Bomber from Country Club Liquors. Nose is sweet, nutmeg, bubblegum, candisugar, and golden raisins. Very dark opaque brown with a medium tan head. Flavor is moderately sweet, spicy, and fruity with just a hint of bitter; very Belgian.

Draft at the brewery - San Diego. Pours lightly hazy amber with a creamy, off-white head. Loads of spices in the nose, some squash, pumpkin, nutmeg, bread. Medium sweet flavor with definite alcohol bump, cinnamon and nutmeg, gourd, sugary bread. Medium to full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish, lightly warming, with more winters spices, subtle toffee, rich bread, nutmeg. Nice spicy winter beer.
