tupalev (2296), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jun 8, 2008 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Garthicus, and Blankboy, courtesy of Harry. Dark golden orange, small orange’ish white head. Strong sweet caramel aroma, some yeast and candy sugar. Taste is very very strong - caramel, sugar, intense alcohol. Way way way too much! I love the flavours but this simply overwhelms and is almost undrinkable because of the intenseness. Maybe with some age? Disappointing in this state.
BrotherGrendel (135), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Aug 19, 2008 Appearance is a cloudy dark amber hue, no head or lacing to be found. Aroma is sweet and boozy with a nice range of light fruits, sweet grain malts, yeast, bubblegum, and spices. Flavor falls a bit, initially syrupy sweet fruit syrup and bread malts on a thick layer of alcohol warming, opens up to bananas, tropical fruit, and bubblegum, finishes hot. Palate is full-bodied with a thick viscous texture and mild carbonation. A bit disappointing for FFF, the alcohol overwhelms most of the taste profile, overly sweet, lacking in balance.

Bottle poured into a pint glass produced next to no white head. All on top of a cloudy brownish orange body
Aromas of Belgian yeast (bananas, clove) and sweet malts filled my nose. You could tell this thing had some alcohol in it as well
This one was sweet for sure tons of sweet malts and candy sugar. A light spiciness and some alcohol warmth also are present very thick mouthfeel almost no carbonation at all
Drinkability on this, well face it is a sipper at 15% .I cracked this one open the day I made the Jerk recipe from the BA mag and I was glad I did. It really helps tame the heat from the Jerk sauce. I know I could not have handled more than this bomber myself. I did however thoroughly enjoy it
Ramenen (339), San Salvador, El Salvador Aug 9, 2008 Thanks to Juancho. I would call this a dessert beer. Drink it almost warm. Sweet aroma of pinata candy. Heavy bodied, syrupy, nice sweet maltiness, taste of bananas and caramel. Real Nice. ghawener (679), San Salvador, El Salvador Aug 9, 2008 At RateBeerians tasting session. Thanks to Menendez Brothers. Bottle: Strong gumblegum aroma that spills over into taste. For the style too sweet too adventurous. Linus_Stick (1521), Moon Township, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 8, 2008 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.
