Light red color, small head. Fruity aroma. What the bleep is this stuff? Gads. The aroma is indescribably awful, and then you taste the stuff. Sweet, possibility something is still fermenting/mutating. Glad I only paid 87 cent for a bottle of this swill. On the positive side, it's really sweet and over carbonated and there is really something awful in the aftertaste. Hope it doesn't rot the pipes when I pour it down the drain. Needed to brush my teeth after tasting this stuff. A 1 is way to high a rating for this stuff

Whenever I visit Brainerd, Minnesota I always check out the liqour stores. They have a good distributor that encourages their stores to close out beer that is out of season. I just found Sammy Double Bock for 3.99 a sixer..what a treasure...anyhow, I went into this one store and this guy was damn near giving away these 22 ounce bombers...He listed them for a buck but told me he'd give me them for 50-cents...Shoot..50 cents for a 22 ouncer of 8.2%, I'll give that a shot...ANDDDDD this isn't all that bad...It has some strong creamy vanilla on the nose...and on the buds...definitely sweet but not horrible...tastes a little cheapish but to be honest the 8.2% is hidden pretty well...relatively smooth...no worse than average, and at 50-cents a bottle I wish I'd have cleaned this guy out...
