DuffMan (1891), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Jul 1, 2008 Ginormous 1.18L clear bottle, bought as a joke while camping this weekend. Abysmal aroma of alcohol and sweet-rot stench. Sweet corn with a harsh petroleum-esque element and a hot isopropyl alcoholic burn to put the palate to death. Do not leave the bottle near the fire-- it may explode. Unholy_Brewing (260), Melbourne, Australia Mar 28, 2008 ...hhhahaa, in the ghetto my nigger! Anyway, this is shit used only to get drunk when you are like 16, or a nigger in the ghetto. swanvally666 (14), Swan Valley, Alberta, Canada Feb 14, 2008 This is a classy beer. Drink this before a job interview for confidence and I guarantee the job is yours. GreenWall (36), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Feb 12, 2008 corny, peppery-fuselly, cidery orchard-fruit aroma. alcoholic. cideriness increases with temperature. no perceivable hop aroma.
brilliantly clear, golden-yellow, swiftly-disappearing fine white head.
flavour dominated by cidery flavours. opens up to a grainy, dms-laden adjunct flavour. insufficient bittering to carry the alcohol. light, dry, slick mouthfeel. gets foul and chemically in the finish - the fusels and the acetylaldehyde create a nasty flavour as it ends. If I were a 14-yr-old on the street, this would be my choice.
UPDATE: As it warmed (it’s now the serving temperature for real beer) it ended up getting unbearably fuselly and harsh, which with the acetyl flavours was just thin and vile. MrManning (1423), London, Ontario, Canada Feb 3, 2008 This bad boy was the final in a personal colt tasting I treated myself last week. Thanks to Joe for providing this so that I might come full circle. Pours a deeper orangey gold. Head is short lived and is a clear sign of the adjuncts used. Fruity aroma is unpleasant. Like rancid orange peels. Fuesels are here with creamed corn and stale malts. Oily, orangey nastiness with malty off flavours reminding me of what I would expect paper to taste like. It’s only 1% higher than the 7%, and far more offensive. Thanks Joe, but no thanks!
