Bottle - Vintage 2007? - Hazelnut and some dark toasted malts. Clear copper with a decent beige head. Sweet nutty notes and caramel. Over-carbonated, but held up well for the years. Not bad.

An old bottle shared by Todd tonight at the Christmas party, thanks for the opportunity! Foamed over as he opened it. Murky dark amber color with a good sized bubbly off white head. Aromas of raisins and sherry with a touch of cardboard. Light brown sugary malt backbone, light earthy yeasty flavors. Fared better than I would have expected given its age.

750ml bottle pours a hazy amber with some creamy, white head. Nose is malty, lots of yeast, wet blooming yeast, a little minty, roasted acorn squash, some salad dressing, dried orange peel. Flavor has some wood, mint, more roasted squash, some sunflower seed, heavy cork flavor, mild malt, heavy yeast. Clean finish. More than 10 years old and still holds up well.

Notes from 2005. +++ Sampled on cask at Sharp Edge Beer Emporium this beer poured a very dark brown color with a medium sized tan head that left a bit of lacing. The aroma was fairly strong chocolate, coffee and a hint of smoke. The flavor was a bit watery but had notes of roasted coffee and a bit of smoke. The smoke lingers. Thin and watery body. Ok.
