Lighty fruity yeast aroma. Some dark fruits. Body is overly heavy. Yeast and bananna flavor with whopping alcohol

Pours with a great, deep red color. Very little head. Peach, grape wine and vanilla in the aroma. The alcohol is well masked. The flavor has slight alcohol and caramel. The malt really comes through. Nice full body. I wouldn't want to drink a lot, though. Flavors were mostly subtle.

Hazy, golden ale with huge floaties. Looks like orange pulp. I really hope these are supposed to be floating in here. The aroma is of fuzzy fruit, smoke and alcohol. As it warms, some nice, aromatic notes of butterscotch and fruitcake appear. Big alcohol in the flavor... going in and going down. Also, some very nice, malty sweet notes. Fruity flavor. Balanced by the alcohol and hops. Full-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Lengthy, bitter, alcoholic finish.

crystal clear golden body, foamy white head. Saltyt nose with some corn, dry stale malts and alcohol. initially smooth and sweet, follows with an intensely warm alcohol dominated finish. WOW, warm and strong, and real dry. some sweetness and caramel emerge later on. impressively... not well balanced!

Harsh alcohol that doesn't leave much space for flavor & aroma. This is a bit disappointing because you can feel some interesting things in this beer. The first sip will be your trial and if you accept its flaws, you might end up having an OK time with this one.

Nice glowing copper orange colour, but that's where the compliments end. Alcoholic sweet malt aroma with some charred wood notes. After that its just alcohol and sugary sweetness. The alcohol burn as it goes down is giving me indigestion, just like a cheap rum. Leaves a syrupy coating in the mouth. You can't argue with the commercial description, but it's just not very pleasant. Bottled (250ml)

15% version. I must admit, at the time I bought this, it was the highest ABV beer I'd had, that was my motivation. I was assulted by the rubbing alcohol aroma right off the bat. It went downhill from there. Tasted of rotting fruit, alcohol, grapes, prunes, cough syrup. I split a bottle with a friend, but just barely. I wouldn't have finished it on my own. This was a couple years ago, so I may try it again to see how it fares now.

Bottle. Pours thick and orangey-amber with a minimal white head. Aroma is almost mediciney, sweet with lots of alcohol present. Flavor is rich, sweet with tart overtones and definite alcohol warming - reminicient of brandy. Full body, no carbonation.
