jfenglish (198), Chicago, Illinois, USA Sep 15, 2007 Chef Paul’s. 11.2 oz bottle. Aroma of cherries and almonds, muddy brown color. First taste was overwhelming of sweetness and alcohol, gotta sip this thing to let the flavors come through. Very very sweet, wow. Did I mention the alcohol? Flavor and consistency was like a port. Some licorice. Heavy, boozy, sweet. Quite unique. footy (334), scottsdale, Arizona, USA Sep 11, 2007 2/8/05 330ml. Belgianshop. Dark brown with no head. Sweet caramel, stale aroma with alcohol noted. Malty sweet with a slight sharp yeasty taste. Too sweet by the end. thomat (666), Göteborg, Sweden Sep 10, 2007 Dark, redish nrown with a tiny white head. Sweeet with malty tones. Malt, fruit and alcohol. Full body with a sweet finish. Adenila (931), Denmark Sep 10, 2007 <Thanks to Beerbiker>
Served abit too cold, but took my time to warm it up, which changed the beer dramaticly. Fizzy carbonation and leads to a huge brown collapsing head. Aroma is sweet like brown sugar, full of dark fruit esters and a very intense vinouse nose. Flavor was lovely vinouse also, with a very wellbalanced warming alchohol, and a nice fruity mouth aroma. Nice. masonjer (555), Holt, Michigan, USA Sep 10, 2007 Poured a dark brown into the glass. Very minimal head. Smelled sweet of candi sugar, dark fruit and caramel. Taste was much the same, sweet and rich, some biscuit and bready notes, no hop presence. Nice big beer here, little bit sweet, but good for one glass.

Dark brown, little head. First spike of the aroma was tomatoes, sweet zingy tomatoes. Plenty of brown maltiness too though. First taste on the palate is exceptionally sweet, sugary sweet, and upon swallowing the first vapours to fill the mouth and nose are those of alcohol. The malt is drowned by those two aspects. Fairly pleasant though, and not a harsh 11% beer at all. patrick767 (2016), fort wayne, Indiana, USA Sep 3, 2007 Updated: May 18, 2009bottle shared by thedm and hotstuff - Pours dark amber with a thin head. It smells of alcohol, malt, and a touch of yeast. The flavor is very sweet with dark fruit notes and mild alcohol that’s mostly found in the finish of this medium to full bodied brew.
Rerate from a bottle picked up in Amsterdam. 8/4/8/4/15. Averaged with prior rating. HomerJ1967 (2), England does not count Sep 1, 2007 Heaven in a bottle
