Aug 15, 2004 Ginger/orange colour. Aroma of sweet malt and fruit, with candy sugar and very evident volatile alcohol. Sweet initial mouthfeel, with burnt treacle, molasses, toffee and a lot of spicy hop bitterness coming through on the finish. The alcohol is rather intrusive on the finish. It’s certainly warming - more like burning, with a very pronounced acidic alcohol aftertaste. The mouthfeel is a touch sticky. Has a rather Belgian feel to it. A bit of a beast, but pretty good. 330ml bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk. BBE 31 July 2004.

Jul 20, 2004 (Bottled) Clear, golden color with small head. Sweet aroma with rye pudding, herbs and some alcohol with a spicy hint. Quite sweet, strong and complex flavor with herbs, anise and a hint of (well-hidden) alcohol. Very full-bodied, sugary palate with balanced carbonation. A very enjoyable and complex dessert brew. Reminds me of Silly’s Scotch.

Jun 9, 2004 Updated: Aug 12, 2007It had been a while since I had sipped upon this interesting brew.Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer pours a golden color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is of sweet plums. The flavor is very sweet and the mouthfeel is thick. There is a pronounced alcohol burn that actually makes you think that you are drinking something with far more than the 9.6% alcohol contained. Overall a tasty sipping beer, but the alcohol burn is really too pronounced. It has not held up well in my esteem, as I recall thinking much higher of it in the past.
