Bottle, ginormous thanks Brandt. 2007 vintage!!! Enormous aroma, huge dry brown sugar aroma, dusty raisins... Hah! Caramelly and brown sugar taste, very well integrated aroma, heaps of bitterness though, oxidation evident, some candied orange is the mre somewhere... Oooh, for something almost 20 years of age, this is nice! (That's what he said hurr hurr hurr.)

2016, huge thanks Brandt for sharing with us! Clearish shiny amber body, off-white head. Caramel, low vanilla and heaps, HEAPS of dried figs, with a remarkable amount of spearmint. Lean, dry, fresh taste, lemon and spearmint, very dried out, not much barrel, but this was nice, bit funky. And still holding up nicely!

Bottle, 2014 vintage. Pumpkin spice aroma of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and allspice as well as having notes of vanilla, caramel, pumpkin, oak, bourbon and booze. Pours deep brown with a thin tan head that has good retention and some lacing. Starts with with caramel, pumpkin, oak and vanilla flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick smooth mouthfeel. Finishes quite smooth with the flavors of the aforementioned pumpkin spices, bourbon and a fairly heavy amount of warming booze. Great pre-thanksgiving beer.

12oz can from Pilgrim's Market. Deep golden pour, creamy, tight white head. Aroma is equal parts caramel malts and citrusy/pine hops. Taste is rich toffee, juicy hops. An old school DIP for sure that still holds up.

Bottle at share. Dark brown pour with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is sour, vinous. Taste is sour with some notes of pit fruit and a large amount of pucker.

A thickly laced off white head on an appealing orange/amber body. Nose has a touch of booze, sweet malt and candied fruit. This is a smooth taste profile. Sweet malt, raspberry jam, citrus hops, and caramel blend together nicely. Slightly slick and sticky mouth feel. A superior, easy drink

A dense off white head on a luminous, unfiltered caramel coloured body. The nose is fresh and pungent, featuring tangerine rind, apricot, funky yeast, sweet caramel malt and some alcohol. A really slick, rich, dense and delicious quad. Candied fruit, rich caramel, Belgian yeast, tangerine, tangerine rind, sweet berries, spice, figs and apricots are all in play here. A touch of sourness keeps the taste experience fresh and refreshing.
