This stuff isn't for the newbie. It's strong as hell (24% by volume) and unless you are really in to beer, you won't dig it or categorize it as a beer. Some of them are aged for years in bourbon barrels. It has a flavorful body, malty taste and a hint of sweetness. By the way, it costs you a crap load of bucks and will taste a bit more like cognac, sherry or vintage port. Most bottles of this stuff go for around $100, but it isn't uncommon to find more exclusive stuff for about $400. I shot this bottle in our studio and took a couple of sips. Buzz, buzz.
