Sanchex (218), Brampton, Ontario, Canada Dec 19, 2007 Unlike some of the other raters, I didn’t get any spice whatsoever. Very sweet aroma and flavour dominated by apricot with a little prune. Very flavorful and quite drinkable. I could definitely go for another bomber. Cheers! GregClow (2299), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 21, 2003 The bottle is 5 months past the "best before" date, but it seems just fine to me. Colour is a rich red-copper colour with a small beige head. Aroma is big & spicey, like a good plum pudding. Flavour is sweet and slightly alcoholic, with notes of plums, raisins and licorice, and a decent bit of hops in the finish. A super beer for the holiday season. Radek Kliber (3278), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 23, 2003 Decent soft slightly sweet aroma. Medium body, nutty, with decent hops taste. Feels lighter thank given 6.5 %. Thanks Doug! Cartoon_khaki (1105), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Mar 19, 2003 Roasted aroma. Nice head. Malt sweetness, toffee. Smooth and with a bitterness that hangs off the sides of your tounge. Very pleasing I will have this again. DougShoemaker (2553), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Mar 2, 2003 Roasted malt aroma, pours a large toffee head, very nice lace. Caramel flavour, with some nutty tones, a fine malt aftertaste. Well balanced, malt at the beginning, followed by a pleasing bitter finish. A good English Strong Ale, really good label too.
