750mL batch 23 bottled 2007, drunk 3/21/23. Well, this one was pretty much completely gone at this point. Given the 16 years, you can't really fault it, though I was hoping the oak-aging may give it some extra shelf life. It wasn't disgusting or anything, just caramel and vanilla oxidation with some light fruity esters (citrus, clove, white pepper) and a touch of alcohol warmth. Will leave this as a placeholder and rerate when I get a bottle of batch 69.

Bottle split at RB Best Encomium share, Santa Rosa, 30/01/16 - Many Thanks ! Hazed golden orange with a decent off white head. Nose is tarte fruits, caramel, spice, light funk, oak. Taste comprises fruit cake, tangy fruit rinds, light hop notes, funk, vinous note, fruit slice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Really solid for the style ... has obviosuly mellowed over time and masks the ABV well.

Bottle at Anchorage Sept ’14 Tasting: Poured a golden to copper with white head. Aroma was oak, strong fruit, and light bready. Taste was very boozy with strong fermented fruit, malts, and oak.
