Vintages drank: 2004 - 2012. Aged and fresh. This brew is fantastic right away, and sits well for around 1.5-2 years. There’s a sweet spot in there with each bottle, you just got to find it...

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy brown color with some floaties in it and a slight off-white head that disappears quickly. Nose is slightly sweet with some slight fruitiness in there. Taste is actually sweet as well, and feels remarkably light. OK, but not all that great.

Dark caramel color. Slim tannish head. Plenty of lacing. Caramel malt slight citrus nose. Malty flavor with a bitter finish followed by the sweet malt. Raisins. Nice.

4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Deep deep brown with a lingering brown head. Wafting notes of spice, rum and raisin. Wonderful in the mouth, thick and rich, complex - a bit of funk from the yeast, christmas cake flavours of fruit and nut, and a rich bitter aftertaste. One of my favourite beers.

We had this in Vernon. I think the transport agitated it quite a bit as the sediment was all over the place. That said it didn’t seem to affect the taste at all. This beer is weird but also delicious. Be careful though, it also has an alcohol content of 10%.
We were trying to piece together what we tasted in there because there was a lot. There were definitely dates, it tasted a bit nutty, but there was a lot going on. A really dark ale that was actually somewhat lighter to taste than it looked, but it still felt you had eaten an entire fruitcake.
I liked it enough to pick up a second bottle and I think I might get a third to have on hand for when family visit on the holidays.
