Feb 16, 2009 Bottle via DocLock.
Lots of pressure in there, cork is soaked top to bottom when I remove the cap and the beer spits and fizzles away when I release the pressure with a two-tined opener (can’t actually get the cork out that way; this requires a corkscrew.)
Slightly sweet, molassy beer with a huge foamy head, some spices and a rye-like flavor, resembling nothing so much as someone’s bad high-gravity, low hop homebrew. I simply couldn’t bring myself to drink it, but fortunately there’s a Bigfoot ’09 on deck. I’m disappointed with this one, because I had (perhaps irrationally) high hopes for it.

Oct 20, 2008 As cold as I got this one it still gushed a little. I liked the richness and spice of this. The body was really nice and had nice head retention and quite a bit of carbonation but was not too much. Very sweet and malty almost a touch of maolasses. Saison type spice for me but a little more bite at the end like rye or clove. Very good.
