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.

Blind tasting at Papsoe. Cloudy amber colour with a white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and sweet sugar. Funny flavour of malt, sweet caramel, hints of honey and siryp, ends up bitter and alcoholic-sweet.

Oct. 2006 - 2004 Version thanks to eaglefan538. Dark oak color pour, nice head. Strong aroma of caramel. Rich caramel flavor, warm flavor of alcohol, molasses, some fruitiness (cherries maybe?) and a touch of butter. Bitterness from the yeasties came out as it warmed. Complex, rich, spicy. Wonderful!

An aroma of raisins or other dried fruit. A light brown our with a hint lite brown head and lace. A flavor that is mostly fruit. Very good carbonation and mouthfeel. From old notes I almost gave up on finding this beer on the site.

2004 Bottle shared with Axilla at Lancaster Iron Hill. Poured an amber color with a beige head. Carbonation is very good. It looked like champagne with the way the light was shining through the glass. Taste was sweet with caramel and hints of nuttiness to it. Raisins and dark fruits were evident. Spices balanced well. Very nice.

From bottle, blind tasting at Papsoes - beer no 13. Pours hazy orange with a lacing off-white head. Astringent hoppy citric/herbal aroma. Dry. Flavour has a slight woody note to a medium dry malty aroma. Somewhat herbal. Finish holds a slight liqourice note to a rather dry finish without getting too bitter.
