Bottle. Awful. Nice gold color. Soda pop bubbles. Smells like cheap wine. Tastes like PGA and cool aid and beer. Yuck.

Sampled at the June THT. Clear caramel pour with no head. Notes of caramel, alcohol, dried fruit, sherry. A bit too boozy but surprisingly decent. I think 5 years of age worked in favor of the beer.

7 3 6 3 13 Bottle shared at THT thanks to mariuspoenari. 5 years old. Clear dark golden with short lasting white head. Marzipan, caramel, cognac, light sherry, light bread, alcohol, oxidized old fruits. Over medium sweet and alcoholic bitter. Full bodied with lots of alcohol. Not bad at all, the age probably helped a lot.

BOTTLE 50 CL. Clear brandy color, zero retention head. The aroma is pretty much Oloroso sherry, dry and oxidized, oily and nutty. The flavour is there as well, dry and oxidized, with just a hint of sweetness, just a bit if residual cereals, a bit thin and with a slight hint of paper in the finish. After six year in the bottle, it just not the beer it was supposed to be. It tastes like Oloroso and I like sherry.

Shared 16.9 oz. bottle. Been avoiding this one for quite some time; I guess it’s time to face the music. Pours a hazy medium amber with a small, short-lived and listless off-white head. Aroma is brown sugar, caramel, syrup, and acetone. Taste is super-sweet and malty. Very cloying. Brown sugar, syrup, and caramel. More acetone with perhaps a little rubbing alcohol. Low carbonation. Cloying, alcohol-laden finish. I gagged on the 4th or 5th small sip; that calls for an automatic sub-one rating in my book. Drain pour.

What the hell am I drinking. I have had this bottle for years, looking for a reason of punishment for opening it. Tcon and I decided that if the Mariners couldn’t win on opening day, to continue their opening day dominance, than we have to pick a bottle that we would likely regret. Dusted this off. I’m sure I originally got this for the Romania tick. Some good coming out of this. Copper orange pour with no head. This has to be some sort of weird beer style that I’ve never had. Aroma is a weird, brown sugar, caramel spice infused malt. Flavor is an overly sweet, watered down malt liquor. Pretty dominant brown sugar element, but watery and boozy both. Ick.
