unknown vintage but suspected 5-10 years old, clear dark brown, wispy tan head, rich sweet sherry aroma with ripe fruit include plums, dates and raisons, creamy body with low carbonation becomes too thin, rich dark caramel malt flavor, lots of fruity character, nice sticky sweetness, flavor is a bit of a letdown from the aroma,

Aug 21, 2007 Bottled (2002, 8.1%). Clear ruby red colour, small beige head. Aroma is really big time madeira, raisins, plum, alcohol and some dark fruits. Flavour is the same along with wood and vanilla. Leaves a really nice and long aftertaste.

Aug 10, 2007 Bottle, chris_o shindig. Brown, thin tan head. Ruby hints. Strong alcohol, fortified wine notes. Dark fruit. But one-dimensional here.
Mouth is sweet, sharp tints. Sweetness lives on throughout. Some sharp over-sweet sour fruit towards the end. Not a huge fan.

2002 Bottle at Chris O’s Shindig. Glorious dark amber appearance with a clingy tan head. Sweet alcoholic nose. Similar flavour but with some tasty malt appearing along with some caramel and dark fruits. Not particularly brimming with complexity but tasty all the same.

Jul 17, 2007 Updated: Jun 5, 2008Muted smells overall, but there’s some toffee and fruits in there. Taste is pure toffee with a dash of coffee and caramel. Doesn’t go down too easily.
