[3 years vintage - thanks for making this happen Anne] Deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of plums and caramel. Sweet and malty flavor with overripe plums and caramel. Somewhat oxydized but otherwise ages very good.

Bottle at Kookfest 06. Amber, bubbly off white head. Yeasty aroma, highly carbonated, has some caramel. Some hop on end. It’s fine. Some drinkability.

Draught at an awful karaoke pub in CBD, Melbourne (WTF was I doing there?). Pale amber. Sweet with some Pride of Ringwood hops in the nose. Dusty and fruity with clean mouthfeel and low-medium bitterness. Not much better (if at all) than VB.
