Commercial Description:
The '03 adds a new twist to the annual limited edition beer that we brew. The past three versions ('00, '01 and '02) all used ale yeast strains in their creation. This year, a lager yeast provides the next unique flavor in this series of strong beers. With this new yeast, we, again, selected an original combination of ingredients to round out the never-to-be-used-again recipe. Hints of roasted malt are balanced with the mildly floral bitterness of '03's three hops to produce our next one of a kind brew. In addition, the nearly full pound of malt that has been used to make each bottle of '03 is the key to it's complexity and tremendous strength. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: "It's All About Extremes!"

750ml bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 . Pours a dark brown color with no headand no carbonation. Aroma is medium sweet, wood, caramel and raisins. Taste is semi bitter, raisin, soy, and alcohol. Argo0 stated it well" Not sure if it aged poorly or if it ever was any good, but unpleasant now."

750ml bottle via Mys Swap 3.0 (thanks!). THis pours a dark brown with a small beige head. Nose is toffee, caramel, alcoholic. Tastes like the aroma with some added oak, bourbon, bitter cocoa,and raisins. Body is full, carbonation is though after 4 years, lol..

Courtesy SoLan. The pour is a dark chocolate brown with a reddish tint. Zero head or lacing noted. Scents of rich caramel, chocolate malts, vanilla, and hints of boozy bourbon comprise the nose. It smells very rich, not at all oxidized like I was expecting. The flavor is again very sweet and malty, with virtually zero hop remnants. A chewy blend of Indiscernible dark fruits washed in bourbon and then steeped in molasses and nougaty malts comprise the taste profile. The body is substantial, but in a syrupy, sweet kind of way. I imagine this was much better when fresh, but it was till fairly enjoyable even at this age.

Bottle at the second Doubletree tasting, provided by Zinister. Thanks! Pours an average mahogany with nice lacing around the glass. Aroma is molasses, cane sugar, syrup, and red wine. Tastes of sour molasses, plumb, and bourbon. Average mouthfeel. Alcohol is very prominent. Not a bad beer.
