chimplechamp (463), Oslo, Norway May 5, 2008 bottle at paisley beer fest- nose is malt, and alcohol. lots of alcohol, taste is root beer, sweet. very sweet. too sweet. far too sweet. and too much alcohol. georgekappus (296), Brookfield, Connecticut, USA Apr 14, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber color with no head. Very faint apple aroma. Strong alcohol flavor, apples, rock candy. Slight bubbly almost like an alcoholic sparkling cider. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 11, 2008 Poured an almost clear copper color with an off-white head. Some caramel, some fruit, some yeasty notes and light alcohol. Fruity sweet malt with a hint of tartness and some alcohol flavor on the finish. lb4lb (2011), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 11, 2008 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks
Pours a clear golden color with no lasting head. Smell is all alcoholic malt. Very alcoholic in fact. Taste is alcohol, and sweet thin maltiness. Fizzy boddy, and still somehow not too difficult to drink despite the high ABV. A bit warming going down. Okay, but not something I want again. ScottB (73), Bristow, Virginia, USA Apr 3, 2008 Pours a brownish-gold with a thin white head. This is a poor, overly-wrought interpretation of a Belgian Strong. The fruit esters are present, but this beer is almost cloyingly sweet. The alcohol almost takes my breath away. Sadly lacking in subtlety and elegance. ILoveNewBeer (113), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Mar 23, 2008 Not too strong of a flavor in this beer although it does have a good taste to it. It doesn’t have the alcohol flavor that Miller Lite does yet you can feel the alcohol after one, needless to say with 13%. Davinci (295), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 22, 2008 Bottle at "bar international beer" in barcelona. thinnish yellow orange pour with small white head. nice lacing. Aroma is subtle malt and grassy hops. flavor is big spicey malt and apparent alcohol. definite esters and fusel alcohol. Palate is pretty creamy, somewhat sticky. Pepper and sweet spice finish this big boy off. nothing spectacular, but pretty good. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 28, 2008 This is a super knockout punch! Very stong maltiness aroma. Appearance is a dark amber. Intense flavor, very malty. It could be considered a bit bitter, otherwise a brilliant strong ale.
