Dennis: This is to me a dessert beer, you sip it, you enjoy it, but you couldn't probably pound it without puking. Very strong as you would expect from an 11.4% alcohol, and incredibly malty, chewey and ready to hurt you with it's strong alcohol bite. Almost as warming as taking a shot, this beer is not for the light of heart.
Jen: This is a delicious beer. I say it in that way because it tastes like something you would have with a dessert, like creme brulee or tiramisu. It has flavors of dried fruits, like raisins and prunes, and is backed by a nice blend of malts. It has a vanilla flavor and, for the alcohol content, it goes down smoothly. Just don't pound this.
