Definitely get the green tea and ginger, though the ginger isn't overwhelming.

The flavor was sweet, honey, bready, boozy, almost pretzel and moderate golden fruits. Long boozy golden fruit finish. Full body. Solid.

750 ml corked and caged bottle. Pours an opaque dark brown color. Moderate sized creamy tan head disappates slowly. Aroma has notes of coffee, molasses and licorice. First sip yields coffee and molasses notes. Bittersweet chocolate lingers on the tongue in the midtaste. Resiny hops in finish. Some tangy yeastiness throughout. Lacks the intensity and complexity typical of high quality Imperial Stouts. Good, not great.

2010 vintage being busted out by jcwattsrugger, thanks for sharing this with the group! Dark brown color without any head obviously. The aroma is burnt caramel, raisin, earthy malt without any noticeable oxidation of the nose.
The flavor on the other hand does show oxidation but not really bad, just a touch of cardboard. The dark fruit tones (sugar covered figs) with English toffee and old butterscotch hints. The body is on the fuller side with the alcohol completely hidden. Very nicely cellared.
