Before BrewDog came along this was the strongest regular beer brewed in the UK (could still be, I don't know what BrewDog actually brew on a regular basis): I had it at the brewery tap many years ago and never thought I'd see it again. However our paths crossed: it was available at a beer festival I attended on 17 Nov 2012, so I had a hand-pulled half pint as my night-cap before I left the fest.
Dark brown and thick looking, with a poor excuse for a head on top.
The aroma wasn't as fruity (strawberries) as I remember from my first encounter with this powerful and exceedingly sweet brew. The nose on this half was all about sugar, roasted brown sugar (on toast) with red berries just about making an entrance behind the sugary wall.
The taste is all brown sugars with those berries, again with some toast presence: small sips are the order of the day with this brew and each sip seemed to have more alcohol in it than the last one. If you don't like syrupy sweet beers this isn't for you, but I liked it and was really glad I've had a chance to have another after all these years.
