Suttree (2701), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Dec 23, 2008 I saved this for a tasting because, frankly, I could not face this alone. extremely, uncomforatably viscous on the palate. Predicatably boozy and sweet. Not my thing. Butters (1623), Virginia, USA Dec 21, 2008 2007 bottle. Pours a brilliantly clear with fair white head. Sweet burning vanilla alcohol aroma. Nice warming sensation. Good for a novelty, but too expensive. Reminds me of a high alc. hurricane alobar (1006), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 19, 2008 Golden amber color with a thin white head, Aroma of honey and fruit with some alcohol. Taste is sweet with honey and some fruit. Bit of a hot edge.Thic ksipping beer. blutt59 (2045), Dallas, Texas, USA Dec 19, 2008 bottle, light golden color, still head, aroma has a lot of honey, melon and apple notes, flavor is cooked apple, more melon and fruity floral finish Ober (1165), Bommelerwaard, Netherlands Dec 8, 2008 A clear amber colored beer, with a small beige head. It disappears quickly. The aroma of caramel, sweet malt and fruits. And alcohol. The taste is sweet, burny alcohol, spicey some pepper. There are notes of porto. The aftertaste is burney and a little bitter. scrizzz (1252), kirkland, Washington, USA Dec 4, 2008 Honeycomb aroma with alcohol heat like a barleywine, light clear amber. Incredibly complex: pine, honey, orange syrup, sunshine and happiness. Thickest Helles I have ever met, more approachable and with more distinct flavors than the more popular cousin. TomDecapolis (3130), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 1, 2008 2007 Bottle. Pours a mostly translucent golden with orange notes and a medium bubbly/creamy white head that left lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, tropical fruits, vanilla, melons, apple and light grainy notes. Overall sweet and syrupy aroma...but in a good way. Flavor of green apples, honey, sweet syrupy malt, light grainy notes, light alchol burn, tropical fruits, grapes...and yeah sweet. I enjoyed this one...but was a bit sweet and malty. Toffee/toasted malt burps. larsga (2937), Oslo, Norway Dec 1, 2008 Small offwhite head. Light amber body. Deep fruity straw, malt and alcohol aroma. Deep intense malty strawberry and alcohol taste with straw and caramel notes. Smooth, round mouthfeel. Some alcohol heat. Bitter straw and malts aftertaste with alcohol and strawberry notes. Very nice and rounded, dangerously easily drinkable. (0.33l bottle from gr0ve.)
