Blah. Drain pour. This is awful. Aroma was great...I’ll give it that. Banana bread, bubble gum and yeast. That’s where it stops. I gagged after sipping this. Strong bubble gum, alcohol and sweet malt. My esophagus closed up after my second sip. Truly terrible.

Thanks to stall for this sample. Not sure what it looked liked as we schwilled this right from the bottle in a parking lot before a concert! Gummy aroma. Very sweet fruity flavor with a big alcoholic bite

This stuff will knock you on your a$$. As the description says, it is extremely complex. A very overpowering taste with the great FFF feel. A ton of tastes going on. For me, its a touch too strong, borderline difficult to drink.

Bottle shared by someone at the ratebeer table at BCTC. Thanks! Pours orange amber with no head. Nose is very sweet with oranges, peaches, caramel malt, and a bit of hops. Flavor is also very sweet with some astringent citrus hops, and some syrupy caramel malt. Way too sweet and still a bit hot.

Pours hazy orange with thin off white head. Aroma of alcohol, toffee, and sugar. Taste is caramel, dark fruits, and toffee. Medium mouthfeel with nice alcohol burn in the finish. Way too easy drinking for 13%. Another great beer by an outstanding brewery.

Bottle pours hazy orange with a thin white head. Sweet floral aroma, malty, pear/apple. Intense sweet flavors of light fruits, pine, malts, clove, and caramel. Overwhelms the palate with greatness. probably a bit sweet for a Belgian, but still a great beer.

I have had this beer several times. You really need to get a few guys togeither and just sip it out of 8 oz glasses. It pours rather thick. The smell is sweet with apricot and babana and clove. The taste is very seet and full. Overall probably my favorite beer right now.

Orange-copper in colour, thin but lasting off-white coloured head, light patchy lacing. The aroma was of nail polish remover, caramel sweetness, some toffee and alcohol. The flavour was creamy, alcoholic, very sweet, floral, syrupy. Alcoholic mouthfeel, medium body, mild carbonation. Finishes very sweet with a huge alcohol punch.

This is just crazy. There is so much alcohol in this that it just takes over everything. It will need a lot of time to mellow out this.

650ml bottle shared by beerhugger, thanks Steve.
