Golden and clear with minimal head. Corny grassy aroma. Lots of malt, a touch of grain and a little alcohol. Decent for a malt liquor.

Corn, banana, alcohol and grain in the nose. Clear golden body is topped by a decent white head that lasts and laces well. Very sweet flavour shows off plenty of corn, some wacky fruity esters and some alcohol. Grainy in the aftertaste. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Sure it`s well made. Still don`t really care for it though. Bottle sampled with BeerPrince, CapFlu and Oakes.

Slow carbo, gold colour, thin head. Big alcohol on the nose, with some slight crystal malt chewiness and plenty of creamed corn. Full body. Noticeable hop crispness. More chewy maltiness. Everything in balance, and it still retains that kick-you-in-the-nuts character a malt liquor needs to have. A rating to style would be in the high 4s. As it is, this is a remarkably high quality forty.

Dark gold. Starts with a good head and maintains a nice white film. Aroma starts out like high alcohol fuel and then indeed a banana scent comes out. As it sits more of a dirty fuel scent is common with hints of the banana. Relatively full bodied and at least when cool drinkable. Tastes like high alcohol, grain and banana traces. Alcohol burns the ears. Even as it warms it is drinkable. Not a great beer but a great malt liquor, easily my highest rated.

Insanely good malt liquor, im a black bull man but i have to admit that this 40 blows black bull out of the water, you cannot even taste the 9% and its very cheap even compared to other malt liquors, pound for pound this is about as good as beer can get, im proud to say that this is brewed in my home town
