On tap at Belmont Station, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of dates, figs, some brown sugar and lots of oxidation. Flavour is along the same lines, with lots of dark dried fruits and brown sugar. A touch of oxidation and hoppy astringency on the finish. Nothing overly complex but it's fun to drink a rebrew of such an old beer. Good stuff.

On tap at Belmont station. Pours a clear reddish copper color with a small white head. A big sweet sticky fruity nose. The flavor is big sugary caramel, toffee, pine, big hops. Lovely. Such a treat to try.

GTMW 2015. Brown color, off white head. Lots of caramel, very sweet, also some bitter malt. Fairly thick palate, sweet finish, almost cloying.
