Ohhhhhhh man, what can be said here? let me go from the start.
1) I added this and ranked it as a limited edition. Why? it's no longer being produced, that's why. It went out of the market before January, 2003. ok, on to the specs.
Appearance: an amber tone, kind of orange, with a thick, yeasty head, about 1cm remaining throughout the whole experience, pale tan toned.
Smell: Yeasty. jeez, it carves into your nostrils with its high ABV. there is some maltyness at the end, but deep down at the end.
Taste: Well, lets start with a warning. Anyone who has tried the 8.6 and given it a bad review, can only think of this as an upgrade- alcoholwise, of course. The taste just got sweeter, terribly sweet (kind of rotten banana), and the alcohol is evermore present. This is the main focus of the taste, like some Cancun cocktail in spring break, which you venture to take only shots of. NOT a 500ml piece of crap. There's some hops at the end but with all this mouthfeel (see below), you won't give a damn about it.
Mouthfeel: This may be the worst part to the beer. How can you ever favourably experience a beer's taste fully, when its grotesque alcohol content is numming your tongue and stinging your nostrils? by the end of this you'll have to eat with a straw for a week!
Drinkability: Need I say more?
Conclusion: After pouring it down the drain and reattaching my tongue, I came to a conclusion that had i drank a bottle of hexavalent chromium contaminated water, I would've had the same, or better results. Thank God it's out of the market.
