Pours coffee brown with minimal head. Aroma - FUCK, I could run my car on this! Boozy, with roasty and mocha undertones. Flavor has sharp boozy bite, and when you recover, roast malt, chocolate and caramel. Texture provides firm body and peppy fizz. Go nuclear.

Bottle. Yep, here it is, the pretty dark hawk... It pours out in a clear reep reddish amber colour with a small bubbly off-white head. Big aroma of wood, booze, sweet licorice, whiskey,port, nuts and tar. Full-bodied with big hot and belly-warming flavours of salty licorice, wood, alcohol, tar, black chocolate, black pepper and used cigarettes. Long warming and as well quite boozy finish of salty licorice, prunes, pepper, alcohol and brown sugar.Crazy stuff of course but I still considering as a beer after all.

Restricting people to only 1.5oz of this is a crime as that is the equivalent alcohol level of a North American light beer. Another distilled effort from our Scottish brethren tring to make extreme brewing an event at the winter X games. Although better looking and much better tasting than the Sink The Bismarck - distilling beer is still wrong.

The beer was a very dark brown with no head. The aroma was alcohol, roasted malt, and wood. The mouthfeel was full bodied with no carbonation. The flavour was dry, smoke, malty, with a hint of licorice.

Bottle: Pours an opaque black no cap. Aroma is intense peat smoke, oaky and roasty, some tobacco and licorice. This is rich and oily to the palate...a lot like some wild herbal liquer with smoky presense. Flavor: Peat smoke predominates...oily mouth feel....woody, some sweetness, alcohol hidden - only shows up as a salty side note, medicinal, licorice, tar...figging wild stuff. Not an every day drink for me....too much smoke taste

pure concentrated evil.. . pours a dark black, very low head, no lacing, just crazy brown legs .. . very ruff, flavors of booze, rum, tar, evil, black hole, tar and burnt match tips .. . needs about a year, to a decade .. . when i tried it with my beer tasting group it was hot but enjoyable, when i tried it at its release- amazing.. but when i sat down with a bottle myself over the course of 2 nights, the roughness came out, is fun though, it really helped my bad back .. . refudiate the haters!!

330 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 32%. Sold as "spirits / hard liquor" ( 4 cl shots) in Norway. Very dark reddish brown colour, nearly black. No head nor carbonation. Strong aroma of fusel alcohols, oaky and roasty notes, hints of smoke. Intense flavour of smoke, tar and salt. Moderately bitter finish. To be honest, this was not very good.

they claim it's a double barreled frozen multiple times imperial stout - not an english barleywine, not that it really matters at this strength, except that due to the multiple freezings it looks more like a dark barleywine than a stout. pours ruby tinged dark brown, no head. little carbonation, but it's there. feel is nice, fairly smooth for the strength, but the aroma is all hot whiskey and sweet. no depth. Utopias had set the bar high for super strong ales as far as flavor and complexity go and this just didn't match up. flavor is nice, but got hot too as the beer warmed. lots of rasisiny sweetness and candi sugar, whiskey...not much in the way of stout character at all. overall, a cool experience. our ears were all toasty warm when we were done, but absolutely not worth the ridiculous price. at least SA got their abv through the brewing process and not by freezing the beer multiple times.

Pours medium brown, no head. Aroma of bourbon. Mouthfeel is alcohol. Flavor is bourbon flavored roofing tar and a little Nyquil. Alcohol is downright overwhelming, perhaps the overall is of the worst bourbon ever. I agree with above, sadly so out of whack it is pretty undrinkable. I got it for the novelty abv, which already has been surpassed. Since it is no longer the strongest, I don't see this beer sticking around too long. Very expensive and no real redeeming qualities. Buy the worst boubon at the liquor store and you'll get the idea.

Bottled@The Chriso Gaylord tasting. Quite much black colour with not too much head. Aroma is whiskylike stinging alcohol, quite much liquorice as well as some rather burnt sugary notes. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather whiskyish stinging alcohol in this one, not that balanced...
