2008 bottle. Amber color. Vinous, slightly dusty aroma with notes of toffee and cognac. Vinous, slightly perfumed flavor, slightly dusty with cognac notes. Slightly alcoholic. Malty and matured (perhaps a bit too matured) but the balance could be better.

Bottle. Orangey pour, almost no head. Oxidized aroma, dry leafy hops, nuts, caramel. Taste is a bit too old, cardboard, old hops, with a pretty bad lingering aftertaste. Palate is thin but okay.

Bara för att ett öl har lagrats i fem år och därför etiketteras "vintage" - och därmed också betingar ett högt pris - innebär det inte att det per automatik är kvalitativt. Tanken är mycket god, förmodligen godare än smaken, och förväntningarna är större än vad ölet förmår fylla.

Bottle pours amber with a white head. Sweet malty aroma with some subtle fruit notes mayber raisin. Tastes bready and malty sweet fruit and carmel . Easy drinker.

Pours dark amber with a decent off white head. Aroma is malty, tobacco and sweet fruits. Flavor is Fruity malty and hoppy with caramel tones. Perry acidy on palate. Finishes first a bit sweet turning into nice tart hoppy.

2008 bottle. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden brown with a small off white head and sediment floaters. Aroma is very malty and doughy, lots of biscuit and sweet candy notes. Flavor is much the same, tons of biscuit and a touch of fruitiness, lots of malt caramel and toffee. Medium to medium full body and a bit of a sharp carbonation. I’d like to see how this ages how the fruits really come more into play.

bottled. Dark amber color with a thin beige head that gone quickly aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, roasted malt and some fruity. flavor is sweet and fruity, medium body. Mouthfeel is short but dry.. nice beer..

Always enjoy this beer, and the best out of the Coopers stable for complexity and flavour.

Bottle. Hazy brownish with a very small head. Sweet aroma of malt, dried fruit, caramel. The taste ws sweet with something that reminded of licorice, some alcohol, dried fruit, malt and caramel. Body was light to medium, medium carbonation. Ok it was drinkable but not that interesting and good.
