Aug 4, 2004 Updated: Aug 8, 20042004 bottle. Pours a dark maroon-brownish tan. Big tan head, thick and aromatic. Lots of plums, candi sugar, alcohol, earthy hops and yeast. Big aroma that is fruity, estery and fills your nose. Though I couldnt get past the over-the-top nature of The Czar, I could handle this stuff. Drinking it warmed proved to let out the alcohol, but it seemed almost controlled by the huge malt, but also the big yeasty flavor and well-timed bitter hops balance. Palate, while being hugely bitter, alcoholic and sweet, is just superbly smooth and washes down with a soft, slow burn. Hints of banana and bubble gum on the finish, warm and vinous with tons of sugar. Hey, you can’t fault the flavor, and I even think this one is going to improve after a year. I never thought it possible with the Czar, but it proved me wrong, so why can’t this one?

Aug 26, 2008 355ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - 2007 bottle
Very sweet bready aroma. Deep red, tiny head. Biting alcohol, but otherwise soft and sweet palate. Finish has alcohol burn. First taste is sticky sweet malts, burnt, and almost tarry in part. However, on the whole it’s very hard to describe. Big like a barley wine, but made superconcentrated. Tons of malt - some marmite. I got a gluey aroma after a while. There’s a guilty pleasure to this - I kind of like it but think I shouldn’t.
