Bottle from Tres Bonne Cuisine. Bracing for horrible only to discover..Not so bad. Deep, rich amber body, wispy head. Strong aroma of alcohol and apple juice. Taste is tangy and tart, super sweet malt and apples. Heat galore. It burns. Not spectacular, but does the trick.

Sent to me I think as a joke, but I thought, what the heck. Found a friend who was willing to split it with me and away we went.
Poured the color of weak iced tea and had about as much carbonation. So the color was almost right but lacking bubbles it just didn’t look right.
The aroma was almost marzen like, with a hint of floral or herbal notes. Actually the best part of the beer.
The taste followed, as much as the ABV would let it. The burn from that was not beneficial to the taste.
The feel was not bad, and had it been carbonated it would have been pretty good.
OA, I tried it, I survived. I have had worse beers, but not with this ABV.

This beer is truly awful, doesn’t taste like a lager, it will get you drunk.
I thought AB products were not worth dry until this

There is no reason this beer exists other than to say you had a 16% beer. Alcohol overpowers everything. Get this to about 32 degrees before you try it because if it warms at all it's drain pour.

From the sexy bottle in a snifter. This rocket fuel pours a bright and clear
peach tinged amber with a dissipating head that falls FAST to nothingness.
Nose of strong booze...almost gasoline....oh my. Flavors follow but are easier
to drink than the abv would suggest. Kerosene mingles with gasoline and subtle
apple notes making for a warming hot critter that is hard to describe. It is not
disgusting, but it is lacking depth of any sort. I dare say, two bottles of this and
you are DONE for the night. Glad I split it. Oddly enough the aftertaste is almost
clean with a touch of sweet. The lower alcohol brews like this are similar with
their respective 14 and 15 percent......up soon....Fuggin Awesome which is most
likely the same brew with a different label. Interesting finisher or mid way
cleaner for the tastier in your fridge.
Cheers
