Golden pour, small head that quickly fades to nothing.Aroma is very tame, with some cereal and a very faint hint of hops, and some skunk.Sweet sugary malt and corn makes up the taste. Very low bitterness.Light mouthfeel with huge carbonation.Boring, but does a good job at being inoffensive.

1999 Vintage. Dark cloudy mahogony color. Dark cherries, port and plums in the nose. Definete oxidization, though doesn’t distract too much from the beer. The mouth is a bit thin, sour and portish with a faint hint of milk chocolate. Lingering port finish. Not bad, but drink now as this beer is on its way downhill.

(Can 37,5 cl) Clear, golden with a dense, white head leaving laces. Weak aroma of sweet malts. Light in body with a very soft mouthfeel, sweetish malt accents, but no cardboard or metal flavours as often in this style. No bitterness. Harmless and drinkable. I believe this is my first rating on a flight! 210108

I am not sure it is fair to put this review in as there is a good chance the problem is my poor cellaring, then again maybe it is a comment on the life of this beer (it is now 8 years), so I will. My bottle had 1999 on it, I recall buying it around the millennium - I kept it upright with the wine, in the dark in the living room, but with no special care wrt temperature (not carefull cellaring, but not exactly negligent). It poured dark reddish brown with no head. The palate was medium bodied with little carbonation (indicating a problem with storage I think). The aroma was mixed - mainly nice caramel and raisin but with a woody / strong tea note. Unfortunately the off notes in the aroma dominate the flavour - I can’t describe it adequately but I assume it is stale / oxidised. And if the flavour is this bad it’s pretty much undrinkable.
