355mL courtesy of CaptainCougar. Pour is a clear, light amber with not much of a head- some tan bubbles wafting around. Aroma is amazing: big oak, cedar, wet forest, caramel, black peppercorn. Taste is dry cedar, spicy oak, dry cinnamon, herbal. Light-bodied though and quite refreshing. A nice surprise.

Pours with a big, creamy head. Nice nutty aroma with a hint of green olives. Light oxidation - showing its age a bit. Dry flavor, light vegetal notes with hints of raw nuts.

This is, like, HOW old? Never mind, it smells fine as the puffy tan head fills 1/2 the chalice over a deep amber coat showing clear highlights of gold. nice gentle sweet grain smell, a hint of snarky herb and citrus. Taste long fine flavorful noble hops over delicious flavors of nuts, toffee and fruit. Nice old beer with no flaws.

341ml bottle. Clear deep amber with a HUGE foamy-creamy tan head. Aroma is mostly lightly toasty cereal grain with a hint of floral nuttiness - dry and not too sweet. The taste follows - mostly grain, with mild dry roast, not much alcohol. Light body, a bit still, slightly sweet upfront, leaves a fresh-milled bread-makers’ grain aftertaste. Just okay.
