Slightly hazy dark copper pour, with a small off white, beige head. Lots of dark ripe fruit. Booze soaked fruit cake malts. Burnt brown sugar, and loads of caramel. The barrel adds a woody sweetness, and some earthy vanilla, and subtle spice. Sticky, oily mouth feel, low, and soft carb. Finish is quite sweet, vinous in its alcohol. Low bitterness, intense brown sugar and dark fruit. Boozy, sherry, cognac finish, with candied apples. This is an absolute bomb of a beer. Reminds me alot of a cross between and eisbock and an old school super strong English barley wine. Quite complex, share with a friend.

Muddy brown color. Big dried apricot, brown sugar, plums and dried raisins. Boozy, toffee, fairly sweet, the nose continues on the palate. Boozy boozy finish. Sweet. Good complexity, but carbonation is off.

Bottle shared by Andy. Amber color. Sweet, brown sugar. Very heavy palate, alcohol is actually pretty well hidden. I a! Sadly not getting the Armagna.

Bottle, thanks for sharing! Pours a clear copper amber with a white head that dissipates edges. Aroma has lots of sweet grains, bread and a bit of cognac underlying. Flavor has a combination of sweet bread and cognac with some earthy sweet grains backing.

Pours with minimal head and orange body, heavy aroma of fusels and coriander and orange zest and cloying sweetness oh my. Flavour is this huge caramel bomb with a vague hint of armagnac and sugar. I haven’t had an armagnac in years but remember well what they’s tastes like and this has hints of that but is otherwise a huge cloying sugar bomb. Nonetheless the alcohol does not really overpower, it’s the sweetness that does. Maybe a bottle as a dinner digestif to be shared would be a good idea. This is not even sipping beer, this is dessert wine beer. That’s a new one, another category for RateBeer?

Draft - Stone fruit and sweet caramel. Clearish gold with a thin head. Sweet stone fruit and caramel with a touch of bitterness. A bit boozy and sweet.

750mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy deep dark orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out brandy liquor, loads of alcohol, and stone fruits. Flavour is very strong, bringing out stone fruits, alcohol, and a touch of liqueur. Despite the booziness, this doesn't taste like 14.5%. Quite a nice slow sipper.

A hazed amber eisbock with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with vinous notes, alcohol warmth, dark fruits, plums, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with vinous notes, iodine, barley candy sugar, well done. Bottle at Sacred Oak fest.
