I am reviewing this as a follow-up to my earlier review, 07-31-2006. I have held a few back, to see what a little bit of age does to the ale.

A: dark & brooding. Some ruby clarity through the stem of the glass. Frothy tan head.

S: iced coffee. Some subtle rusty notes. There is a certain "hollow" maltiness, which reminds me of my beers that I have cellared for a while. Perhaps a sign of some age.

T: Creamy, roast coffee. Subtle perfumy notes. There's a charry after taste, and a dusty bitterness.

M: Still rich, full, long.

O: A great beer still. There are some subtle signs of degradation... but not to the overall detriment of the experience.
