750 ml corked and caged bottle. 2007 Vintage purchased mail order directly from the brewery. Pour is a dense brown with slight hazel notes. Some ruby noticeable in the light as well. Nice thick one inch tan head. Decent lacing. Aroma of huge sweet malty caramel, toast, and ripe fruit abound. Under that is a big dose of floral honey and earthiness. Nice full and engaging nose. The taste is the caramelized maltiness of the nose and the floral. There is also a cooking brown sugar sweetness which is very warming. The fruit is present as well, but it is more dark cherry and honey than the generic ripe fruit of the nose. The floral dominates the finish, which is quite dry. Palate is medium, perhaps a bit thinner than i was expecting which actually made the flavors pop out a bit more for me. This is also quite dry, with a fair amount of carbonation. Nice one.
