Courtesy Beerlando. Mild herbal hops at first. Wheaty minty bready malts. Fresh cotton scent? Seemingly floral. Cloudy gold color. Light foaminess. Neat combo of pie crust, pastry dough, spice and light apricot fruitiness. Really light but full flavored. Mild tartness. Sublime.

Bottle, shared by papsoe. It pours a hazy brown body under a quite small beige head. The beer is probably past it’s prime, but still in good condition, even though there’s evident oxidation in both aroma and flavor. It has a malty, roasted aroma and flavor with dried fruits and caramel. A little sourish touch towards the finish, which is malty and caramel tasting. Full to medium body and pleasant level of carbonation. A nice beer that is hard to categorize. (080822)

Brewed in 2005, 2006 bottle release. 750 ml bottle generously shared by beastiefan2k. Pour is mostly clear, ruby brown with a small off white head. Aroma is soft malt, baking bread; very engaging and gentle nose. Taste is the malt up front - sweet and soft, some mild wood in the middle, finishing with a touch of heat. Really no signs of age on this one, other than the softening of the malt. Palate is silky, medium to heavy bodied - light soft carbonation. Nice one, thanks for sharing this Eugene, one of the highlights of the night. (9,4,8,3,16 - 4.0)
750 ml bottle courtesy of willblake. Pour is hazy ruby cordovan brown. Fizzy off white head falls fairly fast leaving behind only specs of lacing. Aroma of stale cardboard and some vinegar notes initially. As it warms, some currant fruit, honey and sweet raisins comes out. Also, the wood becomes very present Taste is very soft, floral, sweet honey raisin fruit and some alcohol heat towards the end. There is a bit of woody saltiness in the taste as well, along with mild black pepper. Interesting and complex. Thanks for sending me this one way back when, Jon, just off the charts generosity. (6,4,8,4,14 - 3.8)
