Aug 8, 2009 Picked up at a secret location. Batch 6 bottled in 2008. Glad to have purchased this except for the high price ($10.99 per 12 oz.) Dark caramel translucent brown. Very pungent. Big caramel malt aroma, not bad with the alcohol I must say. Nice aroma. There is also a slight sweet aroma. For this much alcohol the aroma isn’t bad. Big sweet flavor up front. The alcohol does burn, but this beer has a nice soothing sweet flavor. Nice fruit flavor as well. The alcohol warms everything up. Maybe if I were to have tried this in the winter it would be a bit different but this is 90 degree weather. Sweet malt flavor dominates. Starts off with the malt sweet flavor, and then the burn sets in. Very smooth beer, but again the alcohol is slightly intrusive. Overall, pretty good brew.

Aug 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Trying to review this without typos. As anyone who has had this beer will know, it will knock you on yer arse. Strong molasses, raisin, and brandy flavor and aroma. This is the strongest beer I’ve ever had at 16.31% alcohol. This is batch 6. I can’t imagine ever buying this regularly, but it’s nice for special occasions, like my birthday, which is today. Interesting brew. Happy birthday to me!

Jul 17, 2009 Another superb specialty beer from Avery. Batch 6 is a sweet beer that is hard to pin down. All sorts of stuff going on in there, and very enjoyable. My Lord these guys are good.

Jul 13, 2009 2008. Pours an amber body with a creamy, foamy beige head. Smells of caramel, malt, roast, toffee, ripe fruit, little sour. Flavor is roast, toast, toffee, coramel, little nuttiness. Finish isn’t overly hot given the ABV and sticky sweet. A lot going on with this beer. Almost like a mix of an imperial IPA and belgian trippel. I really enjoyed this.

Jun 27, 2009 Brown pour with small beige head. Aroma of raisins, bread, booze, currants, yeast. Flavor is sweet bread, extremely hot booze. Syrupy mouthfeel. Damn this was strong.

Jun 27, 2009 This one is strong!! Man it burns all the way down, but don’t let this scare you, this is a tasty brew. Has a caremelish amber color and kinda taste like molasses on the way down. Had batch 6 and even with the 16.31%ABV it blends well. Well worth the price
