Bottle, thanks to faroeviking. Pours reddish brown with a little white head. Woody barley, fruity and alcohol aroma. Paint like chemical. Solid dry woody sweetness with a solid raisin sweetness. Alcohol is not that present. Thick barley brew.

[Courtesy of faroeviking, session @ yespr] Brown with no head. Sweet malty aroma, with fruit and alcohol notes. Flavor is sweet with strong alcohol notes and ripe fruits. Alcohol is so well hidden.

Pours still, a crazy layered brown and burgundy concoction with a clear and oily exterior; a ridiculous, just ludicrous amount of sugar-particle-appearing sediment. The visible residual sugar is astonishing. The visible yeast particulates are scattered and plentiful. The aroma gets progressively more appalling with each timid inhalation. Pummeling notes of brown sugar, honey-baked hams, rocket fuel, tongue-curling levels of butterscotch, a just-extinguished barbeque grill, huge smokiness, tart German malts, sherry undertones, caramel extract in a concentrated and de-sweetened formulaic and scary expression - breakfast by the campfire in the Yukon with bears on the prowl, cinnamon, rotting berries and honey. Absolutely astonishing, confusing and whimsical while forceful enough to be certain this is as powerful as the hand-written label claims it is. The flavor is better than the absurd aroma. Cinnamon is the dominant spice. The closest taste association I can extract is this: pour an entire jar of honey on a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, let it sit in milk for an hour, remove the mushy cereal remnants from the milk and drink the remainder. Sweetness is so high it’s unchartable. Bitterness is low. Acidity is overwhelming, but acids themselves are overwhelmed by gargantuan sweet notes, resulting in an awkward sense of balance in a most extreme expression. The finish is sweet and sticky, caramel and honey notes lingering, smoke as well. The mouthfeel is full bodied, thick and syrupy. Each of these is the most hardcore I’ve yet experienced in a beer, or whatever this is now. Carbonation is almost nonexistent. Alcohol warmth is not as profound as expected but it’s inevitable glow on the way down is undeniable. The sum of the parts is much more enticing than the individual characteristics, thus the higher overall score. This, despite numerous mental scars inflicted due to such a callous nature and unforgiving, relentless personality, is a wildly fun experience. It’s also an experience I won’t likely repeat. Crazy, defined.
