Jun 12, 2008 DFW Tasting 6/8/08 Thanks to Bu11zeye for sharing! This beer poured an amber color with a thin head. Not too much to say about this one. It was o.k. but not great. Cheers!

Jun 11, 2008 Amber colored with an ok head. Smell is fruits, sweet, caramel, and maple sugar. Taste is about the same as the smell just a touch plainer. Medium body and sticky. Very good.

May 31, 2008 750mL bottle split with bologna. Pours hazy, cloudy dark red body with small off-white head. Some lacing. The aroma is dark fruit - prunes and raisin. The taste is malt, barley, and some strong alcohol.

May 9, 2008 In short: A rich caramelized yet very fruity juicy beer. Excellent.
How: 750ml bottle, 4 years old (2004 vintage). Tasting session on my roof with Montreal crew
The look: Cloudy orange-copper body with a medium beige head
In long: Luxuriant full body with a crunchy rich caramel flavour. Toffee, citrus fruits and apricots join in. That beer skilfully mix an almost decadent maltiness with a juicy hopping. Some earthy notes. An overall extra smooth feeling despite the heavy flavour profile. Yet another Old Ale that is different from just about all other Old Ale I’ve had, I really don’t get that style but this beer was excellent. It was a 2004 bottle drank in 2008, I guess that makes it a Very Old Ale.

Mar 27, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA, I think he said 2004? Funky, cheesy aroma, dank and sweaty. A bit oxidized, sherry, grape, light mint malt. Age has beat this one down a little. Could be much better fresh.
