Sep 10, 2009 1988 bottling, 21 years old. Deep amber with no head - just a whisper of bubbles on the surface, and it is still. Aroma is full and heady; rum at first, then powerful honey and apples and peaches with a stirring warm spice - like cinnamon or cardamom. The taste is a slap in the face; it hits a flat note like bread or wet cardboard, at first disconcerting; but then changes into a dry, winelike sweetness and complexity. It leaves a long aftertaste of apple, peach, apricot, and toffee. A rare treat.

Jul 8, 2009 Numerous bottles of different vintages going back a few years from the brewery the brewery shop and from the kind barman at that pub just down the road from the brewery. Alround rating: Sweet caramel and toffee malts, some sweet fruity esters dark berries and raisins, peppery hop and alcohol comes through the minerally character is there but far more subtle than in the session harveys beers. Anyway good stuff and im glad iv got some more.
blipp (1612), Newark, New Jersey, USA
Jun 18, 2009 Bottle. 1996 vintage. Pours red brown with a thin beige head. Vinous dark fruity aroma, with raisins up front and a bit of a matly sweetness. The flavor features a nice lightly sour dark fruity sweetness, with raisin, cherry and plum, as well as tobacco, wood, and toffee. Not bad for a 13 year old beer.
