3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
2003 bottle. Thin off white head on clear amber with a few translucent flakes floating. Fruity candi sugar and green raisen aroma with some whiskey. Smooth and still on the palate. A complex fruit basket flavor with fig, yellow plum and dried apricot. Interesting, tart, almost tannic finish that fights with the prior flavors. A really amazing chorus of flavors that doesn’t quite harmonize.

Bomber. Clear straw golden with voluptuous white head. Aroma has lots of spices - coriander, nutmeg, light cinnamon - also hay, booze, caramel, light bubblegum. Taste is sweet caramel with spices, ending in a bitter boozy blast.

Bomber. Pours a light golden with a big creamy off white head. Aroma is spicy and fruity, a light peach and apricot, but the spiciness is nicely balanced, mostly the nutmeg there. Nice belgian yeasty character, zesty and fresh. Flavor starts sweet, a bold fruit character, apricot mostly coming out, some citrus and a surprisingly sweet breadiness towards the middle, kind of odd. I think 17thfloor might be right about the lack of freshness. Some spice rides through the slightly dry finish. Medium to medium full body and a soft but crisp carbonation. Not bad, but freshness could be a factor

On tap at brewery. Poured a deep golden color with a large off white head. Aroma has a bit of spice with some light honey and caramel. Banana, clove, and alcohol also are evident. Banana and clove are in the taste, but this time more prominent. There’s a bit of fruit, maybe pineapple and peach. Alcohol is there, but moderate. Finishes with some caramel malt, and a touch of the candy sugar.
