This award-winning beer is the embodiment of the validity and integrity of the Holy Brewing Method; our 9% abv Mother Brew is simply stunning, as those in the know will testify. A beer for sipping, possibly from a wine glass - and certainly one for sharing. Appearance: Honey-hued polished gold and ephemeral white foam create an intriguing spectacle. Aroma: A perfumed sweetness and oaked spirit nose indicate something special to be discovered in this handsome liquid. Flavour: Sweet toffee and honeyed twists, turns and loops combine with a concentrated wine-like fruitiness, feisty light rum, swirls of malt, and decidedly ripe dessert apple richness. Mouthfeel and finish: Powerfully spirited and a juicy spice palate with astonishing depth.

Note: American version has an all black label with white font.

Oh boy! Big stovepipe can of malt likkah! Pours like malt likkah, smells scary like malt likkah and of course it tastes like boozy malt likkah! Must be malt likkah! Very strong alky backbone, just like the glass screw top quarts and 40's we buy over here in mericka in a brown paper bag. Slight warming sensation flowing down the throat. Very difficult to drink, quite uncouth coarse rough & boorish. I guess there is one thing this vulgar mess is supposed to do and it does it well; kick yer brain's ass for a spin around the block, hehehehh. Tho holy brewing method? Holy moley! It's uncultured uncultivated benighted unsophisticated unrefined and unpolished, whew. If this is holy, it must be from the church of the notorious Crowley; the English occultist, ceremonial magician, writer, and mountaineer who preached free will, famously known as Aleister, the wickedest man in the world. In the middle, this stuff is tuff; durable strong resilient resistant sturdy rugged firm solid and substantial. I think you could use it to lift permanent marker off a cement floor. In the end, its just one big ass kicker with a mild gag reflex. All together now, lets retch heave keck convulse and choke all at the same time. Its stuff like this that gives cheap pale macro lager a bad name. There, you have it. Right down there with Camo, Dog Bite, Hurricane and forbid, Steel Reserve.

Can from a newsagent in West Byfleet. Aroma had dough and paint stripper. Light gold. Bubbly. Foamy frothy white head. Medium bitter, sour tinged, boozy gluey flavour. Sweet doughy underbelly. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long astringent. Just tasted likes it'll be stripping yer insides. Doesn't have the sweetness that often masks the booze and chemicals that some of these tramp juices have.

Can from my local post office/convenience store. Pours attractive bright golden amber with a lasting creamy off white head. Aroma of malt, fruity/apple, light alcohol, and sweet caramel. Medium to heavy sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body, very sticky texture, soft carbonation. Finish is sweet and sticky. Have to say it wasn’t anywhere near as bad as I thought but hope to never be sitting on a park bench having 5 or 6.
