Jan 2, 2010 Bottle courtesy of Beerbill. Pours semi-cloudy reddish brown, not much head. Aroma all spices and slight sweet fruit. Huge spice flavor--reminiscent of holiday spice cake, also sweet honey, maybe a touch of bananas. Very slight bitterness on the finish. Not bad around the holidays, if you enjoy spicy beers, but one of these probably goes a long way.

Dec 19, 2009 Clear dark copper with a thin tan quickly fading head. Aroma of ginger, cinnamon, honey and malt. Taste of honey, caramel, brown sugar, ginger, spices, cardamom and a touch of alcohol. The spice mix seems all wrong. Strong honey and spices on the finish and aftertaste.

Dec 10, 2009 22 oz. bottle, $4 at Sam’s before it became a Binny’s. Pours a deep mahogany brown, roils up a nice tan foamy head. Yes, a very spicy smell, starts with cinnamon-apple tart, nutmeg, and for a brief instance a bit of nose-cleansing wintergreen. Or I just imagined it. Yes, cardamon, to. Not an over done Belgian spice combo, but mainly a Christmas spice beer. Why change the name? Maybe because a Christmas beer might get marked down on Dec. 26. Taste is full of dark nutty malt and now I’m thinking about pumpkin pie spice, or maybe even mincemeat. Despite being a bit over spicy, it’s still a very drinkable beer, perhaps because the malt are quite smooth, hovering between a brown ale and a porter, and the alcohol is barely noticed. It turns out a bomber bottle was just enough, and usually I don’t need more than 12 ounces of a really spicy beer like this.

Spicy nutmeg and cloves aroma. Mid brown coloured smooth and a little rich on the palate. Strong in alcohol with a little bitterness and dryness in a crisp ginger flavoured finish.

Oct 17, 2009 Cloudy dark amber to brown in color with a short lived head. The aroma is powerful and mindful of candy cane combined with a just out of the oven gingerbread cookie. Surprisingly, the mouthfeel is weaker than what I expected. It’s medium bodied at best. The alcohol is noticeable in the taste. It is what it is, a winter warmer.

Oct 17, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009Pour from the 650ml. bottle: Bomber. Why the low ratings, people? Orange zest, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, yeast, ginger spices in the finish... I find that Lefthand is very forthcoming with their ingredients, especially with this ale. Drinkability: Dangerously drinkable. Perfect in the cooler months. Rebuy: Right away. #144 on 17102009, DG.

Oct 5, 2009 pours straight brown, with little head that disappears within seconds. smells of those little debbie gingerbread man cookies, with some nuts and a strong malty presence. tastes very much like cinnamon (too much for me) and i really cant distinguish too many other things. maybe some ginger and some hops? cant drink this one too fast, this beer isnt too bad but just not my style.
