2018 Vintage: Deep, pretty muddied and opaque red and muddied hazy brown coloured body with a nice, but relatively fast-dying tan head that starts off at about a single centimetre and doesn't show much on top after a few seconds. Aroma of rich raisins, pitted fruits, figs, earth, nuts and caramelised sugars with a nutty and grainy scent as well, but the pungency from the pitted fruits and caramelised sugars are the strongest here in the nose. Medium-bodied; Very strong sweetness from the pitted fruit and caramelised sugars shows up at first with a big earthiness as well along with a slight bitterness and pungency from the alcohol still at play here. Aftertaste shows the strength of the malts coupled with the rather rich earthy and nutty flavours along with the pitted fruits that leave a lot of the residual sugars here at the finale. Overall, a pretty nice and very rich, much earthier, nuttier and sweeter than I expected, beer throughout that has a enjoyable complexity and a great body here. I sampled this twelve ounce, foil-sealed, bottle purchased from Vintage Sellers in Great Falls, Montana on 18-June-2019 for US$2,34 (on sale), as part of the 2018 Vintage, sampled at my house here on the other side of the country in Washington on 24-July-2022, a bit more than 3 years after purchase.
