Keg at the brewery, 1/14/23. Tried three vintages. Some variation, but each year is the same recipe. Other than the cherry version and maybe one or two others over the years. Tried 2019, 2021, and 2023. All were amber to brown with a slight haze. Similar aroma across all three. Cherry, dates, toffee. Some apple in the 2019 and some earthiness in the 2023. Taste is much the same across all three, with some herbaceous notes in the 2023. Probably the notes that fade as it ages. Overall all warming with mild booze. Nice beer. Score is a combination of all three. 2023 1st place, 2021 second, 2019 third.
