This is a 2014 vintage. Medium brown, with just a thin head. There's a lot of deep fruitiness, with a bit of alcohol, some sort of mushroomy notes and hints of nuttiness. I am not sure what this was like when it's fresh, but it has some interesting notes at this age. Light body, and some decent complexity.

2014 vintage. 22 oz. bottle, pours a murky dark brown with a reddish hue and a medium beige head. Nose is very oxidized, with lots of toasted caramel, burnt toast, and cardboard. Flavour is likewise indicative of being past its prime, with caramel, bready malt, and cardboard. Very malty and oxidized. Not too pleasant at this point.

Draft - Big malty grains almost Barleywine like. Clear caramel with a decent white head. Big grainy malts, sweet caramel and a long sweet malty finish. Really nice with a long sweet caramel finish. Desert in a glass.
