Nov 30, 2009 this was a treat to sample. Strong doesn’t begin to cover this beer. It’s clearly meant to be treated like drinking scotch. the taste is very unique, its strong but it mellows into something very warm and almost candy like. anyone who’s into beer has to give it a sip if it’s around bottom line

Nov 27, 2009 Bottle 9434 of the 2007 bottling. Pours a clear deep copper color with zero head or carbonation. Tons of caramel, sweet toffee and booze on the nose. Very heavy on the palate with toffee, caramel, candied dark fruits and booze being dominate. Glad I finally opened this beer, Would rather spend $40 on a 2o year tawny port than the $170 price tag for this again.

Nov 21, 2009 A one ounce pour at hop devil grille with Thor, Luis, Kara and others. Amazing aroma of figs, funky doughy bateria, molasses... Literally stings the nostrels. Intense mouth unlike any other.. Brutal sting and sweet malt scotch and port. Has a delicious side taste like deisel fuel. I had this as an appetizer and only wish I could everyday.

Nov 20, 2009 Rating number 2800. Bottle thanks to Tran and Chris at Perry’s. Pours with a clear, brandy colored body and legs that just don’t stop. Aroma of maple, fusel alcohol, oak, raisins, caramel, dates and alcohol burn. Taste starts with dryness from the bourbon, sweet raisins from the sherry and all sorts of caramelized notes, flan, maple, toffee. Waves and waves of sweet liquor. Port and noble rot. Ultra syrupy mouthfeel with a nice burn. Excellent

Nov 16, 2009 Very dark in color, hints of vanilla, and toffee, sticks to the side of the glass. Full mouth flavor that makes you lick your lips and your tongue dance in your mouth. Finishes with a slight bitterness and hints of bourbon that last long after you finish your sample.

Nov 14, 2009 2009 edition; 2 oz. shot at Palmer Place; $20. If you’re a beer geek, this is the one everyone will ask you about, so let’s get my cherry popped here. Bright brown in tiny snifter. Deep alcoholic smell makes my eyes water. It’s 54 proof, after all; should be considered a peer or a liqueur? Also some vanilla and sour cherry in the nose. Could this be served flambé? I try to hold some on my tongue for tasting. It’s vinous and very strong. Again with cherries, and cassis. I am irresistibly drawn to keep sniffing its sherry and brandy nose. Sherry in taste joined by vanilla, figs, more sherry, pear. A brew transfigured beyond hops and malt. Palmer Place got 6 bottles of this.

Nov 14, 2009 Big thanks to daknole for sharing this. Wow, this smells great. Caramel, raisins, molasses,vanilla and booze. Similar flavors. Very rich and boozy. Very much like a cognac. Zero carbonation. A nice sipper.
