Bottle - Vintage 2006 - Dark sugar, caramel, toffee, plum and a bit of raisin. Deep cloudy amber with no head. Molasses, toffee, raisin, chocolate and a caramel and booze finish. Very complex, no carbonation and very nice. Even in the small bottle, share it as it is a big beer. Vintage 2008 - Much more vibrant than 2006 with vinous notes and alcohol present. Different, but not better. Coloring is slightly lighter. Much like the nose the edges are more pronounced as is the alcohol. Again different but not better or worse. This is a great vertical as it shows how age mellows without really changing the taste profile.

Bottle from the Utobeer Stall in Borough Market. Pours hazy brown - liquified brown sugar. No head. Aroma of brown sugar and strange dark fruit. Full bodied. Flavor is brown sugar, prune and somewhat oxidized hop. It’s not dry, but it’s close enough. It’s just a little bitter. The oxidized materials fit my taste. The heat isn’t noticeable in the palate, but my head seems to have expanded a bit. Nice sipper!
