Mar 27, 2009 Sampled at hellbilly’s hellraiser 3 gathering. Bottle courtesy of rustychiles. Pours a deep red color with little head. Lots of roast, spice, fruit and alcohol in the aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, fruit, raisins and spice. Decent alcohol bite and some hoppiness on the finish. Delicious. Thanks Rusty!

May 11, 2008 All I can say about this is wow.. This cost me $240 for a 6-pack case, but it was worth every penny. This is like a carnival in a bottle, large toffee popcorn aromas, some butterscotch, and cotton candy. Lots of dark fruit flavors, with sweet molasses, dates, a bit of tar, and rich alcohol to round out the finish. This was lovely.

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.

Aug 3, 2008 Thanks to a few Santas ago for this one. Pours out a thick reddish brown with no head, no carbonation, was like that I’d think pouring Mrs Butterworth’s into a snifter would be like. Aroma was very sweet with some dried fruit, earth and alcohol. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel with notes of dried fruit, caramel, alcohol, toffee and some port also. Sweetness dominates. Interesting but at the price tag I thank Santa for this one, because I’d probably never buy it.

Sep 15, 2009 2004 Bottle - Lordy, lordy...Thanks to Sam, we tasted all 3 Xyauyu side by side, absurd!...Pours shimmery dark gold, no head, a still beer, if you call it beer...aroma is aged fruit, caramel and molassas...flavour is the same, smooth as silk and only slight heat, sherry like in the mouth...I would never have guess this beer if tasing from stemware without pouring it myself...if not for the absurd price tag, this would easily always be in my house.

Feb 18, 2009 Pours a caramel color with no head. This stuff is flatter than gwen stefani used to be. Aroma is caramel, faded oxidized hops, malt. Flavor is syrupy, caramel, faded hops, kind of port like. Pretty one dimensional but really interesting. Unlike beer more like wine. Can’t believe I paid $40 for this though, not worth the price.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with no head. Aroma of alcohol, sweet tarts, green apples, pear, and sherry. Taste is very sweet green apples and pear with notes of honey and warm alcohol. Medium full mouthfeel with no carbonation and warm but never hot alcohol. Very good.
