Bottle, 14% ABV Pours a clear, flat amber color with no head. Aroma is VERY alcoholic, toxic, with notes of nail polisher, alcohol, brandy and cheap whiskey. It’s so strong and alcoholic it’s scary. Ultra alcoholic, chemical flavor. Please bring some ice or anything to combine and make a drink. Parafine, rum and cheap whiskey. It’s scary and almost undrinkable for a beer. Seems distilled. Intensely phenolic, harsh, alcoholic as hell. Cognac? I would drink a fine scotch unblended whisky instead any time. No carbonation. Harsh, alcoholic finish. Tood bad. My poor liver had to go through this crap

Thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-11196.htm>Gazza for this bottle

Bottles at Toms Ultimate Glasgow Tasting ... YEUCH, thats about it. we had 14% and 15.5% bottles Very rought no balance. I could maybe have finnished the 14% but the 15.5 was like raw alcohol.

Head, colourless, for 3 secs flat over cognac-coloured beer; Casked Amontillado sherry, some toffee maybe, on wine - absolutely UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE! Imagine watered-down sherry, with some waterplant like duckweed. Very slick, oily, but not heavy. Medium bodied, but very difficultly drinkable. Unbelievable beer, more like a sherry from the cask. Reinvestigates the limits of the word "beer". I challenge anyone sampling this stuff blind, and still call it beer... Big thanks to Dirk and Carlo!

Appearance: amber color. Not head. Aroma: alcoholic mainly, unpleasant chemical touches like acetone and gasoline. Some whisky and dried-fruit aromatic notes. Flavor: malty start, definitively unjustified high alcoholic degree that hidden others potential savors. Some dried-fruits note. Whisky and cognac’s reminiscences. Palate: medium body and few carbonated. Disappointment beer. Thanks <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-11196.htm>Gazza.

Bottle. No carbonation, lots of ugly floaties. Murky. Vinous, warming. Not much beyond the alcohol. Not good.
