Aromas are old resin hops with some other fruit. Flavors are better than nose, fruit comes on a lot stronger along with great balance between sweet, tart and bitter. Nice drinking beer at this point.

Aromas are mild molasses, roast, dark malt and a hint of cocoa. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, lean's slightly sweet with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Carbonation is slightly soft with good body. Molasses are toned down a bit with roast and cocoa coming out more. Decent bitter finish.

750ml bottle pours out straw color topped with a white head. Nose is nice tart grass yeast oak some funky cheese and citrus. Taste as the nose. This one must have gotten much better with age. Some of the old rates are pretty bad.

750ml bottle at share, 2014 vintage. Cloudy golden pour, fixxy off-white head. Aroma is very funky, pronounced yeaty notes, grassy, floral. Taste adds in some sharp cheese accents, citrus fruit and a decent amount of pucker. This has held up well in the cellar.

The aromas are black patent malt, cocoa, roast, molasses and a little vanilla. Flavors are similar to nose, bittersweet up front with a little cocoa in the finish and a hint of whiskey. Very rich. Good but not really my thing.

The Aromas are malt and cardboard. Amber blonde ... Strawberry blonde? Flavors are very slightly sweet tart with some fruitiness accentuated by carbonation. Kind of a meh beer.

From a bottle. Orange color and initially a tall head moderately sour. And some fruit flavor, and a little sugar as well. This has aged well.
