2004. Pours a dark golden hue with a small white head. A big malty oxidized nose. Sweet, toffee, caramel, fruity, though I suspect that has subsided. Quite nice.

Small bottle at Doug's Christmas party. Pours clear brown with a small off-white head, no lacing. Toffee, raisins, leather. Ok, pay is prime though.

Small bottle. Amber color. malty aroma with raisin and seaweed. Malty sweet, slaty flavor with licorice and raisin. The sweetness hides the alcohol somewhat. Thick body and mouthfeel. In spite of its high ABV this is a fairly well balanced beer, brewed with top quality ingredients.

Bottle shared at GBBF 2015, day 2 - London. Thanks, Daniel. Vintage uncertain, perhaps from the 1980s. Pours clear golden-copper with a slight, bubbly white head. The nose holds dank ripe fruits, toffee, faint earth, leaves, damp wood. Medium sweet flavor with lots of musty old wood, caramel, figs and nips of alcohol. Full bodied, oily and chewy, with soft carbonation. Warming finish, with further notes of old fruits and caramel. Has aged relatively well. Still some interesting characteristics to be had here.

Bottle at GBBF 2015. Oloroso sherry aroma. Oxidised. And frankly terrible. Some toffee ugh.

Bottle at GBBF 2015 day 2. Thanks! Aroma is minty, caramel, dried jammy fruits. Some age on the nose. Hazed golden copper brown coloured pour with no head. Flavour is composed if musty mouldy wood, mint, alcohol, caramel toffee. Bit age on the this.palate is syrupy. Sweet, low to Bo carbonation. Fun to try.

Bottle big thanks to Dan. Age unknown... It pours clear brown with a small white head. The toasty, musty, meaty, wood, leather, oxo cubes, gravy and spice. The taste is rich, oily, leather, wood, so very drying, alcohol boost, dirt and dry leaves with a very dry finish. Medium body, low carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Smells very interesting but too dry and boosty. Fun to try.
