Bomber, dated 00/00/2006.. weird. Poured clear coppery-amber with a short, somewhat loose-bubbled beige head. The aroma picked up rich, toffee, dark fruits, and molasses amplified by a spicy alcohol presence and a yeast I know I’ve picked up in other Mikkeller stuff.. a touch medicinal on the back, and this came close, but didn’t quite jive. The flavor found more of the molasses and dark fruit at the core with sharp fruity bitterness, warm spices, and medicinal boozage around.. sharp through the finish. Medium-bodied, but with a much lighter feel than I would’ve liked.. sharp overall, and it really didn’t come together.. bummer.

Nov 15, 2009 Rating #1600. Bottle. Hazy amber body with a creamy longlasting off white head. Heavy malty aroma with lovely abt yeasty notes and x-mas spices. Dark molasses and dried dark fruit. Sweet malty flavour with a lick of spices and rip fruit. Ends up fruity and bit alcoholic. Very nice.

Nov 6, 2009 Bomber shared by Jason. The beer pours to a clear iced tea colored body with a thin off-white head. The aroma is dates and yeast with a lot of spicy components. The flavor is lots of spices and almost a medicinal herbs with caramel and bananas. The palate is super sharp and over-carbonated with a bunch of alcohol.

Aug 22, 2009 Mostly clear rust colored body with a small brown sugar colored head. Semi-sweet nose contains some small hints of whatever herbs or spices were added, but mostly there’s an unnecessary medical/nutrisweet note. Flavor isn’t much different - difficult to get over medicinal/chemical flavors, some twang, some caramel malt, some muted spices. Doesn’t come together into anything good. Body is syrupy up front but thinning in the middle, spices are a mess, malt body is a mess. Awful.

Aug 22, 2009 murky red amber that is hazed with a dark shade of white for a head. oxidized nose with cinnamon and old apple pie(minus the cheese). figs and apple flavor with a light dusty spice. a bit of chocolate in the finish. lingering pepper notes. thin body. and a bit worse for wear.

Apr 11, 2009 (Bottle, purchased at Ölbutikken, Copenhagen) Reddish brown colour, slightly hazy, with a frothy beige head. Fruity, malty nose with dried fruit, orange peel, marzipan, citrussy hops and hints of rubber or glue. Malty, fruity taste with notes of dried fruit, orange peel, caramel, brown sugar, raisins in rum and generous doses of spicy hops in the finish. Medium to full body, fairly sweet. Rather vinous with a warming touch of alcohol. Nice Christmas beer (sampled on Easter Eve!)

Dec 24, 2008 Bottle. Slightly hazy dark amber with no head. Aroma is a touch stale at first - suggesting that maybe it wasnt a good idea to hold on to this bottle for a couple of years before opening it - but it soon opens up to a pleasant combo of brown sugar, rum-soaked raisins and warm alcohol. Medium bodied. Warm and sweet flavour, with notes of sourdough rye bread, toffee, brown sugar, raisins and prunes. Slightly vinous finish with a lot of boozy warmth. A little rough around the edges, but a pretty nice winter warmer.
