Mar 9, 2009 Pours a sparkling clear, pale amber color with an average, white, creamy, pillowy head which is somewhat lasting and leaves several nice lace rings. Nose is faint, especially for the ABV; honeyed breads, noticeable alcohol, light floral, and yeast which is dusty, basement, and slightly estery with hints at some light overripe fruit. Flavor is similar but much more prominent; an instant kick of peaches and sugar cookies followed lots of yeast (lightly estery, doughy, basement), lots of spicy alcohol (fresh black pepper), maybe even some melon with a moderately light bitterness. Palate is nice with a medium to full body, lively carbonation, lots of alcohol warmth, and a creamy, prickly feel. Finishes average with peppery warmth and the malts mellowing to a nice sweet caramel, and a light bitterness. Some rather harsh ratings for this beer. It isn’t delicate by any means; it is bold with noticeable warmth, a nice palate, rich malt notes which develop by the finish, and just enough fruit, yeast, and bitterness to make it interesting. Lacking complexity for a beer this strong but certainly worth a try for the uniqueness.

Feb 24, 2009 Bottle @ Michael’s Genuine. Pours dark gold and clear with small tight white head. Fresh grain aromas are clean and belie the strength. Hints of honey and unroasted nuts. Nice level of carbonation and a smooth palate. Sweet and strong, almost hot but more of a fresh, baguetty flavor that is welcoming. I liked it!

Jan 27, 2009 Pours rather muddy brownish/yellow with minimal tan head. Nose is faint malt. Flavor is of slight yeasty spice, malt, and alcohol. Watery mouthfeel. This is a belgian strong?

Jan 25, 2009 If this is a blonde, then my last girlfriend certainly wasn’t. Pours a ruddy orange with a very thin head. Smells like a very fresh Samichlaus - sickly sweet malts, very ripe tropical fruits (esp. papaya) and booze. The flavor is downright bad. Watered-down (alcoholled-down?) macro beer with some sugary syrup added to try and mask it. This could be something a frat party whipped up to be efficient if only barely palatable. Hot, slightly metallic, and devoid of any interesting flavors. Yech. I do like the label, though (aside from the blatant advertisement of the ABV).

Jan 23, 2009 Aroma is light raisin, and a bit bready. Velvety texture, caramel malt, and a sweet yeastiness that lingers on the tongue. Not my thing.
