2008-03-28. Hazy amber not quite orange body, modest white head. (3+) Sweet yet dryly alcoholic aroma, odd notes to it, yeasty, not bubble gum but sort of confectionery in nature - candi sugar? Hints of fruit and brief figs. Sweet flavour, light spice and yeast, mild fruit. (7+) Average to medium palate. (3+) Rather nice. Bottle shared by GregClow.

Bottle (750ml=). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, jerc, mabel and tupalev - GregClow’s bottlel. Hazy amber-orange, small wispy off-white head. Thick candi sugar aroma, floral and spicy - very sweet. Taste incredibly sweet, mildly yeasty, sweet grassy/perfumey hops, sneaky-boozy too. Sticky, thick and sweet - really a good winter beer.

Bomber just released at abbot on the Hill. Bubble gum yeast nose, pleasing though on intentionally sweet side. Rising carbonation bubbles on dirty blonde body with elaborate lace scultuled glass. Full mouth yeast with fruitiness. Above average carbonation and still very drinkable to the end, with a friend.

Bottle- Decants a hazy, clouded blond. The white head is frothy and long lived, leaving nice spider web lace. Fruity nose is of apples and pears with white plum as well. Also in the nose are oak, hops and bready malts. Biscuity sweet malt marks the flavour off and adds apples and pear with floral spices and a deep dough contingent, finishing into a steep bitter decline. Quite full and flavourful. The finish ends with a hoppy, fruity, spicy myriad. Like a cosby-tri-osby. Well made.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding.
Pours a pretty, clear, light hazy golden. A great, staying, frothy white head on top that leaves wonderful lacing on my glass. Sweet aroma, light yeast, doughy, oranges and a touch of liqourice. Lively and fresh, but still rather thick. Flavour is wonderfully balanced, light vinious, dry hoppiness, some chili-like ’hot’ness, sweet doughy and biscuity malts. Exceptional balance.

Bottle. Fruity, spicy (coriander and oranges). A little bit of white bread. Very big white foamy head, long lasting. Orange cloudy body. Fruity and light acetic taste. Lively carbonation, light body, dry and light fizzy body. Nice one for Easter.
