Oct 26, 2005 Tasted 10/14, right in the middle of a smoke beer tasting. What a deserved break. Vintage 2002 (4 Oct)--I don’t really remember why I wrote the Oct thing, but for some reason I felt, at the time that it was important. 375 ml bottle. Raisins, plums, caramel, sugar in the nose. Gold-orange hue. Off-white head. Good spotty head retantion. Sweet malt flavor. Alcoholic sweet, sticky and delicious! Still good carbonation.

Oct 24, 2005 This makes me think of an alt and a barleywine together. Certainly a nice beer, found at the great place known as the Freaking Frog in Las Vegas. I think this was 2004, but maybe 2003.

Oct 10, 2005 If you ever decide to drink it from the bottle (not that you experts would) look our for the foil. Its not your standard aussie beer.

Oct 6, 2005 Sampled at RBESG 2005 - vintage 2004.
Pours an ugly muddy color with a fluffy off-white head. Malty and earthly aroma with a dusty and somewhat fusty edge. Dry and rancid flavor of malt, yeast and spices with little alcohol present. Ordinary.
