| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Pours mostly clear deep amber (one of the first pours). Thin diminishing head to nothing. Aroma is fruity, only light oxidation, light esters, no fusels for such a high abv- moslty malty. Good thick malt presence and tons of caramel with a little ox. I think this one was almost as good as the 00 I had a couple months ago. hopdog (5591), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of oxidized sherry, dried fruits, citrus, a bit of hops, with caramel malts, and some vanilla oakiness. Taste of more sherry, dark fruits, citrus, tobacco, resin, with vanilla, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Thanks Walt! TomDecapolis (3174), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
