A favorite beer style of mine along with a high ABV to boot! Oh my God! Wow! Bottled in 2004. 22oz bottle. Poured a small sized tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that mostly dissipated. The body was carbonated, transparent and a ruby hue. Beautiful! The aroma was just as beautiful...malty, caramel, sweet, spicy notes, raisins, and alcohol. The flavor was extremely to my liking since I so much enjoy high ABV beers. It was sweet tasting, alcohol, and cherries. The mouthfeel was tingly and it had an alcohol burn in the back of the throat. The lacing was sparse. Definitely a sipping beer. Hoping to get another bottle of this to age. This is definitely a kick-ass beer!! Party on!! stouby (1955), Holbaek, Denmark

Red with a beige head, fine lacings. Aroma heavy malty (/dark fruits, raisins, plum), light hoppy. Flavor heavy sweet, light bitter. Smooth and round, vinous. Full body, soft carbonated. Strong in alcohol. odddodd (2), Superior, Colorado, USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Dec 1, 2004 It truely is a beast. The alcohol is apparent at first but masked by a sweet prune like flavor. This is a beer I I would age. It calms down after a year or more in a cellar. Definitely buy to collect this bad boy!

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 22, 2007 Bottle, batch 4. I absolutely love this beer! Beautiful to look at, wonderful to smell and so nice going down in both flavour and palate. Full of raisins, figs and sweetness combined with just the right amount of alcohol. Has so many elements of a good port and reminds me of the best barley wines I’ve tried (which I’d say it is). Enjoyit (1746), Vadum, Denmark

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 22, 2006 Updated: Jun 27, 2006From bottle, batch 3. Nose is exquisite - overall sweetness, apples, alcohol. Flavor is outstanding, much of the nose appears, as well as some caramel, and brown sugar. Feels very smooth on the palate - the alcohol does rear it’s head a bit, but not as much as you’d expect for a 14.9% beer. A superb addition to the Demons of Ale series from Avery. mgermani (865), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Pours a lovely rich ruby with a thin layer of foam and minimal lacing. Aroma is SUBLIME! Oh my good glory: at first overwhelmingly sweet, but on closer inspection pickled ginger comes through strong and clear... The taste delivers on every promise of the aroma: strong and sweet with so many layers of spice one doesn’t even know where to begin... speculoo (brown sugar, cinnamon) raisin, lots of raisin in the finish, which lingers a loooong, loooong time. A surprisingly crisp body for such a dense-flavoured beer, decent carb. My god I love this beer and I fear it shall end me.
