Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - JUL 16, 2005
Pours yellow with a nice white head. Aroma is sweet with apples and a hint of alcohol. Fairly sweet flavor with a slight hint of alcohol but nothing special. A step above a high alcohol macro really. Not terrible at all though.

clear yellow tiny white head, wierd smell I dont like reminded me of imatation carmel.. not much else. Good carbonation, decent body not much coating. Flavor is a dry hop a very weak malt and a little grassy touch of bitter in the finish.

SoLan (1550) - Florida, USA - JUL 12, 2005
Gold. Thick, bubbly, white head. Slightly sweet malt nose with a bit of fruitness to it also. Lots of carbonation. Decent amount of hops up front with an all malt finish. Alcohol flavor, also. Light/medium body. Better than expected.

Cornfield (5277) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - JAN 9, 2005
Most "European Strong Lager" style beers are made to be drunk from brown paper bags. I have had a couple of exceptions. This is not one of them. It’s a nice golden color, but the head is soon as non-existent as in any malt liquor. The aroma is like squashed apples that have smouldered on the sidewalk in 90-degree sunlight for too long. The taste, sharp like curdling milk. The finish... not quick enough. The 7.8% abv cannot save this one. Because of the large Polish population in the Chicago area, a lot of these beers are floating around. Will someone please stop me from insisting on trying them all?!?!?

Frank (2064) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - DEC 23, 2004
Rather nice golden color with a huge fluffy head created by vast swirls of fine carbonation. Nose is apple-juice with an unpleasant grainy note. Sharp, biting carbonation helps to mask an overall unpleasant everclear, apple cider and corn husk flavor. Drink it cold and drink it fast and you’ll pull through to the end.

Dorwart (2164) - Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA - DEC 9, 2004
Initial large head which diminishes quickly and leaves some decent lacing. Aroma of rice and corn flakes. Color is a medium gold. Flavor is soft and malty with a bit of alcohol and some more creamed corn. Finish is pretty clean and smooth. An ok beer.

Jine (896) - Nutley, New Jersey, USA - NOV 18, 2004
This was like an Eastern Bloc, behind the Iron Curtain malt liquor. All Hail The Iron Fist Of Communism.

Pailhead (3449) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - OCT 21, 2004
Bottle: Aroma is mostly malty with a tad hops and alchohol. Pours a transparent gold with a nice white head with good retention. Okay lacing. Flavor is moderately malty maybe citrusy with a very slight bitterness that gets added in the finish. Light malt aftertaste.

Burnt Beer Night: Gold Coloring. This Was Hard to TRY to Like... High Alcohol for a Bad Beer... Bitter...Malty ... No Thanks.

badgerben (4116) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - OCT 15, 2004
Burnt Beer Night: Gold body with little head. Strongly alcoholic and filled with sour malt. Technically I’ve had worse, but not a strong selling point for me.
