Bottle, courtesy of tderoeck (thanks a lot, Tim), pours a dark amber with a small beige head. Aroma is very oxidized and cardboard-like, with some spices (cinnamon), and light tartness. Flavour brings out lots of Christmas spices, light oxidation, and light tartness. Probably off by a couple of years, but this is still acceptable.
