Jul 25, 2007 I brought the ’05 for theisti and KAggie 97. KAggie brought the ’06.
2005: Clear mahogany color with very little head. Big raisin and maple and honey nose. Huge alcohol warming sensation with strong candied and sugar flavors.
RATING: 7/4/8/4/16 = 3.9
2006: Similar in appearance to the 2005, but with a foamy tan head. Take some raisin and brown sugar and mix it with bourbon aromas. Nice. Not initially, with lots of candied fruits like apricots (and raspberries as it warms) as well ass rose and floral notes...and these all get swept away by cloying sweetness. Seems like it needs more time to mellow just a bit.
RATING: 7/4/7/3/15 = 3.6

Oct 7, 2007 Purchased from Holiday Wine Cellar. This strong ale appears with very clear clarity as a mahogany color topped by a small layer of film. It doesn’t have a strong induced aroma for having such a strong and high alcohol percent, but it does allow some aroma of sweet malt and sugar to be sniffed out. In the flavor, a more noticeable alcohol presence is apparent as well as sugary sweet malt and moderate spiciness of yeast being utilized.

Feb 28, 2006 Bottle. Batch 3. Mahogony color with a medium tan head, very frothy, nice lacing. Aroma is very malty--caramel, and a lot of fruity, yeasty odors (raisin, plum). Flavor is strong caramel and very similar to aroma. Very string alcohol aftertaste. Great beer.

Jun 17, 2008 This is an amazing Grand Cru. It’s balanced is a bit swayed toward a sweetness and alcohol presence, but it is still excellent. It pours a dark amber color with a strong raisin and cany sugar aroma. It has The taste is very sweet with the same flavors present at swallow as are in the aroma. The alcohol presence warms as it goes down and makes up for the lack of head and carbonation.

Jul 3, 2006 I had the 15.7% version. This baby is a monster in every sense of the word. The pour is deep ruby red with a tan head. The head dissipated rather quickly. The aroma is alcohol with some chocolate and sweet malt mixed in. The mouthfeel on this one is great--sticky and thick. Flavors are mostly of very sweet malt, dark fruits, chocolate, and alcohol. This beer reminded me of a port. It had that same sticky sweetness and alcohol flavor--which I personally enjoy. "
