Bottle shared at the First Annual Florida Ratebeer Gathering.
These ratings were taken from one day of about 60 different tastings all were good and all have blended together but I know I thoroughly enjoyed every one of them and none were bad.

Aug 8, 2008 Thanks to cquiroga for sharing this epic beer at the RBSG 08 Grand Tasting. Pours a dark brown color with a dense tan head that leaves thick lacing. Aromas of raisins, oxidized apples, caramel. Primarily dark fruit flavor with fig and raisin. Also some candi sugar, vanilla, and caramel which make this beer rather sweet. Spicy fruity alcohol in the finish. Full bodied and warming.

Aug 8, 2008 Sample from an 05 bottle at RBSG shared generously by cquiroga! Nose of Raisins, caramel, candisugar, and a vanilla note; cloudy dark brown with a small beige head; flavor of figs, raisins (very dark fruity), lightly yeasty and sweet! Glad I got to taste this as it is one of the mix between AS and Vinnie of RR Despirartion (a favorite)!

Aug 7, 2008 Deep mahogany in colour with a very clear first pour, thin off-white coloured head, some light lacing. The aroma is of light yeast, some sourness, light cherries, some alcohol, candy sugar sweetness. The flavour is sweet, only some light alcohol, excellent balance, lots of fruit, cherries and yeast. Sweet and slightly warming mouthfeel, medium/large body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes long, filling, warming with a fruity sweetness.
Crazy. These aged Pizza Port beers are fantastic. Very drinkable despite the high alcohol content. You would never know that it was nearing 12%. Truly unbelievable.
750ml bottle obtained in a trade with DarkElf back in July of 2005, thanks Stephen.

Bottle at the Grand Tasting. Pours a dark brown color, with a creamy tan head, and prevalent lacing. Nose has bourbon, hoppy floral notes, some chocolate, and a slight smokiness. Flavors of chocolate and sweet caramel are abundant, with brown sugar, sweet dark fruits, mango and very subtle citrus. Smooth body, with a nice bitter finish. A very drinkable quad.

Aug 5, 2008 Cquiroga completes the quartet of rare PP brews I thought I might never get to try with this one at RBSG. Many, many thanks sir! Pours dark brown in color, with a small off white head. Smells pretty sweet, lots of dark fruit, and maybe some candy sugar or vanilla in there. The flavor was very smooth and warming. The alcohol seemd a bit subdued, but still had some kick left in it. The flavor was more on the sweet side with some great fruit and malt combos. Another treat!
