Thanks to drewbeerme for the bottle. Pour is a dark gold/ copper color with a small white head that dissapears quickly. Aroma is sweet fruits and malt...bannana and bubblegum. Flavor is all sweet too...don’t detect much alcohol, but this is almost cloying. Medium bodied. Drinkable, but I think I have had enough.

Bottle courtesy of dough77 pours amber red with no head. Very sweet. Much like Avery Grand Cru. Needs some age.

Courtesy jay mother fucking g! Pours a semi clear orange with hints of red, with a small white head. Smells extremely malty, alot of caramel, vanilla, and some oak in there too. The alcohol certainly was noticeable in the nose as this is a monster of a brew. The flavor was considerably sweet, alot of syrupy malts, caramel, and vanilla in the taste. Pretty Belgian tasting and very sweet. The finish had some bitter bready yeats characters mixed in with the caramel. Some hops were detectable as well. Pretty good, intense brew.

Mostly clear light copper color with a sparse, light tan head. Banana phenols and alcohol, spice on the aroma. Strong sweet alcoholic apricot flavor, with some Belgian yeast characters. Finish was fruity and warming. The strength overpowers a lot of the Belgian characters, but this still was enjoyable.

Bottle. Reddish maple syrup pour with a scant head. Caramel, vanilla, spices and bubblegum in the aroma. Very thick body and deceptively smooth for ABV. Banana, and over ripe fruit in the flavor. Interesting, and hugely over priced.

jeeezuss this one is big!!! lots of malt thrown into this bad boy to give us that wopping abv... sweet rock candy nose with white grapes and banana crisp spices. slice of orange peel parts the backbone with ultra sweet departures. warm embers of alcohol flow down the esophagus...but not nearly as much as you would think for such a huge beer. my girlfriend said it smelled like nail polish remover. solid and sipable.
