Thanks to argo0 for sharing. Pours a hazy with some yeast chunkiness, deep fruit juicy amber with a fizzy bubbly head. Aroma is oxidized fruits, over-ripe plums and peaches, raisin, soy oxidation, sweet caramel malts and orangey citrus yeastiness with light alcohol. More oxidation in the flavor, some soy, weird paper astringency, very tannic, and grape-skinny, fruity esters, grapefruit and orange rind- and more old malty sweetness. Finishes a bit oxidized and metallic.

Jul 15, 2008 750mL bottle, from 2002, sampled at the 1st Annual Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a hazy reddish orange with a small off-white head. Nose is slightly oxidized with some tart red fruits, caramel, a bit of brown sugar. Flavor is also slightly tart, but not altogether in a bad way, with some dark fruits and oxidation.

Jul 13, 2008 750mL bottle, from 2002, sampled at the 1st Annual Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, courtesy of argo0. Thanks, Aaron! Pours a dark, clear orange-amber color; creamy light-tan head with mixed-bubbled lacing. Lots of caramel, dried dark fruits, and honeyed sweetness in the aroma; well-oxidized and soft. Relaxed carbonation. Lots of dried caramel, acidity citrus, and dark fruits / raisins; messy, sweet beer with lots of chewy oxidation; decent enough; pleasant candy sugar and acidity fruitiness; reasonable. Medium finish: dark fruits, citrus, and bread.

Apr 29, 2008 btl shared by Springslicker. A very cherry aroma for me. Golden brown pour with gooey clinging white head and lace. Very tart cherry flavor. A semi sweet start and a semi dry finish. Light sourness that mark it as very unique. Carbonation a bit aggressive for me. Again a very unusual beer that was a real pleasure to drink. thanks again Jay for sharing another beer I never expected to see a full bottle of. You are the man:)
