| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 23, 2003 After 2 years the aroma's lost some of its alcoholic notes, mostly malty now. The malty flavor's still plenty hot though. Finish is malty and alcoholic, like a young barleywine. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 19, 2003 An extremely unbalanced ale. Flavor is reminsicent of a bock, but has a terrible alchohol burn in the aftertaste and is very hard to drink. Frank (1066), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 6, 2003 Scent is surprisingly mild but the taste is powerful and evil. Intense alcohol with a bit of spice and perfume. Imagine drinking Old Spice...
Still, I can't help but like it just a little. With each sip, I care less and less about things like flavor and palate and more about sucking down as much alcohol as possible. joeycapps (1466), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2003 15% version. Bright orange-copper w/ fine, streaming bubbles. Creamy, tan head. Sweet, brandy-ish aroma of dark dried fruit (raisins, dates), candied pears, some caramel, & alcohol. Soft, creamy feel. Very, very sweet brandy flavour w/ a light creaminess, some spiciness & fruitiness. Intense alcohol flavour in the finish, leaving the tongue slightly numb. aceofhearts (1375), San Francisco, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2003 Bottle. A French B-wine? Uhhh? Amber, minimal head. Very thick mouthfeel that seems to neutralize the perfumey aroma. Malty texture/flavor, some neutral fruits (pears, apples). Andrew196 (1091), Katy, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 26, 2003 Wow! 13%! The beer carried it really well too. Aroma of spicy vegetable, celery. Purely orange in color with sediment and little head. Flavor was interesting, very rich, citric. Finish was malty sweet. Pretty good. mdi (573), Nebraska, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 5, 2003 BBD: 28.02.04 13%ABV
App: Foams out of the bottle. Pours crystal clear(not bottle conditioned?!) copper w/just a ring of foam at edges of glass
Aro: not too complex: deep carmel malt. Just layer upon layer of sweetness twinged with a bit of raison. Alcohol.
Pal: medium body. Hot alcohol @ back of throat.
Flav: Maybe a bit oxidized...but this thing is sweet malt and hot alcohol. The only way I can drink this is like a martini(little sips), otherwise the alcohol fries me.
Over: Too sweet and too much alc. I like big strong beers, but this doesn't hold a candle to an Abt 12, Imperial Stout, or Barley wine. steview (901), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2003 Updated: Dec 28, 2003strange, vanilla spice. a bloody stabbing dagger rather than an actual aroma. the alcohol probably murdered the head. actually tastes... alright. go ahead, finish yourself!
