Dec 24, 2009 Pours a very clear amber color with a beautiful one inch head that makes a hooker horny. Aroma is sweet yet spicy with some hops present. Taste is hoppy spicey and bready (malty). Very crisp with a little hop bitterness at the end of the taste. Good stuff.

Dec 24, 2009 Had a bomber and the 12 oz bottle I’m drinking here. Huge difference as the bomber was fresh and much hoppier. Pours a glowing ruby brown with a creamy light tan head. Aroma of fig and dark fruit, a bit cake like in the sweetness, this 12 oz bottle is a bit oxidized in the hops which have been muddled by the malt. Flavor starts sweet, mellow, a bit doughy, nice dark fruit, some spices, not at all citric like the bomber I had. Medium creamy body and a light fizzy carbonation. This is like two different beers, amazing. I’m actually warming to this older one, very english tasting. Both are pretty good though.

Dec 24, 2009 reddish brown with decent white head, sweet nose. moderate carbonation. a lot of low crystal and upper crystal malt, just mild bitterness, a lot of residual sweetness and depth, a good brew, one that makes you think it has more alcohol than it does, very flavorful and an underrepresented style

Dec 24, 2009 2009 bomber. Hazy orange with a light off-white head. Fruity nose - grape, apple, maybe some pine, too. Flavors are sweet toffee malt and lightly spices, with a medium crispy/grassy hop note. Smooth palate and nice body. A pleasant Christmas ale - malty, but balanced well to the hops.

Dec 24, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, very pretty copper colored body with a firm, tan, inch thick head that dissipates slowly and leaves lots of lacing that remains for the entire session. Aroma is a nice mix of light caramels, spices, a bit of citrus, and a good amount of grassy hops. Flavor is the same with maybe a bit of a toffee flavor creeping its way in. Finishes rich, spicy, and crisp with a light grassy bitterness. Moderate length aftertaste after a smooth, light to medium body, and moderate carbonation. Overall, a great all-around holiday ale. Lightly sweetened malts, some citrus, spices, and balanced bitterness make this quite enjoyable. Solid.

Dec 24, 2009 Bottle 2009. Beautiful dark brown appearance and a good aroma of hops. Lags some aftertaste besides the obvious taste of hops and malts.
