Feb 28, 2008 From bottle - Batch 3 - Pours a thick, cider looking color, with a late forming head. The head is offwhite and only lasts for about 15 seconds, then recedes back down into the beer. Strong nose, of yeast, soy sauce, vegetables, marinated steak, alcohol, honey, and some dark fruits. Really odd combonation i know, but thats what im getting. The taste has some rum charteristics. Sweet flavors with yeast, some honey. It is thick, and has a alcohol burn toward the end. The aftertaste is interesting, it is sweet, raisins maybe, some other type of fruit, there is alot going on with this guy. To me, it is a sipper...big time. But overall it isnt to bad.

Feb 24, 2008 This was such a good beer to drink and one that kept me on my toes. It had lots going on in the aroma and the flavor and a few ounces could not do it justice. So much fruit in the aroma that was only matched by the alcohol. This beer offered so much but the drinker should take note of the ABV!

Feb 16, 2008 Tropical, rummy notes. Ruby/amber hue, slight head. Extremely complex balance of flavors, the interplay with the different sweetnesses are amazing. Nice slow alcohol burn, almost drinks like a slightly effervescent sherry. Really enjoyable...a beer everyone should try at least once.

Feb 14, 2008 (bottle) Pours dark amber with an off-white head. Very sweet smell with some pineapple, raisin, and a lot of alcohol too. Taste was very, very, sweet with caramel, plum, raisin, and a hefty dose of alcohol on the finish. Mouthfeel was fairly full, but this beer was far too sweet and alcoholic.

Feb 14, 2008 Poured from a 12 oz. bottle. Rich mahogany appearance with a frothy tower of beige. Aroma is thick and heavily sweet with suggestions of steak sauce, vinegar and metal framing the body of seared brown sugar and alcohol; very dry. Similar taste is very plain and powerfully sweet, with melted caramel, toffee, and cheap whiskey, with hints of bubblegum and rum; only lightly vinous. Palate is slick and alcoholic, although the booze is not as bombastic as might be expected; heavy in body, presumptuous and demanding. Obvious, overdone, and not challenging in any respect except concerning the act of swallowing; not worth the effort.

Feb 13, 2008 [Bottle] Pours clear amber with a yellowish off-white head. Aroma is fairly sweet with caramel and vanila coming through. Far too much alcohol in the taste, and too sweet for me. There is an unusual taste also present--I can only describe it as plasticy, and am not sure what it is. Medium-thin mouthfeel. Too much alcohol and too sweet, but better than Samael.

Feb 7, 2008 Thanks to my parents who brought it all the way down from Clearwater Fl. I recommend that you let this beer breathe for about 10-15 minutes. Very warming, pleasent, deliciously malty and tangy.

Feb 5, 2008 thanks to mcbackus for the bottle.
batch 3 from 2005.
pours a very dark brown/ruby color. very small head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is super sweet, raisins, plums, figs, caramel, cognac, and alcohol. Flavour is again VERY sweet, with a strong cognac flavour that is LOADED with ripe dark fruit, and sugar. This is a super sweet beer. The finish is big on molasses, and you can feel the alcohol warming all the way down. This is definitely a BEAST of a beer. Sit down, sip and enjoy this one.
