Aromas are dark malt, figs, raisins, dates - lots of dark rape fruit. Flavors are similar to nose add in some toast with very good balance between bitter, sweet and carbonation. To me so far this is the best of the series. Really good.

[2012 Vintage] 12oz bottle. Pours murky brown with a white head. Caramel malts and grassy, piney malts on the nose; definitely some oxidization. Flavour has a similar hop profile, grass and hops, cardboard, bready malts. This is nice, I'm very suprised the hops have lived this long, definitely aged. Good, but definitely suffering for the age.

Caramely malty and heavy with toffee and syrupy notes. Quite well aged and tasty vintage
