Commercial Description:
A classic Vintage Ale with an aroma which incorporates spicy hop notes with rich fruit character and leads on to a very full malty, fruity, sweet palate which has a surprisingly clean finish coupled with a matching bitterness.
I have handcrafted this beer from the finest Fuggles, Target and Super Styrian hops, Maris Otter malted barley and of course, our unique yeast to create a truly extraordinary unique brew. - John Keeling, Brewmaster

Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 500 ml bottle - #140306. Dark copper pour with long lasting thin white head. Pleasant malty, sweet aroma with hints of raisins, molasses, baked brown bread. Delectable flavor with some dates. figs, prunes and nuts. Back end has some baked brown bread - you know the kind in a can that you serve around the holidays. Thick creamy mouthfeel rounds this one out nicely. Not sure if its any different from their previous anniversary offerings - but I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

500 ml bottle # 03903. from the LCBO. pours reddish brown with a nice tan head. aromas are lovely plentiful english malts and a big dose of hops. almost barley wineish in the aromas. flavours are truely great. very solid malt structure provides ample balance to the aggressive hop profile. everything works very well together and the progression is very well thought out. this is my first of this vintage and im quite impressed.

rating #500, bottle from Brother Tuckers. Dark copper color with a decent white head. I smell malt and toffee...but when I drank it I was surprised to find it a bit hoppier and overall a well balanced beer. A good beer indeed!

Pours copper with a nice off white head. Smells fruity with some caramel undertones. Tastes spicy and citrussy with some sage and an earthy finish. Some nice fruity hints emerge as the beer warms. Nice!
