Jul 4, 2008 WOW!! Sampled at the merrit Island Throwdown courtesy of Oakes, thanx Josh! Where do I start.The pour is beautiful brownish copper color with a thin lacing white head.The nose is sweet, caramel like with hints of the dark fruits. Flavor is well balanced.The dark fruits, caramel, oak and slight alcohol warmth are a great blend.This finished off slightly swet with some woodiness.

May 27, 2008 750ml bottle (2001 vintage) thanks to Todd! poured a solid dark caramel brown with a thinnish slightly off-white head..... nose made up of aged sweet caramel malt, dark fruit, and some maple. malts have faded and was difficult to detect the fact that it was aged in a cab-franc bottle. somewhat vinous but again, hardly noticeable..... smooth ccaramael malt flavors that were slightly oxidized with some subtle light sourness. mouthfeel was creamy and full and had low carbonation with worked well for it..... pretty good but a little past its prime.
