Jan 25, 2005 Bottled. Slightly cloudy amber colour and not much of a head.Caramelly, alcoholic aroma. Very sweet taste, very caramelly, and some molasses. Alcohol comes through. Maybe a tad too boring and too sweet. At first I wan´t sure wether this was a european strong lager or a strong ale.

Jan 23, 2005 Medium amber color, beige head, lasted longer than I thought it would. Toffee, caramel and lots of alcohol. Pretty sweet, pretty alcoholic. While the beer hides the alcohol fairly well, there is still quite a burn. Really not too bad, just very one dimensional and pretty overpowering.

Jan 22, 2005 A copper colored beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is strong with notes of alcohol, caramel, toffee, and malt. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of caramel and toffee, as well as lots of alcohol, that gives a lot of warmth in the mouth and throat, the end is dry and sticky.

Jan 18, 2005 Very malty, do not let this beer sit open too long, if it isn’t cold its almost unbearable to drink. Drink this onyl for the 15% otherwise keep moving. Just one of many dissapointing french beers.

Jan 16, 2005 This is largely just an exercise in being a novelty beer that clocked in at a hefty 15% (when I had it - I still have the bottle with giant numbers, practically bigger than the name that proudly trumpets how strong it is), without having to actually be a really good beer. It wasn’t complete swill, but if you’re going to go this route, you’re better off sticking to Dogfish Head’s 120 IPA or World Wide Stout, which are admittedly different styles, although they are all basically exercises in high alcohol levels for no other reason that because they can. Kind of like why dogs lick their balls. A strangely suiting analogy, actually.

Jan 15, 2005 Old English crossed with a sweet Belgian tripel was what crossed my mind after i first tried this beer. Potent, offensive, and never going to be sampled again by me.

Jan 12, 2005 Pours clear golden to light orange with a tight white head. Sweet / banana aroma with very apparent alcohol. Also very sweet and banana-like in the flavor. Moderately carbonated and effervesces to foam-like in your mouth when you move it around. Kind of a strange aftertaste. Interesting, but not real crazy about it.

Jan 9, 2005 A strong beer 13% but not the bad alcohol taste. It is a rather good strong beer.
