Pour is a hazy tan with a large white head. Aroma is nutmeg and cinnamon spice with some white sugar. Flavor is pretty much what was in the aroma. Nutmeg and cinnamon with some tart apple aftertaste. While I do love a good spiced ale but I don't get anything Belgian from this. Decent if you like holiday spiced ales but don't go looking for the next Duvel here.

Bomber from CraftShack. 9.4% Pours coppery gold with a creamy/bubbly near-white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits, clove, banana. Med body or better. Flavor is aroma plus some nutmeg and perhaps cinnamon. Certainly not the typical Belgian Strong. Reasonably dry and spice substituting for bitter. Interesting concoction.

20th Dec 2017 saw my second visit to the Garage Brewpub, two Flights and a couple of 9 oz pours. This beer is brewed each winter and was on my second Flight (it's 9.2% ABV this year). Misty amber body, beige head. Spiced fruits in the aroma and taste, Peachy.
