Apr 4, 2008 2003 vintage, No 015371. Pours red/brown, with absolutely no head or carbonation. Aroma is incredible, the most rich smelling beer I’ve ever encountered...odor of figs, dark fruit, molasses. Very sweet initial taste, syrupy mouthfeel. I’m blown away by the aroma, but not used to a beer with no carbonation at all, too syrupy and strong for me. Interesting, although I’m a bit disappointed...

Apr 3, 2008 2006 vintage- I gave this a try on a recomendation by a friend. Poured a very dark brown very slight carbonation. It had a a nice aroma of rasins and dried apricot, hints of molasses and some carmel. I was not a huge fan of this one, it was very sweet and had a powerful flavor of rasins,prunes and some eathiness to it. It finished with a huge taste of alcohol and a big burn on the finish. a little too much for me,,but given time this one will mature nicely.Great for after dinner or instad of a port.

Mar 28, 2008 ...I don’t remember the vintage date, but this was a waste of the 5 dollars I spent on such a small bottle. Overwhelming molasses flavor, thick, syrup-like. Over roasted, just plain horrible. I hate this beer. I will never waste my money on this trash again, what a disappointment.

Mar 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2008Bottle of 2004 edition. Pours a dark red/brown with a thin beige head. The aroma is really nice; super sweet hints of candy, some burnt brown sugar, and dark fruit. The taste is mostly a really sweet and thick caramel, brown sugar, cherry, raisin, and other sweet things. There is also some light hops. No alcohol burn, but some warmth. Not bad at all, but a dessert beer for sure.

Mar 24, 2008 Bottle (vintage 2005): A bit unclear, deep ruby-amber coloured, no head to speak of; rich sweet-vinous fruitiness (cherries, blackcurrant) in the aroma, not far from a Port; full seet flavour, full bodied; warming alcohol in the long sweet finish, ending with traces of chocolate and dry hops in the aftertaste. A good Port, made of barley.......
