4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
2010 vintage. Dark brown/black pour with the aromas hitting me as soon as I cracked the bottle. Big aromas of malt, yeast, dried fruit, and oak. Really complex. The flavor doesn’t disappoint either, rich and robust. A really great brew, the oak aging seems to have brought out the best in this one!
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
2009 vintage - rated 6/12/13. Dark brown with meadium creamy lasting brown head. Fantastic rich and delicate aroma; sweet and complex; caramel, dark fruit, touch of alcohol, some spices, a bit of roasty/coffee. Flavor follows right through. Full body; luxurious, smooth and creamy. Supremely balanced. In comparison to the regular brew, this is more mellow malt presence with a definite woody character, adding a bit of dryness to the sweet/bitter/alcohol balance.

4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Draft of the 2009 vintage at a beer event at Eulogy in June 2013. Dark pour. Syrupy body. Lots of strong intense barrel aged goodness. The deep red fruit in the normal Pannepot has darkened and caramelized. Very, very rich! Brandied cherries. Caramel raisins. Vanila bourbon. Chocolate prunes. Notably higher alcohol than expected but the aging has smoothed out the finish. Tremendous!
