Mar 3, 2009 Sampled during Cellar’s final beer tasting in St Paul, MN. From a 2001 vintage, pours a reddish amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates nearly clean. Aroma of caramel malt, some raisin, candy cigarettes with a hint of wintergreen. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some dark fruits, and some citrus. Finish is semi-dry with a slight gingerbread and caramel aftertaste. Amazing for a retired beer, this was Cellar’s final beer sold.

Nov 20, 2008 Pours apricot with a shalow head that disappears. Aromas of tart stone fruit. Medium nectar with good carbonation. Theres a mild sweet and tart component that plays off eachother. The finish is laiden with pine. I actually enjoyed this brew despite my preconceptions.

Sep 9, 2008 Vintage 2003. This brew didn’t offer me much. Some alcohol present in the aroma. I actually really liked the spiced carbonation, raison, caramel. Gross, rotten finish

Sep 7, 2008 2002 bottle - Incredibly deep beautiful very red amber body with the typical big bubbled beige Gales head; Super nose, deep full with very concentrated rose aromas super dense candy like, behind it tons of layers of malt warmer toffee caramel aromas, great; Super soft very well composed mellow totally balanced deep and very complex super interesting and very very pleasant body; moving smoothly into a finish that evolves over a very long time into fruity concentrated candy aromas, malt and a very fine tartaric bite. Another amazing beer from Gales, I am yet again very very impressed!
