kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUN 15, 2008
24.8cl bottle from Total Wine (Tampa). Pours a clear, deep orange with an amber glow, frothy white head heavily laces glass and is retained throughout consumption. Smells mediciny with phenol in the nose and notes of pear and spice. Taste is initially sweet with a kick of white sweet wine that gives way to alcohol and honey with a lingering alcohol burn in the finish. We experienced the high alcohol content to be very noticeable and somewhat overpowering making it difficult to discern other flavors.

Very nice amber color, didn’t keep a head real good, very alcoholic flavor, very strong taste, felt almost like taking a shot of whiskey, don’t drive after having ONE of these!

Lumpy (1802) - Carrollton, Texas, USA - APR 19, 2005
Bottle. Nose-smells like a bad Chimay Blue-very fruity and rotten. Shar astringent turpentine like taste. Burns going down. Has an after taste that reminds me of spoiled fruit juice.

jaghana (1802) - Strasbourg (France), FRANCE - JUL 31, 2010
Bottle 33cl. An amber and very syrupy ale. Smell is on caramel and alcohol. No real interesting aroma, quite disgusting at the end, too alcoholoc, too sweet, nothing behind. Just to taste no more.

YourDarkLord (1800) - Urbana, Illinois, USA - JUN 20, 2004
Pours a cloudy amber with a weak beige head. Aroma was of sherry, malt, hops. Not very inviting. Medium body. Flavor was potent. Strong alcohol. Like drinking whiskey.

tgncc (1796) - Bellmore, New York, USA - JUL 2, 2009
Attractive looking beverage, orange/red, hazy, strong white head, dissipating relatively quickly. Aroma is sweet, candy sugar, grains, vanilla, alcohol. The flavor is surprising, sweet, fruity, sugary, vanilla extract. The alcohol is not as in your face as I might have thought. It definitely comes through though. The finish is sugary, with a wallop of alcohol warming the mouth and throat afterwards. Medium/thick to thick mouthfeel. Interesting. No way worth the money it costs, though.

Defreni (1778) - Husum, DENMARK - JAN 29, 2011
Flaske: Orange klar øl uden synderlig karbonering. En ordentlig røvfuld bundfald skal man passe på. Duften er kortvarig barleywine med en god del malt, men går hurtig over i alkohol. Smagen er igen ret rå alkohol med en god del restsødme. Igen mangler karboneringen til at udligne alkoholen.

jerohen (1775) - Bussum, NETHERLANDS - JUL 23, 2002
Strong taste with definite alcohol presence. Not a beer to start the evening with. Tastes like Grolsch Kanon.
