Dec 7, 2005 Sampled at Oakes’ ’05 Xmas Party
2000: Dark mahogany, no head or lacing. Nose is light with blood, sherry and engine grade oil. Old and oxidized. Why an 8 for aroma? I really liked the layered combination of those smells for some reason. The flavor is sweet and fruity, nice but a bit old. Finishes sweet like sweet-n-low but with a little cardboard in there for good measure.

Jan 22, 2004 Provides a dark brown color, a head a flat as a board with a heavy, but succulent sweet caramel, toffeish Crunchie chocolate bar nose. The palate is has soft caramel over laying strong brownies and a mildly bitter finishes with hints of chocolate and caramel.

Mar 31, 2003 No head, with ver little carbonation. Dark dark red. Aroma has red wine tones, and maybe I can see the toffee/caramel other people mentioned, Pretty nice flavours, with a big long lingering finish. Almost syrupy, but smooth. The alcohol was very mild, although a bit of a kick when it was all gone.
