Apr 1, 2005 This is yet another brew to lay claim to being the world’s strongest ("La Plus Forte du Monde"). Appearance is simple: deep amber color with a large but quickly dissipating head. Aroma is simple: intense maltiness. Flavor is simple maltiness also, maybe some banana taffy to it. Alcohol shows through especially in the finish, but as usual the malt alcohol is still not as perceptible as the same degree of grain alcohol or wine alcohol. Drinkable but recommended mainly for the novelty - find a mix-and-match single if possible, as it’s up around $16 for 4 8oz bottles. Would be good for fresh raters who want to be able to forever distinguish the malty aspect of beer.

Mar 13, 2005 Updated: Mar 16, 2005Smells like burnt hops and rubber. First slug is almost undrinkable, very heavy concentration of sugars and alcohol. Not for the weak-hearted or operators of heavy machinery.

Mar 10, 2005 Updated: Dec 8, 2005Bottle at Kellys in Dunedin. Pours a translucent amber with a medium, off-white head. Aroma is very sweet, yeasty, grainy, banana, and a lot of alcohol. Taste is very swee too with grapes, bananas, some light maltiness. Finishes with big alcoho bitel. Medium to full bodied. Despite the dominant alcohol explosion I liked this one.

Mar 7, 2005 bottle said 15% so i guess it was an older version. quite drinkable and soft for such a high abv beer, but otherwise unremarkable. grapey, lemony, some slight alcohol burn but not too bad anyway.

Feb 22, 2005 This is dangerously drinkable! The 13% isn’t obvious as it is not nearly as harsh as say, the 11,6% Grolsch Het Kanon.
Yum!

Feb 20, 2005 Had this one at Falling Rock in Denver. Touts itself as having 13% ABV, but I simply didn’t taste it, much less feel it. Had a very sweet caramel tint to it, followed by a thick aftertaste. Not bad.

Feb 5, 2005 Pours a medium amber with no head. Aroma dominated by alcohol and a sweet breadiness. Flavor is mostly alcohol and sugar, with a bit of doughiness. I’m not a big fan.

Jan 30, 2005 Bottled from Peculiar Pub. I was surprised when I first tasted this beer. I was expecting an overmalted gimmick. What I got instead was a tasty beer with strong elements of orange peel and caramel. Pours a strong cloudy orange in color. Not bad at all. I need to find a few of these for home consumption.
