cgarvieuk (2385), Edinburgh, Scotland Jul 13, 2008 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.
oberabcbbsok (682), Hoboken, Belgium Sep 4, 2008 Tasted 3 different versions simultanious. First the 14% Purple label: No head smell of alcohol. Fruity, Alcohol and bitter aftertaste.
Second 15.2 % Green Label: No head same smell. More Alcohollic as the 14% and bitterness was even more.
Third 15.5 % Black Label A fine head and oh so complex. Way softer as the 2 previous beers. Very fruity and a good bitter Aftertaste, the alcohol is notable but becouse of the complexity very drinkable. It tast more like sherry. Tasted 16,5 cl each. After tasting the beers in a row, we did the last tasting next to each other. Amazing really. It took us 4 hours to drink only about 50cl of this awsome beer. JorisPPattyn (4282), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 10, 2008 Updated: Jul 11, 2008Head, 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!

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

davidpl (398), Santiago, Chile Dec 21, 2007 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.
