Bottle. 2002 vintage. Better as it warms up. Alcohol taste very present, but not super sharp or bad. Just defintiely present. A tasty beer, but I’d never pay $14 for a 6-pack again. I’d pay 10 though.

(Bottled, 2004 vintage@Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Very hazy, red-orange color with a small head. Strong candy/bubblegum aroma with alcohol hints. Sweet, caramely, slightly roasty, malty flavor. Quite sweet, scotch ale and barley wine -like, but not unpleasantly so. Will probably get better with maturing. Very nice!

Hazy reddish brown, low white head. Fruity aroma of apricot, pear, hops, yeast, sweet licorice and alcohol. Heavy and fruity flavour of yellow fruit, yeast and sweet licorice. Long aftertaste of pear, yeast and hops. Quite good!

Batch #3-Oct-2000Hazy copper in color with a small dense head which leaves a thin creamy layer. Slightly vinous aroma yet overall weak. Some fruit overtones, pretty mild.Enormously creamy palate and medium bodied. Flavor is also mild. Dry finish, very faint malt and fruit.

Smooth, yet robust. The tonnes of alochol are consumed in a lathery creamy head. One of the best beers I’ve ever had.

Calandro’s Supermarket, Baton Rouge, La. - 375 ml bottle. Pours a murky, light copper with a creamy, thin, slighlty off-white head. Sweet, malty aroma, reminiscent of molasses and port wine. Flavor has a bit of a port like essence, some raisins, faint notes of chocolate, but not as complex as I had hoped. Slighltly spritzy, and not as thick as I would have liked. Overall decent, but missing something.

Batch no. 4-Oct/2002. Clear amber with a medium off-white head and a bunch floating yeast chunks. Aroma of light fruitiness and a hint of caramel. Flavor has notes of white wine grapes, pear, caramel, sweet malt and toffee. Moderate bitterness. Medium body, subtle carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Overall ok, but I was expecting more.
