Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned.
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.

At OT’s 2009 winter sale. A bottle of 2004. Lively foam. An amber/cupper color. Caramell aroma and also in taste with a good balanced bitterness. Amazingly fresh after 5 years.

very nice orange/copper pour. Great english ale aroma. Lots of sweet bready malts, and some great english pungent hops. Flavor is quite hoppy, lots of quality pungent english hops, they taste quite a bit like goldings. There is some nice fruit, and yeastiness to this beer, its really quite nice. i enjoyed it.

Bottle (12.7oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours orange-copper with tons of floaties and a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt, honey and fruit. Fruity, malty flavour along with light hops -- tastes better then it smells. Light bodied. It’s just alright.

(375ml bottle) Purchased at Spinnakers Spirit Merchant in Vic West. Pours a thin, creamy white head atop a clouded, copper body. Mildly alcoholic nose, warm malt.. Leaf tobacco, some grit, minor hops in the finish. Pretty good stuff - especially from Australia. 7/4/8/4/14

Bottle. Shared with blankboy and garthicus. Purchased at Discount Liquors, May 2007. Slightly hazy amber, very small off-white head. Mild sweet aroma, citrus, some alcohol. Taste - same - some alcohol and herbal bitterness, but pretty bland. Light body, not much carbonation - not much of anything, really - this has broken down into a bit fat bottle of nuffin’

Thanks to HogTownHarry, shared with Blankboy and I. Appearance: Light golden orange with a small head. Aroma: malt, winter fruit, honey, tobacco?. Flavour: Malt, caramel again, slight alcohol, slight hops, long dry finish. Don’t overly care for this.
