Sampled @ ChrisO Pre-GBBF Shindig. 2012 Vintage bottle 62/200. Opaque dark brown to black color, medium sized beige head. Aroma is malts, a hint of tart dark fruits, brown malts, a bit oxidised. Tastes about the same, I don’t have anything to add really apart from a slight touch of alcohol. Medium body and carbonation. Decent.

Bottle split at the Farewell to Bruce’s Pad Tasting, from the brewery, 27/03/15 #75/200. Light black topped with a decent tan swirl. Nose is pine, candied fruit peel, earthy hop presence, grapefruit, spice, charred notes. Taste comprises roast malt, touch of booze, grapefruit, pine needle, charr, earthy hop, touch of chocolate, tar. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Whilst ageing has done nothing to improve this beer it’s still a decent enough CDA.

Swan Song at Bruce’s. Opaque dark brown beer, good tan head. Airy palate, semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Soft dark malts, trace of cream. The hops are pretty reasonable. Pine, sweetish pine, mild bitterness and a little citrus. Semi dry finish. The hop character is reasonably well preserved but I don’t get the whole ageing/vintage character here.
