Brewed with choice malts and an extended top fermentation. This naturally conditioned ale experiences interactions between the robust malt, hop and yeast characteristics, to exhibit an intriguing journey of flavour development over a period of five years when stored under cellar conditions.

Bottle RBESG. Banana aroma! Pretty thin and watery. Malts, some herbs in the flavor. But a dry experience.

Hazy amber with a rich white head. Bubbly CO2 content. Brown taste. Overfermented/matured. Fruity vanilla belgian aftertaste. Quite thin body for this strength.

375 ml bottle, 2004 edition. Dark brown, cloudy, with a thin white head. Very sweet brown sugar, caramel and honey aroma. Fruity yeastiness as well. Loads of spice from the yeast. Flavour is also sweet and malty, honey, cookie dough. A bit of tapioca and custard flavour as well. Some almondy sweetness.

Pours a dark reddish amber color with a small head. Aroma is kind of malty and hoppy. the flavor is sweet wwith a bit of bitterness to it.

i had no idea what to expect when i saw this in the store. i just thought "hm vintage = barley wine (usually), so what the hell." pours out dark red in color. smells malty, hoppy, and sweet. taste is really good. very smooth drinking, and a nice sweet taste. really a good beer from this company, way better than their stout. one of the finer examples of this style that i have had.

Dark orange-amber, no real head to speak of. Sweet caramel aroma, raisins, maybe molasses? Sweet palate up front, caramel and dates, slightly bitter finish keeps this balanced. Very nice.

opaque bunt orange color with white thin head. smells like apricots, apple, pear juice, sugar, maple syrup. flavor was very carbonated, clean, lemon pledge kind of taste. acidic, dry, quick disappearing fruit flavors but the malt and yeast kind of stick around for desert. pear ,apples, white grapes, brown sugar, barnyard sawdust and hay. and yes b, haha circus midgets. :)

<font face="times new roman">Muddy brown-red-yellow hue topped with a quickly fading foamy, off-white head. The carnival is in town! A young child eagerly paws at his mother for a caramel apple. Faded and dusty tents litter the fairground. Slightly stale peanuts are sold by the bag. Middle of the road sweetness and acidity throughout with only a touch of bitterness showing through in the end. Slick, oily, carbonated apple juice...now with Carny goodness.
