Jun 2, 2008 750ml Bottle: Very sweet aroma. Smells vinous, with notes of candi sugar, honey, apricot, and some spices. Poured amber in color with a small, off-white head. Clear. Sparkling. Full of large particles. Flavor is very sweet. Tastes of honey, sugar, berries, and alcohol. Medium body. Average texture. Average to lively carbonation. Sweet finish. Way too sweet. Like drinking Manichevitz.

Jun 2, 2008 750 via shadey... pours a hard to describe coppery apricot color. it’s cloudy with yeasties floating in it and topped by an airy whitish head. champagne-like yeasty aroma combines with spices, earth and sparkling apple cider sweetness. a bit sweet on the palate. the anise is noticeable and gives it an apple cider-like flavor. also, orange, flowers, spice and spicy alcohol and oxidized red apples noted. dry yeasty aftertaste with more apples. medium body seems to get thicker as the yeast combines with it. airy light mouth feel due to huge bubbles.

May 25, 2008 nice use of spice not over done but lacking depth and structure in flavor. Malay and carbonated. Something strange in the finish. Better finish up cuz I’m being rude.

May 20, 2008 Original bottle from TAR, loved it. Now have receieved in numerous other trades. Thanks to all. Golden orange, small white head, spotty lacing. Aroma is all over. Candied fruits, some spicy-sweet corriander, hints of banana and bubblegum. Flavor is dominated by candied fruits, especially orange and banana, residuel malt sweetness underneath. Faint bubblegum, little hot in the finish. Had this at a 4.4 from notes, this bottle lacks carbonation, hurts the score a bit.

May 18, 2008 Bottle acquired via trade from jjpm74...THANKS John!!! Really enjoyed this one. Hazy honey-colored brew with a pale yellow head. Very spicy aroma...and the citrus and star anise come through. The coriander isn’t as overpowering as it was in AleSmith’s Horny Devil, and instead enhanced the flavor profile. 9.5% ABV well hidden...would definitely recommend.
