Apr 13, 2002 Not really as bad as some have said, but certainly not great. Very sweet malt flavor, wine/whiskey/caramel nose and strong alcohol flavor in the finish. Warming and fairly smooth aftertaste, but too sweet and too high in ABV. This is probably a style that should just give up.

May 2, 2003 No subtle alcohol flavor here- one sip and I knew what I was in for. This brought back some memories of Monster Ale - and helped my friend create whole new ones.

Aug 20, 2005 Bottle: Orange hued golden, quite clear, small sudsy off-white head, falls quickly, sparce lacing, soft carbonation. Thick chewy nose, raisiny, fig, all in a dark and heavy sense. However, seems somewhat only bready on the tongue, with a slight alcohol trailer. Moderately sweet, nearing the cloying factor, but is rather palatable. Not as flavorful as I’d hoped. Moderate body, medium to full mouthfeel. Fairly clean finish, just not complex or flavorful enough.

Jan 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours apple juice colored w/ a thin white head. Aroma is, oddly, scotch whisky. Taste is all kinds of malty, toffee, raisin, caramel, et cetera, et cetera. No hops to speak of. A little on the overly sweet side, but still good.

Feb 13, 2009 bottle. Copper pour, with a small white head. Slightly sweet fruity aroma. Sweet flavor as well, a little boozy as well. Pretty good.
