Bottle at CGarvie tasting. Old-Skool label! It pours deep amber-brown with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is rather sweet...raisin, sultana, white grape and brown sugar. The taste is earth, light bitterness, spice, citrus, candied peel, raisin, dried fruit, brown bread and cherry. Medium body and fairly high carbonation. Not a whole depth of flavour. Ok.

From ZDK’s tasting. Vintage 2006. The aroma is sherry-like, oxidized, very nice. The appearance is clear amber/red, white head. The flavor is like the aroma, sherry, bread, fruit. The finish is sweet, sherry. Excellent.

750ml bottle, 2006 vintage, shared by Matt at Zach & Matt’s tasting. Pours brown with a small foamy tan head. Aroma is booze and dark fruits and spicy yeast. Taste is really beautiful, some sour notes along with some sweet notes, a great balance. It’s like the beer has totally mellowed out with age. This was really enjoyable.
