Bruz: Left work at 7:30pm, got home 7:54pm, grabbed this 40, sat down with a half roasted chicken, potato salad, & coleslaw and turned on Survivor. Drank 1/3 of the brew with the meal. Not bad, similar to Black Label 11-11 in its classic harsh malt flavor. Ate 2 chocolate chip cookies, a small slice of chocolate chip cake, and a bite size Snickers for dessert. Chocolate & malt go well together. Halfway done and it's going well... I'm full but happy. Now in the 2nd half I am not liking it as much. This 40 gets warm fast too, which definitely does not help the taste. The swill is really bad. Man, it's awful swill. If this was a common 40 for me I'd just dump the last 1.5 inches down the drain. But for the sake of this re-review I'll suck it up (& down). I'm tired. No buzz. Overall 5/10 swills at best. Thanks out to neufutur, detroitfourtyouncer, ImissMy64oz & Tiger Tai for hookin me up with this a few times over.

1/7/10 40zForSatan: Thanks to Detroit40oz for hooking up this beauty, in both brown bottle and clear bottle. I drank the brown bottle because that was what was most recently on the market, and wouldn't effected by the light either. I didn't see any sediment in the clear bottle but I'm going to keep it full anyway. I thought the taste was pretty good, slightly sweet with a cheap malt taste up front. I had this with breakfast on January 1st 2010, went down very smooth even though I had to chug the last 1/3 so we could go catch the Ducks play in the rose bowl. I didn't get much of a buzz though unfortunately, though it did quench my thirst so at least it was effective in that aspect.

TASTE: 7/10
BUZZ: 4/10
LABEL: 8/10
SWILL: 7/10
OVERALL: 6/10

beam21: thanks much to satan165 for the hook up on this hoe. Just draining out the pinger of this thang and it tastes fuckin weird. This is one old ass 40. Numbers on the bottom suggest an expiration date of 07/03 but I guess who knows? It's a bit murky and there's stuff floating around in the swill (not chunks, not noticeable while drinking, but visible); I would be seriously surprised if this was normal, but again who knows?? And for that matter, who cares?? This is an interesting 40 for whatever reason, very very sweet with no alcohol taste at all. Tastes like a Big Bear with~4.5%abv (sort of). It packs a noticeable but modest buzz. I guess the taste is "bad" but it's real easy to drink. I'm glad I was able to experience this 40 but it wouldn't be a preference by any means. Oh yeah, and the cap was a motherfucker to get off. Tougher than any 40 I ever cracked by far. Awesome bottle+consistent taste+reasonable buzz-bad taste-mini chunks=6/10 or something?? the equation is too complicated at this point. I'm seriously torn. Part of me enjoys it it, most of me moderately dislikes it, but either way I'm stoked.

Buzzcore: Check it out, ya'll! "The Eagle" has landed! A lot of peeps say this shizz is hard to find, but me and (the ever-popular) Chino scored some without even looking. Yet another fine Middletown, NY score. Anyway, here's a review from the both of us: Chino says "Not bad, pretty smooth and gets you feelin' a buzz. It gives you what you're lookin' for, and isn't that what counts? When I drink, I'm looking for a decent flavor, and a decent buzz factor and it kinda' delivered." He went on to give it a nice 7/10. As for me, I say, this shit is pretty smooth and I like it. It's better than a lot of malts out there, and was only $1.49 so it ranks pretty high with me. Really dug it, actually. Good flavor, and it was getting me lifted. Whoever markets this stuff must like the word "the" though..............the motto is "THE bold, THE proud" and it's called "THE Eagle" instead of just plain old "Eagle", which is hilarious to say the least. Anyways, I bought out all the bottles they had. I sure hope they have more, next time I'm there......7/10

doublej708: found in a strange location that is known to get old shit. had the worst crack ever, very little noise, and the ring stayed on the cap. didnt really taste bad, didnt really taste good. it was pretty much what i expected. im thinking had it been fresher, with a better seal, it would have tasted better. but it did the job, and its a good bottle to have. 3 out of 10.

Drastic Mezures: I got this from Satan165. I've heard bad things about this malt but it wasn't bad; it had that low down low budget taste but in a good way. Good 6% buzz; I mean that by buzzed in a good way, you can feel the buzz, you know the 40's working and your still fully functional. I managed to pick up a few here on Long Island on a Hunt with White Mike so I'm looking forward to trying it again.

