Feb 5, 2007 Bottle from the beer depot, ann arbour, purchased march 06. Pours murky dark cafe mocha colour, with a thin skin of cream coloured fizz. huge molasses and chocolate aroma with lots of spices and an assault of alcohol and lactic/milkyness. Flavours are like a mix of molasses with some beer and spices add in. There are some milk chocolate flavours here, and some lactic acidiity as well,but it’s way to unbalanced to really be enjoyable, even for sipping. After I drank this, I was sick as a fucking dog and had the worst hangover of my life, and I even shared it. Never again.

Feb 1, 2007 pours a nice medium honey color with a nice head that disappears rather quickly. smells very nice, sweet, alcohol, a little fruit and sugar...the flavor is very sweet, with a follow of an alcohol burn. the flavors i picked out seemed to be raisins, sugar, maybe a little cherry, and of course the ever present alcohol. this may be one ill be back to re-rate when the other bottle has aged a bit.

Rather pleasant aroma of orange peel, brown sugar and yeast.
This is a bit too sweet and cloying for my taste, but with huge flavours of all sorts ofsweet stuff - raisins, syrup and vanilla. Alchohol is quite dominating and I’m sure that everything will taste just like "the beast" for the rest of the evening. Very big body as well - probably wont be able to finish the bottle for a couple of hours. Not my favourite from Avery"

Jan 28, 2007 12oz. Bottle: Strong aroma. Smells like Robitussin. Also smells of fruit, berries, alcohol, and sour mix. Poured ruby in color with a big, foamy, tan head that lasted. Good lacing. Clear. Very Sparkling. Very complex flavor is lightly sweet but not bitter. Tastes of cherries, alcohol, toffee, malt, nuts, molasses, and sugar. Full body. Thick texture. Average carbonation. Sweet, raisin flavored finish. Overall, this really hides the alcohol content well. I did not think I would like this beer, but I did. Pleasant surprise.
