Dec 16, 2007 Batch 5. Crisp dark amber color with no haze or sediment. Creamy off-white head that slowly disappeared over five minutes. Sugarm, molasses, toffee and faint hops on the aroma. Oh, alcohol too. Sugar, molasses, dried pitted fruits and rich malts in the body. Yeasty bite on the finish.

Dec 15, 2007 Dark amber with tiny off white head. Aroma has stroong alcohol notes, hops and toffee. Sweet flavor with the high alcohol level to present. There is raisins, plums and it finishes off bitter. A good candidate for the cellar...

Dec 13, 2007 Picked up at Brawley’s in early 2006 during my trip to Charlotte, this 2005 batch of beast at 14.9% was a little too strong to pass the Georgia ABV cap. I chose an EKU goblet to pour it into, and there it sat deep red, with a small head. The smell was honey, orange marmalade, and fruit punch, but amazingly not boozy at all. The taste was very sweet indeed, as if someone had blended a jar of apple and grape jelly with beer. Molasses and maple syrup appeared in the taste well. There was a hint of spice and a touch of citrus, but sweetness was far too strong to call them any kind of a counterbalance. No hops anywhere. Very warming in the finish as anticipated. Sticky in the mouth, but the aftertaste was a simple fading sweetness. Worth a try if you are a fan of big beers, and don’t mind a malt bomb.

Dec 13, 2007 14.9% Clear copper with a tan head. Strong smell of sweet ripe plums, dates and figs. Heavy body with sugary sweet flavors same as the smell. Finishes with a strong alcohol punch. Too much sugar and alcohol here. 03/07/2006

Dec 11, 2007 Wow! The aroma is of strong malt and very fruity, almost leathery. Nice appearance. Flavor is like a brandy, very complex. What an amazing beer.

Dec 11, 2007 Updated: Sep 2, 2008Pours a beautiful amber- mahogany tone with almost no head. Nose is sweet with syrupy sugar and fruity. Flavor is like a punch in the face Sweet from malt and sugar, and the kick of a 50% shot. Very complex with different malts and a bit of an earthy touch. Really incredible beer that burns for a while. This one really lives up to its name.
