From the brewer

The Beast is a seducer – accomodating, complicated, powerful, dark and created to last the ages. With a deep burgundy color and aromas of honey, nutmeg, mandarin orange and pineapple, this massive and challenging brew has flavors akin to a beautiful Carribean rum. Dates, plums, raisins and molasses are dominant in a rich vinous texture. Cellarable for 10+ years.

Oh wow, this beats me in the face like the most bourbon barrel aged beer in existence .I can't write any more because the reaper is here to collect me . I want a rating that says "Never, Never, Never again" .
2012 release
Smells slightly peppery. Super strong: 50% of the flavor is rubbing alcohol, and molassesy candi sugar and a bit of pepper as well. Too much.
2007 release
A face punch of booze and heavy hitting abv. Very slow sipping beer. Aged well.
