Bottle from Darby’s Liquor Store, Vancouver, 6.6% ABV
Cloudy amber color with compact head. Very nice aroma of fruity and resiny hops, and later earthy caramel. Good body strength: it has a strong caramel and toffee flavor, with extreme bitterness, a peppery note from the rye, rich of resiny hops, and bitter orange oils.
Powerful, very good.

650ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clear deep amber with a one finger off white head that quickly disappears. Nose is rye and some light citrus and spice. Light sweetness with some spice from the rye and fairly bitter finish. Mouth seems a little thin with average carbonation; I would expect a bock to be a little fuller.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pours a hazy brownish amber with a generous off white head. Nose is grain, toffee and spice. Sweet malt throughout with some spice dominated by cloves but not overpowering. A light bitterness in the finish. Lots of different things going on but pretty well balanced. Mouth is medium slick with slightly soft carbonation. OK, but not my favourite from Camerons.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a medium size foamy head with light retention and some small lacing. Aroma of strong bourbon notes with some woody notes. Taste is also dominated by strong bourbon notes with light vanilla notes and some dry oak notes. Finish is quite dry with light residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not sure if the base beer is that great bit the bourbon notes are quite interesting.

Single bomber at the LCBO. Pours a clean deep amber colour with a yellow head, fizzing away quickly and topping a little the brew. Spicy aromas over the rye, almost reminding me of a nice drinkable Belgian Ale. The mouthfeel is pretty fizzy as well. That same Belgian Ale taste with the spices, yeast and darker malts. Hints of cherry. Pretty nice from Cameron’s, but gets a little saturated to drink too much of it.

Bomber from the LCBO, from their "Oak Aged Series" with a 8.6% ABV. Pours a dark copper colour with some red highlights. Creamy beige head, decent retention and not much lace. Dark fruit aromas with some plums and prunes. Hints of roasted malts, cherries and coffee. The taste is not as sweet as the nose gives out to be. Still the dark fruits, but milder with some hop finish and light yeast lingers. Alcohol is well-hidden. Vanilla notes and bourbon are quite mild, almost nonexistent. Nonetheless, goes down nicely.

650ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a very dark reddish brown with a generous pillowy beige head. Nose is dominated by bourbon with wood and vanilla undertones and a bit of raisin. Quite sweet throughout but the barrel seems to overpower everything else and doesn’t allow the malt to come through, though it does subside a bit as it warms; vanilla dominates with some coffee and plum in the background. Medium body with soft carbonation. Haven’t tried the non-oaked version to compare.
