Sep 10, 2009 Batch 3. VERY powerful aroma from a highly differentiated dark to light brown pour with sporadic foam and legs. Sickeningly sweet throughout taste with strong date and molasses presence. Slightly slick, thick mouthfeel. WOW. Too sweet and hot.

Sep 6, 2009 Updated: Sep 19, 200912 oz. bottle-batch 6- FIRST DRINK- WOW, holy shit this beer is strong. Brown muddy look with very little head, the alcohol probably kills it. Highest alcohol brew i’ve ever had. I like it, although i am glad it is only a 12 oz. instead of a 750. LAST DRINK- This is a deceptively smooth beer, drinkable til the last drop, which can get you into trouble with an alcohol content of 16.31, kick ass label by the way.

Sep 4, 2009 Vintage 2008 – The Wine Shoppe (tasting) – Myrtle Beach, SC. Thanks for sharing, Chuck! Clear copper, off-white creamy head. Intense brandy cream and cognac infused dark fruit cake aromas ride deep undercurrents of Grand Marnier and hints of cherry almond. Candied pineapple and orange rye-like flavors give way to a closing soft finale of warming brown sugary booze. Full bodied and slick, soft carbonation, sweet fruity finish. If ever there was a perfect cigar beer….

Aug 26, 2009 2008 version aged a year. Pours chestnut with dense tan head. Nose is all honey and brown sugar. Very sweet beer, but the alcohol doesn’t hide. It jumps right out at you. Tastes similar to a sherry. Quicker finish than I’d thought.

Aug 24, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice, batch 4. Aroma was hefty on prunes, dates, molasses, caramel. Very sweet and appetizing smelling. Flavor was also very sweet, full of dark fruit, caramel, candy sugar and molasses. The booze was extremely well hidden, probably muted with the three years behind it. I could have drank another bottle of this, though that likely would have put an end to my night. Extremely tasty brew.

Aug 22, 2009 Bottle. Batch 6. Pours a ruby brown with a thin head. Plenty of alcohol on the nose along with some dark fruit and sweet notes. Mostly sweet to the taste. Flavors of plum and toffee. The alcohol warms. The texture is thick and syrupy. This is certainly a strong ale. Definitely meant to be a sipper. Enjoy it

Aug 18, 2009 From 2005 tried august 2009. The Aroma is full of alcohol, but also prunes and caramel behind it. There is a small head and the colour is amber. Flavor is of caramel and a bit of alcohol - very sweet and thick beer.

Aug 14, 2009 Got this at the Liquor Box in East Moline, IL before they unfortunately had to close. I didn’t take good tasting notes about it - but it bowled me over, to say the least.
