Mar 25, 2006 Pour the color of cherry wood with a smallish light beige head. Aromas of soy sauce, and sugar. Lots and lots of sugar. We are talking friggin’ Wonka sugar. Guess what. Tastes like sugar too. I got a golden friggin’ ticket. Nutty, english toffee, some grapey notes, and wood. Alcohol was apparent, but blended well. Full and rich on each drink. Rolls over the tongue and slowly fades away. Takes a while to drink, but it is worth every second.

Feb 9, 2004 Updated: Jan 30, 2005Hearty malt aroma. I swear to you this head is greenish yellow, strange. Dark red in color. Taste is perfectly malty. Chocolate, cherries, and raisins all over. Big alc. taste that is almost too much. Nice sweet belgian yeastiness that sits in the background. Drinkable for this abv. An excellent beer, but almost took things too far concerning alcohol content and overall strength of taste. Would love to let this sit for a few years and then taste again.
ReRate: New version is way to strong. Aroma isn’t quite as good.

Jan 5, 2008 355 ml bottle, 2006-version. Clear amber color, beige head. It´s very, very sweet with dark, dried fruits, berries, sugar, alcohol and nice hops. A bomb, a sipper - you don´t drink much of this beer.

Feb 2, 2009 Rating #666. Batch 4, Bottle 2006. Dark earthy brown with a nice lasting cover of light tan head. Big alcohol soaked fruits, raisins, plums, nice maltiness for the aroma. For the taste, it has a nice syrupy feel, brown sugar and more raisins, plums, then a warming but balanced alcohol finish.

Jul 2, 2004 Dark mahogany-tined red body. Yeast, alcohol, and spicy dark malt comprise the aroma. The huge flavor bitch slaps your palate with alcohol, big malt and dry, woody hops. Warming alcohol in the throat. I can’t pick out too many individual flavors as the beer is so powerful. I called this beer "dumb" because it seemed like they were aiming to produce a big beer for the beer geek crowd, sort of like the sour candy craze.

Aug 13, 2005 This is quite the beast of beers. I got a hit off shag’s bomber of this powerful brew. All that i really got out of this one was an assload of alcohol and cough medicine.

Apr 13, 2005 Bottle. Strong alcohol aroma but not 15.7% strong. Rich and sweet in the nose. Rick, thick, dark copper body with yellow/orange hues on the edges. Small head with a ring of off-white around the glass. Very sweet candi sugar flavor. Very nice. Good hop/malt balance. Nice salty mouthfeel at the back of the tongue. As high alcohol and sweet as it is, still pretty easily drinkable. Nice hop profile. Really good. Better than Avery the Czar. A rich, big bertha of a brew. Notes of raisins, dates, molasses and candi sugar all come out. Thanks Tar.
