Jan 17, 2010 Bottle 1996 vintage poured a hazy reddish brown with a small lingering tan head. Aromas of prune, raisin, fig, molasses,maple, light bitter chocolate and light earthiness. Palate was medium to full bodied and smooth with a warming finish. Flavors of prune, raisin, fig, maple, dates, molasses and carmel with a smooth warming lingereing lightly sweet dark fruity finish. This one is ageing nicely, too bad I only have 2 left!

Jan 10, 2010 A: Pours a nice nutty brown color with a medium head. The head totally disappears leaving behind a few small lily pads and no lacing.
S: Pure sweetness in a bottle. You could pass is off as some of the best maple syrup straight from Vermont.
T: Wow this is a big boy. Tons of nice sweet malty flavors. Raisins and figs stand out. The booze also makes its appearance in a big way. It’s sharp on the tongue to balance out the sweetness and it slowly burns its way down your throat.
M: Big bold, and thick. There is a sting from the ABV.

Jan 3, 2010 Enormous thanks to Cletus for sending a 1997 bottle my way! Lots of folks have been giving less love to the 97 vintages in prior ratings, which only makes me want to try older vintages more because this bottle was wonderful. The beer pours a deep red and is slightly hazy, the head is very small at first but the beer falls flat pretty quickly. the aroma starting seeping out of the bottle pretty strongly before I even poured the beer in a glass. The beer features aromas of fruity port, licorice, caramel, and some booze. The flavor is licorice, sherry, port, some fruitiness and some alcohol. There are fruity flavors like fruit cake and cherry. The beer is lightly roasty with some dark chocolate notes.

Dec 19, 2009 25 cL bottle, courtesy of Bov - huge thanks for providing me this rare beer for my rating no 12345. Pours dark brown with a golden amber glare and a small bubbly tan head. Aroma is dark malty and quite wineous. Sweet caramelish and smooth roasted malty. Dark breadish and light spiced too. Thick syrupy caramelish. Lingering malty into the far finish. Great stuff.
