A red beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of alcohol and cowberries, combined with lesser notes of metal (might come from the alcohol) and whiskey. The mouthfeel is very thick, like portwine. The flavor is extremely alcoholic combined with notes of wood and prunes, with that same burning sensation, that a 40% ABV whiskey leaves You with. This beer is alcoholic - I wonder how the 28% ABV standard Rosies Ale are.

Dark caramel colour. Thick body leaves legs on the glass. Big fat alcohol & malt character. Very chewy and long. The character to me seems quite typical of what happens when you make a giant beer - not really good or bad but standard for the type. There are definitely more stylish monsters out there.

Aroma like a fruity Belgian ale with fruits and wheat. Sweet and very heavy body. Plums, sugar, and more flavors including wheat and hops. Very complex. High alcohol leaves a burn on the tongue. Very good, but at $10 for 4oz, I won’t have it again.
