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.

May 12, 2003 When you walk into a beer store and look for something new and see beer with a label that say 15% ABV on the foil surrounding the cap you just have to try it. It poured with a gold body and an off white heat theat is completely diminished. A sweet caramel maltiness in the aroma with alcohol. A flavor of sweet malt and a hint of caramel that is taken over by alcohol. Very warming. Not well balanced. How can you have a nicely balanced beer with 15% alcohol??

Aug 3, 2009 25 cl bottle, dated 28/07/08, bought 2007. Sweet grainy malt smell with lots of alcohol present. Brown in color, lots of bits of stirred up sediment settling in the glass, with some in the short head of foam. Taste is extra sweet, almost overly cloying, like rock candy floating in a martini. Some vanilla flavor, but too much liqueur as well. Worth trying as a nice alcoholic beverage, but not a great example of what a beer can be.

May 28, 2003 Bottled. Ginger-amber colour, rising fine gas but not sustaining a head. Sweet malt aroma drowned out by ethanol. You’ve got to try to pick the flavours between the sweet and the burn. Course burnt palate with a long sweet tail. The moral is, if your going to be this big, be subtle about it...this isn't.

Nov 1, 2005 Devil’s Night At Mullman’s. Clear yellow color with a small white head. Awful aroma that reminded me of rotten concorde grapes that were sprayed by a passing skunk. Thankfully the beer didn’t taste like that. Strong alcohol flavor with lots of sweet malt. Very cloying.

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.

Apr 1, 2005 This is yet another brew to lay claim to being the world’s strongest ("La Plus Forte du Monde"). Appearance is simple: deep amber color with a large but quickly dissipating head. Aroma is simple: intense maltiness. Flavor is simple maltiness also, maybe some banana taffy to it. Alcohol shows through especially in the finish, but as usual the malt alcohol is still not as perceptible as the same degree of grain alcohol or wine alcohol. Drinkable but recommended mainly for the novelty - find a mix-and-match single if possible, as it’s up around $16 for 4 8oz bottles. Would be good for fresh raters who want to be able to forever distinguish the malty aspect of beer.
