This was kinda yummy, almost portish, would make an excellent apertif. Lots of dark fruits and spices. Just has a wonderful rich and complex flavor with lrage but very smooth mouthfeel.

Brown with a creamy head and stringy, spotty lacing. Cinnamon and raisins with a touch of brown sugar in the nose. Caramel with some floral and bitter hops. Rich caramel flavors with the raisins and brown sugar coming through again. Bitter hops and alcohol. Thick bodied and chewy with a big malty finish.

Sampled draught at Wild River Pub, Grant’s Pass
Dark mahogany, light lacing. Nose of light roast, sweet malts & subtle hops. No alcohol detectable, well-rounded old ale but lacing the characteristic oakiness or vinous qualities.
