| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | May 7, 2008 Faint aroma of biscuits and dark fruit. Pours a reddish-amber with a big fluffy white head. Starts off with a cloying sweetness, no detectable alcohol in the flavor however. Syrupy mouthfeel, with a long sweet finish. Not a horrible beer, but far too sweet for my tastes. rizk (36), central florida, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2008 Bottle. Darkbrown with a thin lightbrown and long lasting head. Aroma is very sweet with notes of dark fruit and honey. This beer is evil.. mmather (113), Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 2, 2008 From the original batch aged for 3 years. Not much has changed here, still an incredibly sweet, alcoholically hot beer that I still love anyway. Stylistically and objectively beer-wise, it is an over alcoholic train wreck even 4 years later. However, I still like the malty sweetness and even though the incredible alcohol content is very evident, for me it doesn’t kill the beer. Perm (151), Tryon, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Notes from 2006 release.
This beer is worth having once, just so you can brag that you’ve had it. It’s hard to fork out that much moolah for a single 12 oz. bottle, though, when the Thomas Hardy’s is sitting right across the way.
This beer isn’t named and labeled with a nod towards Satan for nothing -- it is sinister and evil enough for the best of us, with the necessary amount of enticing temptation to make us waver.
This brew is definitely for sipping and respecting -- otherwise it’s liable to knock you right onto the floor.
As can be expected from something with that many different brewing sugars (turbinado, raisin, dates, molasses, honey, and dark Belgian candi), there is a pervading sweetness that certainly isn’t for everyone. I’m intrigued to cellear this one for the recommended 10 years and see how it matures/mellows. If I can convince myself to get past the sticker shock again. brewblackhole (1370), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2008 There should be a warning label on this brew that the little prissy pinkie extenders need not bother to even deal with this. This is one meaty brew,big full dark raisin,dates and alcohol aroma,monsterously sweet like sipping a port of Mogan David Wine. Ultimately complex, no flaws. johndavidj99 (123), Township, Maine, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Apr 24, 2008 Yuck. This was an unfortunate drain pour for me. I aged it 6 months too! It is that typical high alcohol content smell/taste that has a bad sweetness. It is similar to D’extra and Samels. Not up my alley.
