- Dated 2004
I must have had this beer in my cellar for 2 years… and just finally got around to drinking it.
Pours a rusty brown body and a tall rocky slightly off white head. The aroma and flavor offer especially earthy suggestions of toffee, honey-nut wheat bread, and a dusty sort of yeasty-ness. There was some mildly fruity mention of dates and plums, accompanied by a nutty finish. The palate had a pleasant effervescence, spritzy, with a mildly sweet biscuity finish. A rather good brew, but nothing too exciting overall.
