Bottle (2008 Vintage) at the RBESG 2011 Grand Tasting. Pours deep brown with a foamy, tan head. Sweet, dark malt nose with some ripe, semi-tart dark fruits. Flavor is very sweet. So fucking good. Rich, bready cake, light roast. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Nice roasted malt finish, some dark fruits, brown sugar. Excellent beer. Long may it stay in the Top 50. (4.6)
Bottle at The Stout Tasting, Part I in London - many thanks to Paul for sharing this one for comparison! Pours black-brown with a creamy brown head. Tangy raisin aroma, some dark wood. Medium to big sweet flavor with dirt, burnt wood, dates, raisins. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly warming finish, a bit tannic, with burnt earth, dark sugars, dark bitter chocolate. Outstanding stuff. Definitely stands up against the best of the best. (4.5)
