bottle from 1994. pours dark brown with some read and no head. aroma is sweet malts and real sweet red fruits. drinks sweet and a little tinny with some red fruits and caramel coming out. finishes sweet with a lasting after taste. bottle was a bit oxidized but it was crazy good for being 15 years old

Bottle (75 cl). Pours a hazy copper liquid with a small foam. Had a very weak smell with some hints of caramell. The taste was very dry with a very high bitterness. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the other Rogue ales I had during the same evening.

2004 bottle. This one has an amber-red color with an aroma of faint hops, caramel, and some dark fruit. Sugary flavor with some light hops, caramel, dark fruits, and a bit of roast. Not bad, but should be a bit better considering its age.

Ceramic swingtop bottle shared by JoeTheYounger. Pours a mostly clear cherrywood color with a creamy tan head. Aroma is caramel, molasses and some dark dried fruit. Flavor is harsh, alot of bitterness, some caramel and dark sugars, with a very chalky and dry finish. Palate is big and oily and carbonation is moderate. I don’t know about this one. Probably would be better with some age.

Cherry mahogany color with a creamy head. Caramel, molasses and raisin smell. A bit too bitter at the end of the tongue. Very good carbonation. Needs to age a bit.

1998 Bottling, thanks to Adam Avery of Avery Brewing in CO pulling this bottle out of his stash for me. Longest aged american beer i have ever tried. Opens with the slightest, "Pssshhh". Almost complete lack of carbination. Deep, opaque mahagony color. No head. Nose of chocolate fudge liqueur, malty, almost dog food-esque, but in a good way. Palate is rich and creamy, sherried, but with tons of secondary flavors coming through. Fig paste, fudge again, caramel, vanilla, brandy. Wild stuff. Better than 94 Thomas Hardy I had recently for sure!

[1880-20081205] Tap. Fruity mild old socks aroma. Clear, red orange body with a quick white head. Some fruity dry malt flavour with some heavy grain yeast. Medium-full body. Average.

Ceramic 75 cl bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy mahogny, medium beige head. Malty and caramelly with a slightly rough hoppines. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Very bitter, a little too much actually.
