Wow! Alcohol kicks you in the face upon the first sip. Rather sweet and syrupy. Warming all the way down with maybe a touch of currants. Almost flat when it comes to carbonation.

Very clear, dark honey-amber coloured; slim white rim. Quite sweet and caramelly nose, alcohol only comes in at the end. Nose is very fleeting, poorly developed. Sweet, nutty taste, caramel-covered cookies with nuts, something like a liquid Milky-Way bar, but inarguably finer – with an incense-like flavour. There’s alcohol in the taste – no doubt, but it’s especially the MF that gets a numbing shock… Slick, oily and burning. Alcohol disguises the body fullness. Long syrupy aftertaste. It’s still a sipping beer, but I have the strange impression it’s more refined than the 15% original – if that one really attained this value in the bottle as on paper.

Tasted the 13% version. Head almost non-existent, white and very low, but leaving some traces on my glass. Red-brown body. I was afraid it would taste alcoholic, but it was not the case. It’s a strong beer, and not one I’d drink in the morning (it got me almodt drunk). What I noticed most is the aroma : dark chocolate and roated nuts. An original experience indeed.

Pale gold, clear and with a white head that fades fast. Sweet grain and malt nose with some alcohol noticable. Heavey in the mouth with sweetness throughout and a lingering finish inwhich the alcohol becomes noticeable. Malty with some alcohol but in the end not a lot of descirnable flavors. Not bad though to help warm one up!

Bottle #666 (On Halloween no less) pours a fairly clear pale golden, medium foamy white head, lively carbonation, with spotty lacing.   Fairly strong grainy aroma, along witih alcohol.   Slightly grainy on first sip, but amazingly smooth for 13%.   Fairly malty as well.   Good body, slightly syrupy mouthfeel.   Finishes sweet, corn syrup sweet, with some malts and a touch of alcohol.   Nothing amazing or complex, but for 13% it seems rather palatable.

Thin head of quickly reducing foam. Light carbonation. Acidic aroma of tomatoes. As it warms, caramel and alcohol become more prominent. Full, meaty aroma. Color is a slightly cloudy dark amber. Big time sweetness in the flavor. Brown sugar and caramel. Bit of smoke and alcohol. Big aclohol warming and tingle as it goes down. Somewhat of a gimmick beer but interesting. Not one that I would probably try again though.
