2005 vintage. 275mL bottle, courtesy of fiulijn (thanks a lot, Alex), pours a dirty dark brown with a tiny bubbly beige head. Aroma brings out notes of sherry oxidation, caramel, bready malts, and some dark fruits. Flavour brings out lovely tartness, without being infected, sherry oxidation, toffee and bready caramel malt. Despite the oxidation which seems to be intentional, this doesn't appear to have gone off in any sense. Lovely beer.

27,5 cl vax-top bottle vintage 2005 (BBE 12/2010) @ Ølfestival København 2012
Opened with a screw and pliers due to the lack of opener
Aroma is sour with cherries and earthy notes. Also some oak. No CO2 on palate. Flavour has redcurrants, some sour cherries and earthy notes. Dry finish with some warming alcohol. Quite different from the new Prize Old Ale.

Bottle 275ml vintage 2005 @ home
[Trade by Dedollewaitor] Pours dark brown with almost no head. Aroma is funky with notes of malt and caramel. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is flat.

2005 version at Plan B, Copenhagen. Dark ruby red colour, nice, misty. A complex heavy malty nose, raisins, very light acidic notes, weak chocolate, alcohol. Warming sweet raisiny balanced malty, rosehip, bit dry, vaguely acidic to balance everything out, almost a sublime sipper. Bitterish salty but light & well integrated aftertaste. Not my type of ale but I can see why this is so respected. 7/4/7/4/14 (19.9.2010)

’05 bottle Pours dark brown, no head. Aroma soja, malty, get some fruity and barel notes. Taste of soja, oaky with some nice fruity presence (apple) giving the beer a bourbon aspect (Calvados in this case). There isn’t much nice about the visual aspect of the beer, it is just too bad that there is close to no carbonation.
