This was a great beer. Very smooth and really tasty with some nutty and malty sweetness. I want more!

Oct 29, 2008 Bottle@LCRBM 2008. A hazy red/brown colored beer with a beige head. The aroma of dark fruits, with dark malts and hoppy. The taste of dark fruits like cherries with caramel, malty with some spices. The aftertaste is enjoyable bitter.

Oct 27, 2008 Bottle @ LCRBM 2008. Dark brown color.Grapes and vanilla in the aroma. Vinous flavor with grapes, roast, vanilla and pineapple. Very nice beer, but somehow I expected more of it.

Oct 26, 2008 Small beige rim left; foxy-red beer with a slight haze. Alcohol, nuts, brandy, Christmas cake nose. Some fusels and dried banana chips. Sweet, dried fruits, but with an unexpected short bitterish peak, neither hoppy, neither roasted. Retronasal greenery/cabbage flavour. Slightly fiery MF, medium bodied, alcoholwarming. Nowhere bad, but one that didn’t grace as well as might have been expected.

06 bottle.
Pours hazy brown, beige head.
Aroma is sugary, dark fruits and yeasty.
Taste, bottle was served at close to room temp. and wow if the alcohol and nice sugar flavors and fruits kicked in. Plenty of dark fruits (prune/cherry), nice candi sugar and malts.
A trully amazing old ale.
