Sep 5, 2008 Sampled at RBSG ’08 Grand Tasting at Pizza Port Carlsbad. Another backlogged rating. Poured from bottle. Light amber color with a mild plum flavor with a bit of spice and cherry. Sweet vanilla and dark fruit flavors. Earthy maple and toffee notes shine underneath. Nice body. Really tasty stuff.

Aug 5, 2008 ’05 Bottle courtesy of Carl4beer. Pours a flat ruddy brown with no carbonation or head. The nose is full of dried fruits, caramel, brown sugar and malt. The flavor is not quite as complex or smooth as the nose, but you have to try the Oaked version!

Aug 4, 2008 Tasted from bottle at RBSG. I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time. I got a 2004 bottle from kp, but I can’t open it until 2025, when my son turns 21. Now I finally get to try it. Sweet, malty. Nice aged characteristics.
