Thick sweet aroma. High alcohol sweetness immediately hits your mouth. Fades out to a moderate hop sweetness which tangentially gives way to a mild malt taste. Bottle says 112 IBU, but doesn’t have the typical hoppiness, probably because of the heavy alcohol content. Not very pleasant. Unfortunate I spent about $6/bottle. Says it was bottled 16 months ago, on 6/18/12. Oh well, I’ll save my money next time.

Strong sweet hop smell. Slightly harsh, strong sweet flavor. Can taste the high alcohol bite them fades into a nice hoppy aftertaste that lingers nicely. Bottle says 114 IBU.

Very strong sweet smell. Strong flavors of sweetness with a slight malty harshness. Very little aftertaste other than a slight sweetness.

Sweet, slightly spicy aroma. Taste has a harsh malty sweet taste. Finishes sweet with a moderate hop taste. Too much harshness for me.

This one was really yuck. Had a really sweet smell, gross mouth feel, and a long lingering aftertaste. After a couple drinks, realized the only choice was to pour it out.

Nice slightly sweet aroma with a slight hint of hops. Nice even flavor that is a little hoppy, but not strongly so. Good strong hop aftertaste that finishes off nicely.

Nice sweet fresh aroma. Mild hoppiness, very smooth. Beer almost reminds me of a dry Belgian style. Nice mild flavor, almost milky. My beer #100 since I started tracking my ratings.

Dark sweet smell. Nice strong fruity hop flavor. Sweetness fades quickly and leaves a nice hop flavor. Eventually that fades and you’re left with a clean dark malt flavor like a good dry stout. Very nice but almost a bit too complicated combination of flavors.

Slightly sweet, heavy aroma. Initial taste similar with a bit of hop flavor hidden amongst a very strong and sweet malt flavor. Finishes malty and sweet.

Not much aroma other than a strong sweet smell when it gets close. Fairly harsh taste bite with a faint aftertaste. Not bad, but feels like you’re taking a calculated sacrifice just to take in the high alcohol. There are better high alcohol beers on the market.
