I surprisingly liked the sweet flavor of this beer.

Smells sorta like cocoa puffs. Sour notes in taste but sweetness and alcohol overwhelm it. Roasted sour alcohol finish. This beer works rather well in a small amount as the flavors break down enough with small sips and no particular taste overwhelms. Somewhat of a syrupy residue left.

This was something remarkable and different - 17% alcohol, thick and sweet, if there were a beer equivalent of port wine, this would be it. Reminiscent of a super-rich hot chocolate with about the same mouthfeel, and you can feel every percentage point of the alcohol in play. It's not a beer I would drink as a beer, but ... I can imagine the time and place.

They went a bit overboard with the beer. It is so strong that it detracts from my enjoyment. Nice coffee flavors in the aftertaste.
