Feb 22, 2009 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.

Jan 18, 2009 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.
