Bottle from Cletus - thanks for the rarity! Pours reddish copper with a few bubbles for head. Aromas of sweet roast malt and grassy? hop. Medium body with hardly any carbonation. Flavor is a bit chalky. Sweet malt. This is on its way to something like Gales Prize Old Ale. Finishes sweet with a balancing bitterness. Mouthsmacking.

Bottle: Poured a deep cloudy brown color ale with a small bubbly head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt with some cardboard. Taste is a mix of sweet malt with some cardboard notes. Definitely not a recent bottle with some distinct oxidation but still enjoyable. Full body with limited filtration and no alcohol was apparent. Missing some dry fruits notes but still enjoyable.

Thanks IBrew2or3 for the share. Pours hazy orange brown with nose of chocolate, caramel, malt, raisin, candy sugar, booze (reminiscent of DFH Olde School), and some ripe fruit. Flavor is caramel, overripe fruit, grapes, malt, booze, and some honey. Lots of depth, complexity, and interest in this beer.

Bottle, courtesy Ibrew2or3. Very hazy and cloudy pour, tons of lacing. Sharp metallic nose with dark fruit and some sleepy caramel. Flavor is oxidized, with lots of dry notes of caramel, honey, some chocolate, slight sticky toast, and some very distant smoke. Floral hop. Obviously has some age on it but still pretty yummy.
