Bottle: Poured a hazy amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of light elderberry notes with light dry caramelized notes is OK. Taste is also a mix of light dry caramelized malt with some elderberries, light residual sugar and very subtle bourbon notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not a big fan of this one since I thought it lacked character.

Pours a golden-amber colour with very tiny particles through it. Frothy light-beige head with good retention and lots of lacing. Also lots going on in the aromas. All well-blended with notes of berries, mint, coffee, caramel and hints of vanilla-smoke from the bourbon barrels. The taste has some mild bitterness added to this. Light warming alcohol with some smooth darker malts. All very drinkable, so quite a nice stronger anniversary ale. Happy 30th Wellington !!

A dark reddish brown ale with a thin lacing creamy mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, licorice, alcohol warmth, grassy hops, pleasant. In mouth, a nice caramel malt with dark fruits, resinous hops, alcohol warmth, OK.
