This beer was labled as "The best beer of 2005" at a local beer shop. That piqued my interest. The label stated that it was brewed with Belgian beet sugars and green raisins (that's definately not passing the Reinheitsgebot!). The beer sounded pretty unique, so I decided to try it. The biggest surprise, however, was that this tasted pretty much like any other ale that I've had. What makes it impressive is that it's 8% abv. You can't tell that by taste (I didn't even realize it until I looked it up here). A very drinkable beer when you consider that it's stronger than Colt 45! Try it if you can find it.
