Pretty forgetful. This is my 2nd or 3rd time with Heavyweight and they just haven’t done much for me. I know they’re out of business for the most part. Wasn’t sure what to make out of this beer. A Belgian Strong? The beer poured out an amberish-red color with a medium sized head. First whiffs and all I got was malt, sour malt in fact. Yeast also shows up with a bit of tobacco notes. Flavors was like a plum extract or rotted plums..I don’t know which. Alcohol and spices are also very prominent. Seemed like a dubbel somehow. A bad dubbel. Anyways, not tasty at all.

May 31, 2008 Copper orange color. Honey malty aroma. Palate a bit flat. Flavor is toffee with noticiable kick followed by smooth orange and hoppy bite.

May 5, 2008 Bottle at Eulogy: Poured a dark amber color with a nice sized head. The aroma was strong malts and yeast. The flavor was sweet and slightly sour. Overall, for a beer that is probably going on two years old, it is still holding its flavor and is enjoyable to drink. Glad I got to try this.

Apr 3, 2008 Plum color with lots of yeasties in suspension. Aroma is dominated by some raisin with a bit of brown sugar and bread. Flavor is sweet and bready - lots of sugar, dark fruit, and caramel/slightly sweet candy. Thinner mouthfeel. Good and unique, but this is mediocre relative to the better Heavyweight beers that were made.
