dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 7, 2007 16.0% version. A roasty slightly nutty oatmeal aroma. Just all over the place. Very bittersweet and thick thick thick. A nice finish of both thick and thin and strong and grainy. An intense crazy beer. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jun 6, 2007 Pours thick with a full brown head that lingers. Aroma is of prunes, molasses, and cocoa. mouthfeel is thick. It tastes sweet and fruity with a cocoa finish. The alcohol level is very apparent throughout. It warms you right up and keeps you satisfied! SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Jun 6, 2007 I remember cracking this that merry night, pouring it, then sipping that first sip and knowing that i had run into something great!
Pours with a big beautiful brown lasting head....lacing is all that!-coco head sticks....Alcohol is very well masked for such a large abv....quite sweet!....not much balanced when it comes to sweet/bitters but for a massive beer like this, it doesn’t detract....is very intense + delicous....mouthfeel is amazing...sometimes you have to spoil yourself-..spoil yourself-..spoil yourself....... DuffMan (2719), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada Jun 5, 2007 This poured black with a surprisingly lively brown bubbly head that faded quickly. Very sweet aroma, hints of chocolate and stewed fruit and ethanol. Not as roasty as I would have guessed, and no coffee notes for me. Very sweet oily palate. Molasses, chocolate/toffee, vegemite (haven’t used that term in a while!) and fig-jam fruit with a warm alcohol finish that remains smooth and very well integrated for its calibre. Not what I was expecting, but enjoyable nonetheless. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA Jun 4, 2007 Poured black with a small brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, and caramel. Very strong alcohol start and finish with hints of malt and coffee trying to come through but couldn’t. Another Avery brew overpowered by alcohol. I suggest any other stout. chicagobears (336), Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA Jun 1, 2007 Pours a dense black. A highly bitter chocolate covered in butterscotch. Very sweet, yet retains a dry bitterness. This is like a Fannie-May boxed chocolate soaked in booze. Meet my expectations and beyond. MadIndian (987), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA May 23, 2007 Updated: Jan 14, 2008Bottle from Capones thanks Stegosaurus. Sampled with Dennis Bell. This beer deserves it’s average rating of 4+. It is fantastic. Beautiful pour , excellent aroma, the taste is sweet followed by roast and then this weird internal burn. I love it. OdinUSMC (7), Poquoson, Virginia, USA does not count May 22, 2007 First off, the bottle is horrible looking, the "demon" looks like Batman during his "batsuit with niples" years. Massive aroma lets you know that by drinking this you will be destroying any chances of not hitting a mailbox on the way home because it’s an ABV mack daddy. Oceanaic depths of tastes which don’t really come out until the alcohol has burned away 60% of your tastebuds. But once it does you’ll taste the dark rum and caramel macchiato esspecially. TIP: Buy a 6er drink it in an hour then try and explain to your girlfriend how you go to strip clubs with your friends to so you don’t look whipped. Cause your not...
