Oct 11, 2008 ruby grapefruit colored murky pour with a few white bubbles. Sea water, fishy, sweet caramel aroma. Sweet licorice, piney, alcohol mess. By far the worst Avery I’ve had.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours reddish with a sweet, bourbon, oak, vanilla nose. Flavor is very sweet with lots of fruits, butterscotch, caramel, smokiness like a whiskey, and lots of alcohol in the finish. Light carbonation and a mouthfeel almost like a spirit.

Oct 7, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Sweet, sweet nose. The barrel definitely shows through. Sweet on the tongue as well, but the finish is unexpected and awesome and something and something. Lots of alcohol. Overall, I’m a little frightened,

Oct 4, 2008 Sampled at EBF08.
Deep amber with yeast particles.
Sweet and malty aroma with clear oak-notes.
Loads of sweet, tropical fruits in the flavour.

Oct 3, 2008 12 oz bottle that I purchased six months ago and paid an arm and a leg for (well, not really but $7 is a lot to me for one beer). The color is a really nice cloudy orange with a small 2 cm off-white head. The smell is of hi-octane alcohol and not much else; as Papa Burgundy would say “stings the nostrils”. The taste is very close to whiskey with a little sweetness. This is not quite as bad as Mephistopheles but it isn’t great. This really isn’t a beer to me but more an after-dinner liqueur like a cognac or bourbon. This is way too big for me and not recommended unless you like liquor-beers. The only reason I cracked this was because I spent four hours in traffic due to a blizzard and my belly needed warming. This beer is good for that.

Sep 25, 2008 Reddish copper in color with a medium sized off-white head that vanishes. Aroma is of raisins, strong alcohol, molasses, brown sugar and oak. Flavor is the same with caramel, toffee and a strong alcohol warmth.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle SB&WF-08 - Clear dark reddish amber colored beer with a thin orange beige head. Caramel dominates the aroma and blends real well with hints of coconuts, port, oak wood, dark berries and spices. Flavor is very sweet and caramel like with strong vinous notes and spices. Hints of vanilla and oak is also found here. Very full bodied and highly drinkable. A must!

Sep 15, 2008 Copper colour no head. The aroma is of dark fruit and alcohol + some oak. The flavor is of dark fruit such as prunes, oak and alcohol - complex beer.
