12oz single, shipped to me by trbeer
appearance: murky dark amber, blood-red, very little head to speak of and no lacing
smell: alcohol vapor, plum, raisin, a tad of vinegar, caramel, dark skinned fruit, slight banana, sugary sweet
taste: plenty of alcohol up front, alcohol soaked plums and raisins, some floral hoppiness, honey, rum alcoholness, some banana...lots of stuff going on, sweeter than the norm
mouthfeel: very smooth, serious alcohol burn
drinkability: fairly drinkable, somewhat hindered by heavy alcohol content

2008 vintage; drank 11/5/15 @ Sheffield's.
Muddy brown/purple appearance.
Almost no khaki head; no lace.
Raisin, leather & plum notes in the nose.
Medium thick mouthfeel.
Raisin, plum & leather flavors up front; smooth caramel notes on the finish. Incredibly, no booze heat. This has aged into a complementary melange of strong flavors. Delicious!

Pour is dark copper with red notes and a thin light tan head. Nose is strong caramel, brown sugar, notes of apple skin and a hint of darker malt. Taste is more malt forward, a little bit more depth. Some apple skin sweetness with a hint of heat in the finish. Medium body with strong carbonation and a prickly feel.