FultonCounty40z: thanks to sid for this one. this 40 had zero carbonation, tasted stale yet still slightly good. By no means a crisp malt, it was very drinkable.

hg8point2: this shit is $1.39 here and when i seen that i was worried if it was just some bargain bin shit,and it might be but i found this cheap ass malt to be pretty decent.it had a lighter taste though and i prefer a more defined malt.the swill tasted decent,it was better than most swills.i polished this one off in under 10 minutes and got a slight buzz.5/10 for being so light in taste and so weak.a decent 40 if your broke.

LMSCRacer: This stuff is a complete waste of time...Absolutely no hiss at all off the crack. I poured a little into a glass just to see if it had any carbonation. Foamed up a little, but the head died quick. This stuff does not taste like a malt beverage as it had no taste of malt. If they used any malt, it was overwhelmed by the adjuncts. There was also no evidence of any hops. This stuff was basically a semi-flat, weak mix of alcohol and colored water. Started bad and finished worse. No buzz factor at all. I give this 2/10 swills only because there is probably something worse that would rate a lower score.

magnum4life: Early Friday evening, 5:30 in the P.M. I walk into Stadium Party Store in Auburn Hills, MI. While walking to the cooler to grab my usual 2 forties of Magnum, I see a bottle on the bottom shelf that I don't recognize - "The Eagle" it says, with a gold eagle propped against a black backdrop. "What the hell", 1.89 I'll give it a try. I wasn't in the passenger seat 2 minutes before that baby was cracked. The first few sips were ice cold, and it tasted pretty good - a little metallic, but with a pleasant fruit like aftertaste. When you are stuck in a traffic jam, a cold malt liquor between the legs is a comforting thing, and my Eagle was just that, when I could sneak in a few chugs here and there, most being about 5 or 6 oz pulls. This mediocre taste, above average buzz 40 was placed on the shelf so to speak with about 4 ounces swillin around the bottom. Pounded the Magnum, went back to the bottom of the barrell Eagle, and guess what - still good, even all piss warm. I didn't cringe at all, and that says something about the value here.Would I buy it again? Well probably not. It's the same price as Magnum. Would it be a good alternative if there was no Magnum? You bet. I give it a 6.5 out 10 *SWILLS*

MarkBlackout: Many thanks to White Mike for hooking up this 40. I was looking forward to this one, and it delivered the juice. By juice I mean alcohol and good low-budg' malt taste. Eagle is a sort of sweet malt, but balanced well with the boozy, grainy tastes that accompany. I would drink this shit again in a heartbeat, but the next one probably won't be as good. 7 out of 10 trill swills.

satan165: i picked this up almost 2 weeks ago. ive been procrastinaing alot on it. im not excited about it. i feel the same way about this as i do a laser. i wasnt excited to drink that either, and when i did drink it it was very bland and boring. this is the same. ive only had a few sips but i already know. i got a terrible crack off this bitch, the ring didnt give at all and the hiss was super weak. its not that flat tho at all. but its still not that great either way. eagle is boring as fuck. i have a ballantine in the fridge also and i wanted to drink that instead so bad but didnt to get rid of this garbage and put it on the shelf.

ballantine and p.stock have taught me not to accept weak malts anymore. yes, this is ok, but its not great or really even good. the ballantine is always awesome. at least it was only 1.49.

Tiger Tai: I got this jawnt from Pman on a trade. Not a bad swill at all decent taste average buzz factor. the taste kinda reminded me of something but I can't seem to put my finger on what it is....I dunno damn that short term memory. I'd give The Eagle 6 of 10 Swills...

Vile Fiend: This malt is............ I don't know, it's light as shit. Like a light malt liquor. Drank the bitch quick, light light light buzz. Not much taste to it at all. This is the Coors Light of malt liquor, I can't remember the last malt I had that had this weak of a taste....... I honestly don't think I've ever had a malt this weak before. No flavor, miniscule buzz, cool label & name. I give this 40 a 5/10 swills. Edit: And the ring came off attached to the cap. Pussy ass hiss as well.

White Mike: I had an empty for so long on my shelf. I think I actually got the empty from bruz. But me and drastic found the fulls. It had a little cloud on the bottom so I was nervous. Bullshit crack indeed. The ring didn't come off for me either. But that was a bonus. I used the cap with the ring attached and put it on my P stock 64 to give it some legitamacy. But back to the malt. Tastes like generic malt liquor. Like country club maybe. I poured out the last 20th of an inch to avoid the clouds. Don't be afraid to drink this if you want to try it or if you need the bottle for your collection. But if you just want to drink a 40 go with something else.
