Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled 12/2023). Very dark brown with almost no light beige head. Dry oak, chocolate, mild whiskey underlay and hint of vanilla, a bit too much boozy harshness. Decent.

7.9/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Poured from 355mL bottle. Dark brown with small off white head. Lots of oak, the DDBA bitter comes out in the taste (not sure if I like that), dark dried fruits, touch of sticky molasses, decent, but not my favourite of the anniversary ales.

6.6/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured from 330mL bottle (bb 09/02/2023+5yrs). Chestnut brown with small light beige head. Aroma of dried dark fruits with a very feint phenolic bandaid note. Taste swaps the intensity - a bit more plastic phenol with mild dark dried fruit. Luckily the plastic bandaid is minimal, mostly hidden. Average.
