Rated Aug. 2024. 2021 vintage poured up on tap at Tipsy where it exhibits a mahogany colored body that supports a decent enough tan head of foam. The aroma offers up smooth integrated notes of plum and date dark fruity esters as well caramel, a bit of molasses and then supple soft barrel treatment notes leading to some booziness. The taste delivers smooth reduced sugars blended into integrated plum and date and some sherry sweetness. To midway the supple barrel notes bubble up providing additional depth and goodness. This is a terrific sipper that maintains a silky smoothness countered with a boozy warmth bite.

Boozy but not heavy though still a bit of a sipper. Has some honey overtones.

Aromas are mainly malt and spice. Flavors are similar to nose, slightly on the sweet side with enough bitter and carbonation to balance. Satisfying. Good beer.

Bright gold with a huge foamy white head that lingered. Yeasty and a bit musty with lemon, lavender and perfume. Long finish. Medium body.

Another one that sat in my fridge for too long probably but hey it's not bad. Just a bit more roasty than I'd like and a tiny bit of a weird nose. Tons of chocolate and marshmallow notes though.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black smal brown head. Aroma is spices, some cinnamon, curry and mild tobacco. Flavour is sweetish sour tobacco, and a bunch of spices. And some wooden strangeness. Strange, but I don't know, in a rather twisted way.
