Sep 24, 2006 Huge sweet/alcohol nose....this should be interesting! Wow! What an overpowering brew...big sugar rush upfront...followed by an intense, take-no-prisoners ABV in the backend. Wildly over the top on all levels...but that’s Avery, right?!? Needs to mellow out for about...???

Sep 22, 2006 Deep amber, with almost no head (even with an agressive pour). Rich aroma of fruit, flowers and alcohol. Sweet and heavy, with less alcohol in the taste than in the aroma.

Sep 21, 2006 Bottle. Pours hazy red-orange with lots of bubbles and a small off-white head. The aroma is peach, plum, and various other fruits, with hints of smoke and alcohol and dust. The flavor has a lot of caramel and fruit with some pine. The alcohol is evident. As it gets to room temperature, it gets very sweet... too sweet, really. Still not bad.

Sep 11, 2006 Bottle. Pours amber with a very thin beige head. Aroma is strong sweet malts, caramel, lots of oak, and alcohol. Flavor is oak, dark fruit, and sweet caramel with a strong warming sensation due to the alcohol. Almost feels like it’s melting in your mouth.

Sep 9, 2006 Bottle pours a slightly hazy, light redish amber witha small fleeting white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel and brown sugar. Some plums, cinnimon and apple butter and a hint of maple. Some fuming alcohol is evident as well. Flavor is very sweet, almost syrupy. Carmel and brown sugar again. ABV is there, and a major player but I don’t think overpowering. In fact I would not have guess quite so high. Lacking real bitterness, and I suppose a bit unbalanced in that regard. Leaves a sweet sticky coating after the sip, similar to how the Mephistopheles does. Full, smooth pallete and soft carbonationAvery just likes to make these Huge beers. This is not bad. Glad I could share it though, thanks to BuckeyeBoy

Sep 8, 2006 very little head. alcohol and malt aromas dominate. extremely malty flavors. much too sweet. alcohol is not well balanced..too much alcohol flavor to enjoy the underlying flavors.
