does not count  Mar 3, 2008 Nearly a barley wine in richness and alcohol content. Yummy malt, cloves and molasses with the breath of aged bourbon. Wonderful to drink, but also great to cook with. I made booster cupcakes with booster bananas foster. Also, a marinade/sauce for salmon.

Dec 6, 2007 GABF. Another good Rocket beer at the fest. Sweet and fruity hops on the flavor and the aromas. More malty on the finish. Some alcohol. Very good.

Nov 26, 2007 Lots of alcohol with some mild phenols present. Ripe fruit and brown sugar up front leading to mild astringency and alcoholic heat. Muddled hot finish.
