| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Nice redbrown color. Sweetness, butter, raisin, small smokeiness, hop bitterness. This beer has too much of everything. The end result is a beer with no real depth. Rustyham (556), miami, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Batch #6. Very sweet as to be expected. Pours a dark caramel color with beige head. Aroma is almost like paint - but that’s in a good way. Alcohol is strong in this one and it doesn’t hide it. Very sweet and tart, but dry on the finish. A lot of tannins on this one - I would almost guess this was Beast from the Wood if I didn’t know any better. Notes of raisins and oak permeate this beer.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 8, 2009 A- Pours a super clear mercurial red hue, head is a small amount of white frothy bubble that dissipate to a thin layer, lacing is thin throughout
S- Aroma is mostly sweet sugars and fruits, some syrupy molasses and brown sugar, cherries and figs, caramel malts, a tinge of citrus
T- Initial taste is dark fruit and warming alcohol, soon followed by thick molasses and a touch of hops, this is one cloyingly sweet beer that is very high on cherries and ethanol, finishes with rich chocolate sweetness
M- Medium-bodied, smooth and watery texture, lively, bordering on over-, carbonation
D- This is one stiff drinking Grand Cru that doesn’t let you forget, there isn’t a lot of innovation going on here that would motivate me to bust through the heavy abv, interesting but not particularly exciting, there are better Grand Cru’s and better Avery’s out there that warrant your attention Defreni (999), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Flaske: Årgang 2006. Fantastisk god karbonering og et fint skum i forhold til den høje alkoholprocent. Sød duft meget lig en klassisk engelsk barleywine. SMagen derimod er rosiner alkohol og mucovadosukker, men karboneringen gør den drikbar. Overraskende god i forhold til forventningen. Rciesla (3580), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Bottle, batch 3. Pours a dark brown body with a thin tan head. Huge ethyl alcohol aromatic character, very sweet molasses, sweet malt, alcohol latent fruits and sugar. Lighter raisins, plum, and tobacco. Very aggressive body with a strong warming. Wow intense brew.
