon, and even a bit of cardamom. I think they just cleaned out Mom’s spice cabinet and tossed everything in. Should have tossed in a bit more malt, eh? UPDATE 12/2007: At the Max & Joe’s Left Hand tasting. Huge strawberry flavor. Dark reddish amber with a medium-sized beige head. Palate is slightly peppery and harsh. Malty mouthfeel, but the strawberry flavors are remarkable! brentfeesh (1037), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Shared with Mr. Facto, CaptainCougar, & 1FastSTi. 22 oz bottle. Poured clear with a port like color and a light head. The aroma was all clove and allspice. Strong. The flavor also was dominated by allspice. That spice was layered all though the malt body of this lightly sweet brew. Medium body that had a mineral quality to its slickness. Not my favorite but I think I’ve discovered I don’t like allspice in my beer. 1FastSTi (2557), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 26, 2007 Bomber consumed at Matt’s place. The beer pours to a reddish amber body with a thin white head. The aroma is heavily allspice and cinnamon. I swear there is pumpkin in there. The flavor is heavy on the allspice and also seems to be made from pumpkin. The beer has a spicy palate. A nice winter brew. ehhdayton (1113), USA
