750, corked, baled, and foiled. Thanks, T! Pours a cloudy, ruddied dark brown, with scant ruby highlights. Thin, moussy film. Huge buttery, nutty, caramelly, strawberry, and balsamic nose. Medium body with soft woolly carb, but still plenty of it after three years. Sweet dark pitted tree fruit, nuts, balsamic, and strawberry on the mid-palate. Long nutty finish. Wonderful.

Dark red pour with a big beige head. The aroma is spicy and vinous with notes of grapes, sweet dark bread, tobacco and brown sugar. Very layered with a bit of age/oxidization starting to show. Sweet and malty with figs, tobacco, grapes, plums, prunes, brown sugar. Smooth with medium carbonation and a little alcohol warmth. I thought this was doing very well at the time. It was pretty damn good.

750mL bottle, courtesy of jjpm74. Thanks, John! Pours a murky, brownish color; light-tan head with patchy lacing. Toasty aroma, showing nougat, milk chocolate, and sweet bready malts. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy breadiness, brown sugar, maple syrup, and sweet maltiness at the core; slight oxidation; very chewy caramel and sweet brown sugar maltiness. Messy, chewy quad. Lengthy finish: brown sugar, sweet malts, and breadiness.

Bottle@Dr.Bills Pours dark redish brown with a bubbly thin head. Slight sour smell. Starts out sweets with figs and chocolate and then drys up at the end to make one very drinkable brew.
