15% version: Pours a lifeless copper with a thin off-white head. All I can say is pure alcohol. Has some malty complexity but it is so quickly burned off my tounge that I’m not even sure it’s there. This could learn a lesson from Dogfish Head.

Sort of an off orange color, a bit hazy, head didn't last but a minute or so, completely faded away. Aroma was a blast of alcohol, a bit of sweetness, and nothing else. The flavor was again alcohol based, and although it was full bodied and sweet, it simultaneously struck me as being a bit thin. A bite on the palate. A one dimensional beer.

Bottled. I had the 15% version. This was all alcohol. That's all I smelled and tasted. If there were any other flavors I couldn't taste them. Couldn't finish this one.

Thin, patchy head above a dark golden-copper. Caramel-sweet nose. Very smooth and thickish up front; carbonation livens up toward the finish and thins things out. Some "cheap" alcohol notes sprung up on me, along with some "hot" sensations. Malts were sweet (caramel, sugar). Hops were mildly spicy. Dryish finish. Some bitterness resides on the tongue in the aftertaste. Alcohol warms the throat. Overall, not very complex or interesting.

Deep gold to light amber in color,small white lacey head.Aroma is sweet and has huge alcohol notes,and not much else.Burn baby burn!Alcohol and nothing else here, not anywhere near balanced, I love a good high alcohol beer but this is a waste of perfectly good malt and yeast.

Gratuitous use of alcohol here??? Nothing special, stings almost, has an ok malt backbone. Lots of flavor, but Im not rating it that high in flavor because it is all due to the tremendous amount of alcohol. Has some flowery alcohol perfume notes that begin to taste like liquor rapidly. Complexity is lacking. Smells a rum raisin ice cream float with lots of rum and extra sugar in it. Is too carbonated as well.

This is definately a nightcap! Very alcoholic in both aroma, flavour and aftertaste. Well balanced for such a strong beer, both sweet and spicey. This goes for both the bottled and the canned version.

I can understand some people like this beer but I think that the alcohol level does not let you get the taste, it is too strong. By the way it looks it seems to be made for those guys that want to seem more MACHO MEN getting stoned. To rude, don´t try it.
