Mar 27, 2008 22oz bottle from deftim13. Shared with deftim13, WeeHeavy, bikesandbeers, Sean, and Brad. I think this bottle may be 4 years old. Very mellow. Hops have faded. Lots of melanoidins. Past it’s peak, but still very nice. No oxidation. 3.4, but I add 0.1, because of it’s age.

Mar 11, 2008 3-2-08 bottle (4 years aged) shared at tasting thanks to Humulone Red!!
Cloudy orange yellow with thin head and some lacing. Smell is sweet and metallic. Warm hoppy flavor with some alcohol in the taste too. Mouthfeel is smooth and pretty decent. A bit "hot" for me but I am glad I got to try it. Thanks Charles!

Pours a cloudy orange color with a light offwhite head. Smell is creamy and faintly hopped butterscotch sweetness. Taste is similar with still a surprisingly hopped flavor after all this time to complement the butterscotch like creamy malt character. Seems to have held up pretty well.
