To create its fine carbonation, we refermented the Toronado 25th Anniversary Ale in this bottle. Spent yeast cells form a thin layer of sediment in the bottom of this bottle. Pour slowly, allowing the natural yeast sediment to remain in the bottle.
From the label: The beer inside this bottle is for consumption only. This bottle is not a collectable bottle unless it is empty.

2012 bottle shared by ClarkVV. Nose is rich malt and red wine vinegar. Tastes of currants, vinegar, malty, raisins, oaky, red wine. Puckering sourness. Intense stuff.

750mL bottle drunk 8/28/25.
Clear, amber-cherry-copper. Small, off-white head quickly to ring.
Strong, rich, malty, acidic, some acetic, light currant but not too much acetic. Big barrel, big, rich malts and round, rich oak tannin.
Rich, soft, malty, strong and acidic. Mostly lacto thankfully, not vinegary acetic, but still very acidic and intense. Honey, biscuit, oak tannin all create a soft, round near syrupy body. This beer is intense as fuck, I can't even fathom this 13 years ago. Good Lord.

Bottle at share. Medium to dark amber, small ring of head. Aroma is fruity, grapes, some fo the tartness comes through in the nose. Taste too has mellowed nicely, smooth and pleasurable. Really nice.

crimson light red. Very hearty nose. Lots of cherry, muscadine and blackberry with some lemon and spices. Taste is great. Cloves, blackberry and currants. Cherry pie but heavy lemon. This is great. Not as great as trade value suggests
