Jul 2, 2007 Updated: Feb 15, 2008Beer 13 of Bartzilla’s Death Metal Beer Tasting 6/30/07. Shared with Bartzilla, Naven, BikesandBeer and others. Via trade with Batkins. Bartzilla said it pretty damn well this is a fucking crazy beer. 1.5L bottle after a really sour batch 58 of regular Adam. Pours dark brown witha bubbly head. Aroma is sweet and strong. The taste is amazing and hard to describe. Bryan PH Pinhead said it "tastes like a tootsie roll soaked in Kahlua." This was so so so amazingly good, and really tastes stronger than 10% a big sipper and fucking great to share.

Aug 14, 2008 RBSG ’08. Derek (DA) graciously opened this 1.5L beast for the Ratebeer Grand Tasting at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Thank you so much for this! I’ve wanted to try this elusive rarity for so long. The beer’s age is apparent, with a very still and slick pour that coats the snifter. Burgundy color, like brandy. Low carbonation, just a few beige bubbles on the surface. Nose is absolutely killer. Smacked with oak wood, musty cellar, bourbon and molasses; all of this wrapped up in caramel and brown sugar. Smooth and mellow profile; elegant flavors of toffee, leather and caramel, with more wood and a bit of a tobacco tone. Warming bourbon palate with a lasting barrel flavor. Medium bodied. I just love these big, saucy barrel-aged types. Wow!

Aug 3, 2008 Tasted from bottle at RBSG. FINALLY! I’ve seen this empty bottle at WeeHeavySD’s place several times, and ogled the raves and reviews in the ratings. I love these sweet HotD barleywines. Wow. Through the roof smokey oaky aroma. HotD rocks the aroma. Sweet and delicious. Brown color. Lowish carbonation.

Dec 20, 2004 Thanks to CaptainCougar for sharing and to hopsrus for the hand bottling. Murky dark brown body, no head. EXCELLENT aroma of bourbon wood, vanilla, brown sugar, raisin. Taste is a vinous bourbon, chocolate, and charcoaled wood. Soft palate. Good stuff!
