| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2009 Updated: Jul 8, 2009Bottle, gracefully aged since January, 2008. Aroma of very bready malt, toffee citrus notes, maybe a hint of pine. Flavor continues with the rich toffee and bready malt and does in fact still retain a fair amount of juicy hop bitterness even at this late date. Medium-bitter, medium-sweet finish. Nice stuff, would probably love it fresh...So now I had it fresh on tap at ACBF, and it tasted much the same...no longer feeling compelled to give it credit for some age, I’ll say that it’s quite sweet and heavy and not letting the hops poke through much at all. Some medium-dark fruits. Odd amber. chandler0201 (358), Durham, North Carolina, USA
