Finally getting to one of my12-oz. 2012 bottles. There is some oxidation in the nose, yes. Slightly hazy but deep brown. Yes, some oxidation in the palate, too, but that's no worse than I could expect. Still some nutty roast malt. Some spice still swimming around.

Sweet, spice is there but hidden. A little sneaks out now and again. Good this year
