Apr 9, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2007The aroma smelled like raisins, mollasses, and alcohol. The flavor was very sweet. Too sweet for me. Tasted exactly the way it smelled. Raisins, mollasses, and then alcohol. This beer packs a punch.

Apr 8, 2007 12oz bottle batch#4 pours a deep red-purple color with almost no head to speak of. This got a lot of blood in my alcohol system fast. The Beast name fits this beer well. To sweet for my taste, but good damn that beer packs a punch.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottle 2006. One taste and you know why they called it "beast". Lots of mollasses and raisin in the nose. Nice deep reddish color. A huge burst of flavor in the mouth. A great winter warmer.

Apr 1, 2007 Bottled 2006: the beast looks good. Redbrown color, small but steady head. Vinous raisinny aroma. Brandy. Extremely sweet but also vinous flavor. Sugary and alcoholic. Porto flavor. Thick mouthfeel. Has complexity but remains too sweet IMO.

Mar 24, 2007 2005 bottling batch, from the bottle, pours an opaque reddish color with very little head. Its strong aroma is impossible to ignore as it pours into the glass. Smells of alcohol, raisins, caramel and malt. Tastes as strong as it smells. Wow. Sweet at first, with a very prevalent alcohol flavor. Also in there are the caramel, honey, and candy sugar. The honey is more prevalent in the aftertaste, leaving a lingering flavor on the tongue. As it warms, the honey and sugars begin to overtake the alcohol, though it does not go away by any means. Tastey brew, but it’s called a Strong Ale for a reason.

Mar 20, 2007 Pours almost purple. Little to no head and barely any lacing. Very fruity, plums, raisins. No hop bite whatsoever. A little to sweet for me. Alcoholic nonetheless.

Mar 20, 2007 BIG beer. This is from a 2005 bottle at the Bodega Brew Pub, downtown La Crosse, Wis. USA. Not much in the head/lace department. But the aroma is jam packed full of dark ripe fruit: blackberry, plum, fig, dates, raisins; flavors are all a that but accented. Pleasant clean finish. Color is deep reddish brown slight head, minimal lace.

Mar 18, 2007 Had to try this myself to understand the hype of the 2006 Bottle. Aroma of caramel covered apples, maybe a hint of cherry pipe. Pours a ruby amber color, with a tan head. Sweet and malty with complex alcohol flavors. Full bodied, syrupy, and low carbonation. Not your typical lawnmower beer! Definitely a sipper with a good cigar malt beverage. I’m definitely putting four bottles aside and try it again in about ten years.
