Nov 10, 2009 Bottle. Thanks Taylor. Poured a copper hue with a thin off white head. Nose is strong and sweet with alcohol with a hint of sour. No sour in the flavor, which is big, way big. For this abv this is very drinkable. Very sweet, and very strong, but very tasty. Its like whiskey beer, but not quite. Some carbonation. Really good

Nov 8, 2009 Pours a clear reddish copper with very little head. Aroma is largely alcohol. flavor is oak and alcohol. The alcohol notes over pour most other flavors and aromas. Body is light.

Nov 5, 2009 Updated: Nov 6, 2009Thanks Strykzone for this fascinating brew. From a 12 oz bottle this four year old (2005 bottling) poured a very dark brown with a large bubbled tan head and good lacing rings. You can smell this from six feet away with a big nose of fermented raisins, and alcohol. Mouthfeel is slick and oily and the body is fairly heavy. The flavor is more like Creme Sherry than beer and the finish is surprisingly mild considering the high alcohol content. A very unique and quite remarkable beer. You sip this one, and it was enjoyable from start to finish.

Oct 31, 2009 2005 Bottle thanks to Cletus...Pours chestnut brown with light tan head...Aroma is very sweet with honey, and raisins...The Flavors have blended very well with the 4+ years this bottle has on it. Starts off sweet end finishes with a burnt sugar flavor. No alcohol burn seeing how this a 15% beer. Thick with low to medium carbonation. Great beer.

Oct 19, 2009 Vintage 2006 bottle shard with Theis. Pours a clear reddish brown with an off white head and lacings. Smells woody and fruity ( a bit like wet wood). Extremely sweet with aromas of dates and raisins. Very full bodied. Soft carbonation. Quite dry finish with warming alcohol notes.

Oct 15, 2009 Updated: Oct 16, 2009My 200th!! 2009 15.07abv. Pours a very pretty dark red/amber. Thick creamy white head. Smell of sweet malts and honey. Taste is way strong for my liking but it is complex and full flavored. Taste the booze but the 15% is hidden well. Wanted something cool for #200 and at $10 this one is it.

Oct 15, 2009 An unclear reddish-brown beer with absolutely no head. The aroma was sweet, alcohol, fruity, & glue. The taste is like sweet syrup, very up front, in your face powerful taste- like the beast on the bottle. Taste like an over the top Barley wine, too sweet for my liking, which I think suggests some considerable ageing would do this wonders. This is the second hyper style beer that I’ve had that tastes & smells like glue, I find that strange & maybe it is me.

Oct 10, 2009 Updated: Oct 19, 20092004 bottle of batch ONE. Direct from Adam Avery’s cellar to my friend, to
my glass, to my mouth. 22 oz bomber pours Dark brown with light bubbly off white head. Incredible rich caramel aroma, hints of chocolate and bread. Full bodied, super sweet. Rich and well balanced with a deep molasses finish. Almost LIke a rich English barley wine with a belgian yeast underneath. This has aged incredibly well and it feels like it could hold up for a few more years at least. Definitely appreciative to have tried this batch one.
