Another great beer from Valley Brew. Sweet malty aromas and flavors. Caramel brown sugar and touches of fruitiness. Nice

Bottle, sampled at Woodshop Quad, thanks to AgentSteve! Pours a clear dark reddish-brown with a white ring. Rich sweet aroma, of fruit, cherries, malt, and pine. Big sweet and sharp taste, of malt, pine, herbs, and berries. Lingering sweet sharpness. Really tasty.

Bottle from AgentSteve (via Steve the brewer) tried at at Woodshop Quad. I think one of 3 bottles left in existence, with the other two being held by the brewer. Amber color. Malty. Mellowed, but not obvious oxidation. Possible a small hint of sour, but not unpleasant.
