500 ml bottle number 78542 thanks to Eric- a 10 year old ESA! Pours a dark brown/red color with a medium white head. A rich malty nose, sweet sherry and smoke. A very nice flavor of sweet sherry, rich earthy malts, caramel, loads of delicate port like flavors. Very nice. I think this was my favorite vintage yet.

Dec 15, 2009 Bottle at the brewery, sampled Dec 2009.
Dusty hops, sweet malt. All the edges have been rounded off, just a smooth, sweet elexir. Over the top? Sure. But still a lovely liquor-like drink that is highly drinkable. But, on the other hand. I don’t think storing it longer will do much good. Not that this has been stored in optimal condition!

Nov 20, 2009 Nose of sweetness, light smokiness (hope it’s not from the firepit), toffee, woodiness, and light stronmg white wine. Clear copper with a small cream head. Flavor is light toffee, very lightly preserved bitterness, and sherry (as much as I hate to admit a brewers description is observable n the beer/.
