Bottle shared by Irishboy. Pour murky brown with no head. Aroma suggests sour mash with dark fruits and dark malt. Med body. No sour in the flavor. Flavor is lightly oxidized malt with darker fruit like raisin and dates. Tending to seem thinner with time. A beer that aged well. Very refined.

Reddish brown pour no head left. Nice aroma malty and a little boozy touch of vinagar as this is pretty old. Well coated palate a little viscous. Very sweet syrups and sugars not much else there a light booze. OK.

750mL Bottle poured at the brewery tasting room for The "Odd" Years Vertical Tasting. Celery seed bomb aroma. Tanginess is the first noticeable characteristic of the beer. It really comes at me like a very, very old low-hop English Barleywine, that picks up that vinous acidity. Low on the carbonation and well oxidized. If you’re into 30-year old English b-wines, than this is for you. Dusty.

This poured a very murky darker brown color with no head at all. Aroma was lots and lots of malts, light cardboard, dark fruits and light smoke. Flavor was very sweet and malty, darker fruits and fairly oxidize but still somewhat tasty.
