Big thanks to ubufan2112 for this 12oz bottle in our trade from a while ago. My resolution for this year is to start drinking more from the cellar and this is perfect for that. Into a NB Globe.
A: Pours a nice copper color with a few loose bubbles that almost form a head, but not quite, a few spots of lacing are left behind even though there isn't much of a head. Really nice clarity. A fair amount of big bubbles moving through this.
S: Big, malty aroma. Lots of caramel and bread, no booze to speak of. Slight little bit of oxidation starting to show, but it works with this big malt profile. Smells like a malt bomb.
T: Interesting, lots of big time malts caramel and honey with a fair amount of bread dough as well. A little bit on the cidery side. Definite notes of oxidation, just enough sherry to make it noticeable. Slight bitterness on the finish. A touch of booze as well.
M: Very thick beer, incredibly thick, must be the amount of rye in the beer. Carbonation is on the lighter side. Finish is sticky and sweet. Pretty nice here.
O: I wish I could've tried this fresh, as it is a pretty interesting beer. There is no hoppiness left in this beer, just a bit of bitterness. Notes of sherry are starting to appear, but work well with the beer. I'm pretty amazed at how thick this beer is, pretty incredible actually. Glad to try it!

Drank in Oct. 2021. Pours dark caramel color. No head. Aroma is entirely brown sugar. Taste is still quite nice. Subtle taste of dark fruits, honey and rye. Feel is very thin. Maybe aged too long but definitely enjoyed it.

Bottle shared by RussianDragon. Turn back the clock.
The beer is copper orange with a small off-white head. Light haze. Aromas include apples, brown sugar, yeast, oranges, butterscotch. Sweet and syrupy with prominent honey character. Thick on the palate with low carbonation. Alcohol presence is tamed by time but the beer is still a bit of a chore. Best shared many ways.
