750ml corked bottle pours a golden orange color with a huge white head that settles to some thin lacing on the glass. Aroma is caramel and dark fruit with hints of yeast. Taste is caramel malty sweetness with a hint of fruits and yeast and a mild hoppy bitterness. Medium to heavy body with some really nice carbonation. This is a great tasting ale and is recommended to try.

2009 vintage C&C 750 mL bottle shared by Butters at the 15th Richmond Ratebeer Gathering, 7/16/11. Pours a hazy amber color with a large frothy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of bread, caramel, stone fruits and leafy hops. The taste is rich caramel malts, stone fruits, vanilla. Full bodied. Very smooth. Very nice beer.

Richmond Gathering, one of the more interesting ones we ran across during the tasting, liked it a lot. Medium to dark amber. Light caramel aroma. Flavor is more interesting, rich caramel, but also a wheat note, and some slight, undefined fruit that hints at tangerine. Touch of vanilla on the finish. Very nice.

Hazy purply amber hue. For what it is, I think it’s well done. Sweet, and honey, and lavendar, and wheat. Kinda like a tripple, but very mellowed. Caramel, and wheat. Surpsingly well done.

2008 bottle. Very cloudy pale yellow, whitish head. Very sweet - plum, raisin, some booze, but has gotten much better with age. Sweet, some hops, alcohol, nice finish - wow this beer has changed, much better!!
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at the double 5k tasting. Pours a hazed gold with a thin white head. Big wheat, banana, gum and candy on the nose. Big and oxidized. Sweet long oxidized notes. Toast, and a long gummy banana finish. Strange.
