From a corked 75 cl bottle from Andrew’s cellar. Pours a.ear
Deep copper with an ecru head. Aroma of caramel and dates. Flavors of dark fruits. Lots of boozy notes. Aged pretty well.

golden copper pour. smells very bitter. like raisins and pine cone. The bitterness is insane. lots of raisin and and pineapple. tons of tropical fruits. very resinous and full of citrus. perhaps the most juicy aged beer I’ve ever had. ABV is in full force. spices like cinnamon

750 ml bottle form Adams cellar. Ruby color with a crazy amount of head lacing the glass. Deep ruby color. The nose is still full of hops even after all this time. Dry hopping gone wild. West coast pine and light citrus with caramel and toffee. The blend of this brew is a bit odd. The dry hopping and the fresh pale ale portion of this beer really should have been consumed fresh. Dead hops float through this brew. Caramel and light hints of pine. Still a good sipper but I bet this peaked two years ago. Not a good brew to cellar. No doubt this was crazy good when it was released.

From bottle @ sbwf13. Dark mahogany, thick creamy white head. Lots of dark bread in aroma, heavily spiced, cardemum cake-like. Flavor has dark bready, malty with some nutty notes and the same spicyness. Buttery sweet finish. Interesting and good. Intensive.

On tap at belvidere on 02/03/2011. Mostly clear copper amber body with light reddish hints and a medium creamy off white head. Sweet floral and caramel aroma with some fruit. Sweet oak, vanilla, caramel, fruit and floral hop flavor. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.
