For a high alcohol beer it sure has a great taste. This beer is packed with tons of flavour with a sweet taste and smell of raisins.

Not as good as Celebrator but not bad by any means. Dark brown color with quickly diminishing head. Extremely well balanced. This is an extremely dangerous beer at 7.2%. Very enjoyable with it’s malty and balanced flavor.

Very well-hidden alcohol content; a surprisingly easy drinker for such a strong brew. Lots of malt and a little fruit flavor.

Not my normal beer fair however outstanding flavor that hides the high alcohol well. Be careful with this stuff it will sneak up on you if you have more than one. I did not even realize the high content until I had three of them. Then I went wow. I got it on tap at the Berlin Cafe in DC

From bottle. Aroma is malty and bready with a touch of berries. Flavor is more malt and bread, with more of those sugary berries on the initial attack. Good carbonation and body. Hides its alcohol well. A decent beer.

Poured from bottle a brown color with medium sized tan head. Aroma is of sweet malt and bread. Flavor is very malty with a brown sugar sweetness, toffee, a little nuttiness, and bread. Palate start s bit sticky sweet and then mellows out slightly with a very big malty feel and nice carbonation. Normally I might think this beer is too sweet, but this day it seem to flow just right with the spicy, cheese barbeque food I was having. It was quite nice.

Wow! This is amazing. The flavor realy blew me away. Just a great full bodied beer if I’m not in the mood for hops....which is very rare.
