Er, no.

Had this at the brewery in SacTown, on their beer mat they said it was 11%ABV and I believe it.

Served a nice cloudy gold with a thin but rich white head. In a pint glass (well, ok, more for me so no complaints.) Sharp sugarywheaty smell.

Malty, banana-wheat flavor, no real spiciness, and all overwhelmed by a powerful assload of yeast. Had a strong alcohol flavor as well which would have been ok if not for the sugary yeast. The mouthfeel was so thick I thought a loaf of bread was going to pop out of my mouth. Put down a whole one of these and you've got a potent gas bomb in your stomach that can later lay waste to a packed elevator or bus.

I love powerful sweet beer, but this was practically undrinkable with all the sugary yeastiness of a fruitcake. Please work on a more well-balanced version people.

This is a potent beer for sure. Pours a light rum color with little white head. The smell is of strong alcohol and buttered toffee and rum. The taste is that of a scotch, hints of butter with the high alcohol. Way to sweet, almost like drinking a syrup. Feels medium bodied and bites the mouth. I sampled this at the pub out of a 6oz glass and could barely finish it.
