Bomber from a trade on BA - thanks, Crandall! Vigorous hazy brown pour, loads of bubbles and sticky lacing. Nose was sharper than the sweet concoction I’d expected, filled with wood, yeast, spice, and hops along with the dark fruits and toffee one anticipates. The surprise continued a bit in the taste which, though the sweeter old ale qualities were there, came across very much like a hoppy brown in places. Interesting and enjoyable.

Went to brewery, got growler full of Antiquity. Also bought bomber of Whiting. Antiquity is a great dessert beer. Strong alcohol, not quite a barely wine. Taste molasses, raisin, and malt.Full bodied. No coffee flavors.

Pours mahogany with ferocious bubbles and tan lacing. Aroma consists of beef jerky, caramel and toffee. The flavor is somewhat sweet. This is one strange beer.
