Mar 7, 2009 [Vintage 2007] Tap @ Barleywine and Big Beer Fest... Poured a dark burgundy with a thin white head. Aroma of yeast and diary-like, candy sugars. Mildly carbonated palate. A lot of cocoa flavors and rich malt characters and some ash or chalky flavors. It had gotten a little dry towards the finish.

Oct 15, 2007 GABF 2007. A smooth, chocolatey palate. Reminiscent of Iron Hill Old Ale. A nice change of pace from the IIPA and imp stout overload of the fest. Very good.

Mar 26, 2007 I was compelled to return for the second day of the tastival because of this beer. Brewer Tonya Cornett is renowned for her killer brews and this 2006 orange-copper old ale was no exception. Small nose, medium white head, dark bodied and quite malty was this scrumptious brew.
