pours a cloudy golden with a darkish cream head. aroma is lemon and cloves with more lemon, iwonder how much corriander was used in this? tree bark taste with some over cooked dinner roll flavor. some fruit in the finish, but the alcohol covers it up and beats it to a pulp very quickly and efficiently. this is the antithesis of subtle. some pear notes and some yeast are also present. this is not an entirely pleasant experience. the flavors just are not to my liking.

tasted sweet with a little alcohal burn. It reminded me of a trappist style good but not the best - that’s for sure

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.

Smells 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.

Bottle 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.

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.

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!

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.
