Not a great initial taste, but definitely not bad considering its alcohol content! Holy shit, I'm already halfway through it in no time! Wide mouths are good like that (in addition to an overwhelming urge to get drunk tonight). Almost done and its still very good! And yo, sippin apache is the nicest 40oz Crew I've ever met! Finished the brew while looking at photos of worthless wrasslers posted on Quagz's MySpace profile. Easy swill, easy drink, good buzz! Best canadian biere! Overall 8.5/10 swills! A 24oz can of Steel Reserve 211 (6.0% variant courtesy of LMSCRacer) tops off this buzz perfectly, alongside my dinner of roast beef & potatos. Thanks out to my man sippin apache outta Montreal for bringing me this bad boy when he came down to NJ for the NYC meeting & final E-town Concrete show.

Soon after my "Collectible Lava Lamp" arrived, it safely took residence in my beer frig awaiting the perfect moment. Well, today was it. Left work early to attend a parent-teacher conference and have tomorrow off and have just finished this fine 40 while reviewing the board. Decent enough hiss off the crack. For a 10%+ ABV, the initial taste was ok, not unlike Evil Eye or Four-O. You do gotta love those wide mouths. Very easy drinking, probably went down too fast judging by the fact I am having to type very slowly to avoid typical errors. When I finally get to Montreal, I will swill one of these with Sippin' (who my wife has fallen in love with his picture..Sorry Holmes). Overall, a GREAT brew. I recommend you start it ice cold as the swill (I imagine) would be rough warm. But since you can drink it quick enough to avoid warm swill this may not be an issue. My rating - 8/10 swills.

I was up in Montreal for the Slayer show back in the summer of '06 and was desperately searching for something to swill. When my friend, who was accompanying me, and I finally found an open (it was about 6:00 PM) Depaneur (corner store which sells everything) we bought the hardest shit available. In this case: the 40oz monster that is [i]Labatt Bleue: Dry[/i]. Well, I started this one out pretty easily, taking small sips, and ended up drinking bigger and bigger gulps with increasing gusto. Now the thing to remember here is it's almost as strong as wine, so it has a very heavy-in-alcohol taste which potentially slows down the speed of the drunkening. Anyway, this 40 goes down pretty smoothly (the alcohol content kicks pretty quickly though) and gives one of those 'eclectic' buzzes which is perfect for anyone wanting to get just drunk enough to be 'fucked up' but not 'fucked up' enough to be dizzy, puking, etc. All in all i give this 999/1000 slugs/swigs/points for essential drinkability and buzz factor properties. P.S. I drank another 40 of 'normal' beer (Molson Export) right after this so I got pretty wasted and might not remember every detail about the 10.1% monster. Take my word for it though, this IS a kickass 40. img258.imageshack.us/img2...dithr6.jpg

Cracked like any other canadian 40 I've had. First impressions: smells real real bad, I actually made a face reactively when I took a whiff. Taste is pretty fucking strong but really not bad as long as I don't smell it at the same time. Easier said than done. This actually tastes better than any 40 8.5%+ that I've ever had, and better than most HG's period. It's hard to describe, my palette is not well developed in the ways of canadian strong beers. 15 minutes in, almost 1/2 done, temperature and taste are consistent, alcohol presence and throat burn increasing... nearing the pinger now, I've slowed down a lot, taste and temp are surprisingly consistent still. I have a major buzz and I think I feel rust forming on my kidneys. The booze flavor is VERY strong but despite that the flavor is inoffensive... Gone. Swill was nonexistent all things considered. I savored that shit. Strongest 40 I've ever had and worlds better than the atrocious 10% rockhead. Feeling pretty bent right now, not quite as much as I expected but that's ok on a tuesday afternoon and I feel great. Thanks a bunch nitz, that one was awesome. Taste B, buzz A. 9/10 EDIT: the 10.1 gave me the most horrible stank beer gas ever today the filthy musk smell in the beer I mentioned above did not end there at work today I kept having to sneak off to empty rooms/areas to rip the rawest ass rough times but totally worth it

I can get regular labatt widemouths around here, and get its flavor in this 40 strong strong beer flavor about 2/3 of the way down 9/10 buzz black bull gave a better buzz though swill was a bit rough 7/10 swill overall 8/10 thanks d07com, good packing as well

Great, if available wouldn't make its way into my daily habits just because of the percentage but it would no doubt have the tendency to creep in. Thanks to dotcom for the opportunity to try.

First off, this isn't sweet at all, which was surprising. For a beer with the ABV it is insanely clean, and the alcoholic taste is really non-existent. This reminds me of the bleue dry 8.1%, taste wise, and smoothness. I was shocked just at how smooth and clean this 40 is. This 40 has all the characteristics of a perfectly brew high ABV beer -Not Sweet -Smooth -NO intense alcohol burn -Easy to pound. Overall, this is now my 2nd favorite 40 of all time, this gets 10.1/10
