3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle from ’02-’04...pours a dark opaque brown with a thin tan head...decent retention and lacing given the age of the bottle. aroma is sweet and malty...roasty, candy sugar, chocolate, raisin. flavor is much like the aroma but more subdued and has tea-like qualities. mouthfeel is a little lively yet somewhat thin an watery...again likely due to the age of the bottle. decent enough for an extremely old bottle.

On tap. Passing through with my friend and she and I tried the christmas beer. We were told there are 2 new brewers on site, and that the previous brewer walked out. They said this year, they were going more for taste as opposed to alcoholic punch. The beer comes in at 7% abv. Pours with a finger of dark head, decent lacing. As the beer warmed up, the nose was more apparent. A slight molasses hint, decent mouthfeel, clean finish. A good beer
