Shaftie (18), , Florida, USA Jul 14, 2008 13% Bottle, Aroma is malty with heavy alcohol presence. Pearl white head upheld via a honey colored brew. Decent body, very sweet, ABV isn’t well hidden. A sip beer to through and through...not bad. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Jul 13, 2008 Small bottle poured a golden body with a healthy thick cream colored head. Apple and floral candy-caramel boozy almond nose. Mild elderflower berry flavors. Hot, harsh, warming, faintly cloying finish. Not so quaffable. SudsMcDuff (1691), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA Jul 12, 2008 Sat July 11th 10:03 Death of BP .... Stranglely punching bag sweet ... hides the ABV quite well ... very good head for such a high alcohol level .. warms the belly ... ’i don’t give a crap about woodstock’ ... 1st brew from LS .. decent aroma .. an enjoyable beer that went down quite easily .. perpahs a little rough around the edges... johntreeter (121), Greenwood, Indiana, USA Jul 5, 2008 8.4oz. bottle from MO. Pours a deep blond with thin almost white head and nice lacing. Aroma of fruit, wine, and alcohol. Heavy sweet malt flavor with notes of fruits and alcohol. Metalic after taste and syrupy texture are slightly overwelming, but the warm alcohol feeling is nice in the end. Not a bad big beer, but nothing to write home about or save in the cellar. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 29, 2008 8.4 oz. bottle. Hazy, dark yellow color. Small, off white head. Good amount of lacing. Sweet malt aroma with a touch of warming alcohol. Thin mouthfeel. Very sweet, dark fruit flavor. Alcoholic finish that burns the throat. A bit too much for me. kiefdog (1534), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 15, 2008 24.8cl bottle from Total Wine (Tampa). Pours a clear, deep orange with an amber glow, frothy white head heavily laces glass and is retained throughout consumption. Smells mediciny with phenol in the nose and notes of pear and spice. Taste is initially sweet with a kick of white sweet wine that gives way to alcohol and honey with a lingering alcohol burn in the finish. We experienced the high alcohol content to be very noticeable and somewhat overpowering making it difficult to discern other flavors. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 12, 2008 25 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow to orange with a slowly collapsing off-white head. Dense malty aroma towards fruity. Flavour is mild yeasty which I assume provide the almost Belgian fruit esters to an alcohol dense and quite malt based beer. Solid warmth in the finish from the alcohol. Acknud (770), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Jun 5, 2008 Tastes like a barleywine. Pours murky brown. Aroma is sweet, malty. Taste is malty sweet with a good hppiness.
