Dec 3, 2007 Bottle. Ratebeer Christmas in Oshawa, December 2007. Brown body, with a smallish beige head (3+). Big fruity aroma, pitted fruit not quite cherries. (7+) Sweet flavour has mild version of the same fruit character, underlying brown sugars and caramel malt. (7+) Smooth medium palate could use a touch more carbonation. (3+) Quite nice.

Dec 3, 2007 Xmas in Oshawa. Thanks! Chestnut brown, thin white head. Nose is caramel, bubblegum, yeast, fruit. Nice & rich. Flavor is caramel, yeast ,butterscotch, dark fruits. Butterscotch at the finish grows and grows. Some slight alcohol tingles. Really nice but maybe a hint too much body. Some cocoa in the finish.

Hazy red-amber color; creamy head. A hint of oak and vanilla in the aroma. Medium body, with a fresh caramel flavor, milky, quite sweet, lightly oaked, correct bitterness, warming alcohol in the end; not complex enough. Very pleasant.

Dec 2, 2007 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of kmweaver. Slightly hazy, orangey brown with a beige head. Aroma of fruit, a little wood and a whiff of yeast. Full body with rich, sweet, roasted malts. Lightly vinous with a little overripe fruit. Even notes of sherry. Subdued bitterness. Another elegant offering from Captain Lawrence. 301107

Nov 23, 2007 Updated: Dec 13, 2008deftim13 brought this 1 yr old bottle to the Lost Abbey Older Vis release. Thanks Tim! Dark amber. 1 yr old. Medium bubbles. Big head. Champagne mouthfeel from heavier carbonation. That was fun. A little tart finish. Bill says it is the beginnings of an acetobacter infection. It’s barely noticable at this point. A little orange peel bitterness. Pretty easy to drink. Was going to give it a 3.8, but my numbers added up to 3.7.
Rerate at Alesmith BA ON Release: 3.8
