Jun 8, 2009 375, 2005. Thanks, Hopscotch! One of the most complex, pleasant, and interesting beers that ever overwhelmed me with sugar. Loved it, but couldn’t finish it. My fault for opening on a hot day. Be warned. Pours a murky dark brown with bright caramel highlights. Headless, laceless, leggy, oily, sticky. Body’s super oily and sticky on the tongue. Oranges, sweet grape juice, caramel, toffee. Big thick sticky body, wow. Very sugary sweet--lots of complex flavors behind all that sugar. Could probably cellar for decades.

Jun 7, 2009 Mondiale 2009, a good place to try expensive Italian craft beers. This one had a small head, and little carbonation. I drank it but its style is akin to cough medicine.

May 23, 2009 Bottle. Pours a ruby/copper color with no head. Aroma was sweet and boozy with dried fruit, vanilla, caramel, port, and has a hint of brown sugar. Flavor was silky smooth and quite sweet with caramel, brown sugar, dried fruit, raisins, port and alcohol with a sticky full body. Decent but to expensive.

May 11, 2009 Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Vintage 2005. Clear amber golden with absolutely no head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and honey - almost mead-like in character with the alcohol already showing in the nose. Very full-bodied, completely flat, intense accents of nuts, caramel flower pollen and overripe fruit - perhaps a little licorice also. No bitterness but a warming alcohol finish. 220309

May 2, 2009 Bottle shared by rustychiles...THANKS RUSTY!!! Not sure how I forgot to enter in this rating (although quite a few brews were presented @ the Hellbilly Tasting!!! Maple syrup pour with absolutely no head and minimal carbonation. Amazingly sweet...caramel, molasses, raisin, vanilla, and maybe even a hint of chocolate. Coats the palate like varnish on oak...interesting.

Apr 14, 2009 2004 vintage bottle from Beverage Castle (Tampa, FL). Pours a syrupy, menacing tobacco brown color with no head. Very light to no carbonation, but a slight pop from the bottle when cracked. Aroma is sweet and boozy with a complex array of ripe dark fruits, rum-soaked raisins, brown sugar, molasses, vanilla, wood, some vinous qualities. Flavor is sweet and syrupy with sweet toffee, caramel, ripe dark fruit, overripe apple, vanilla, wood, brown sugar, bourbon-like character. Generally medium body with a syrupy sweet, and strongly alcohol finish.
