The Sonoran 200 is literally a step beyond extraordinary. Infused with Agave nectar that takes it to 19.37% alcohol, the beer has been oak-aged for almost a year on site. The result is a full bodied yet very round and smooth beverage (can it be called beer?) that is unlike anything you have ever tasted before—and that is one reason it is so hard to describe!

Tequila bottle thanks to BLOZT7555. Bottle was cellared proper. Poured 6 oz. into a snifter. Color is orange / brown with no head and flat carbonation. Nose is lots of fruit tones, dark fruit followed by agave. Served chilled, lots of sweet flavors. Caramel candy, dark fruits again (plums and dates) light oaky wood tones and molasses. More complex then I was guessing. As it warmed I got secondary flavors of vanilla, honey and perhaps some grapes. I was expecting some alcohol burn even after sitting this long of a time, well no trace of ABV. Ok, yes there is after it warms up. Yes it’s sweet with flat carbonation but.. it still is really flavorful. And it gets some style points for being really unique. Plus because of the cork I was able to share with friends and then enjoy days later.

A - Very cloudy, cloudy grapefruit juice with red hues

S - It actually smells hoppy like pine cone and a bit of lemon juice

T - Surprisingly not boozy at all, a hint of agave nectar which I actually drink quite regularly. Sweet figs and persimmons with some grape juice. not hoppy

M - Okay never mind, boozy finish. thin, syrupy and flat.

O - Very interesting and unique. more than an ounce is too much.

Bottle. Strong oak, rye bread and old wine aroma. Murky brown. Very sweet nutty fruitcake (orange seems to dominate) and agave flavor. Not extremely thick like I would have expected. Really pretty good but I don’t want more than an ounce of it.

Bottle courtesy of Atom.Murky amber with no head. Big boozy oaky tequila and brown bread, sort of like fruit cake, aroma. Syrupy sweet agave, earthy, fruity (like fruitcake) flavor. At over !9% I was shocked at the lack of alcohol flavor or burn. Medium body, slightly astringent mouthfeel.

Finally I’m giving this a try. The flask shaped clear glass corked bottle, served up at the perfect temperature, pours a nice clear deep copper to amber body and no head. The aroma is sweet and cut with a bit of prunes and molasses covered raisins as well as a mildly spicy oak note. There’s also a little something else I can’t describe in the background, maybe it is agave? The taste is ‘money’ as I get sugar sweet nectar rolling into contrasting notes of prune juice and brown sugar covered apple skins to midway. Here and there are notes of oak and I guess brown sugar covered agave. I love sweet rich sippers like this that have some contrast and balance provided by the mild level of oak, some semi sweet fruitiness and a touch of booze. Very well hidden ABV. Lovely! So this is 19.37% ABV, really? It isn’t 19.36% cause I’m not sensing 19.37%?

Bottle as shown thanks to bleeng. Pours a dark cloudy brown with no head. The aroma is a strong fruit and booze. Medium mouthfeel with a very sweet peach flavor and Light alcohol burn in finish. What a weird brew.

Bottle looks extrem, not really like beer. Beer in the glass light brownish, almost no head. Dry aroma, alcoholic. Starts extremely alcoholic and very, very fruity. Notes of peaches and apricot, very sweet. Finish less alcoholic, still much too fruity and unbalanced. Bahhh!
