Sampled at the Yeha. Poured black with a light brown head. Aroma of cherries, chocolate and strong alcohol. Taste is very strong and sweet... chocolate, cherries, tons of alcohol. Burns going down. Unbalanced, but nice as only DFH can.

Black color with no head. It took a while to pin down the aroma, but I finally figured it out: cheap and poorly made sake. Jet fuel. The taste was slightly sour malt and fairly bitter, with what seemed to be an oddly high amount of rice. Tasted a little like burning. Gross.

A very powerful very flavorful beer that belies expectations one places on a beer touted to be among the most potent in the world. I’d love to find a place that has this on tap for my next birthday.

Bourbon and rtoasty on the nose, defininatly alcohol on the nose,black as night and not much head. Big coffee,bourbon, and high sweetness with like alcohol burn but nice. Needs a little more balance.

Jet black pour small brown head show a decent lace and nice legs on the glass Big strong aroma huge roasted malts and toffee plums raisens prevelant alcohol and some weak chocolates Palate bites your tongue, full and creamy some carb and a hot feel Flavor is dark fruits plums and raisens lots of alcohol, some dry chocolate w/ an unidentifiable grain (barley is my guess though), then some more maltiness. This beer is just over the top but still good stuff Thank for the trade

This was the first giant beers I ever had and still one of my favorites. Poured black with a minimal tan head. Roasted chocolatey aroma, sweet and vinous. Flavor is sweet with chocolate, roasted malt, dark fruit, alcohol but not as much as you would think. That is what makes it so good that it is pretty damn drinkable and one beer and you are good to go. Full bodied mouthfeel.
