Feb 12, 2004 2000 from a magnum(50.7)Aroma is a bit oxidized at first.Great dark head and lace.Light carbonation.Very smooth and creamy mouth.Tastes nice(like a creamier less harsh version of 2003 with more spice for sure)Aroma opens up to be spicy as well.Very glad to have tried an aged OSA.Holds up well for a 5% beer.

Feb 11, 2004 Seh wah? Had a 2000 - on tap at Gingerman Houston. I think the part that impressed me most was that when I came back from ordering my girlfriend had the guys just in front of me at the bar singing to her in German for having saved their table. That and the fact that this had a lot of oakiness and all the whatnot you would ever shake a stick at. What is RWD?

Feb 9, 2004 bottled: i have had this beer several years in a row, the anchor brewing company says they change the recipe every year, however they are very similiar recipes and what you would expect from this style of a beer. always pours very dark with little head. the big thing about this reciped is how are they going to spice it this year from cloves, cinammon, pine, orange, etc. usually quite a heavy beer and thick in the palate with a large robust flavor. a nice warm hoiday beer. pretty cool when you buy in a larg magnum size and take to a holiday party.

Feb 6, 2004 Pouring with an interesting, spicey aroma,my 2003 OSA was a very dark mahogany-hued ale with little head. The seasoning pine on the label was marked as Pinea Sitchensis(Sitchen's Pine). The flavor of this brew is very complex and hearty, with a multitude of spice undertones. I like this beer!

Jan 29, 2004 Dark red brown in color with a little head. Pretty good. It was a aged bottle, and really sweet tasting. Lots of spices. Bitter in the finish. Pretty good.

Jan 29, 2004 1994 vintage, heavy oxidation dominated both aroma and taste. Otherwise the classic flavors and aromas are still in there. It was impressive that the flavors were still there, but the oxidation destroyed it.

Jan 29, 2004 1994 vintage (believe it or don't). Very oxidized, but still had its full carbonation. Cinimon and spice in the aroma as well. Smooth and spicy malty flavor. Not something I'd like to drink regularly, but interesting none the less.
