Available as of September, 2010. Not sure if it was the "10th", but it is an Anniversary Ale.
Darker amber color, nearly clear. Good lace from the relatively modest head.
Light sourness with a strong bittering hop aroma
Has some unusual flavors of sherry (fortified wine) and wood (oak?). Unlike most of the offerings from ABC, this one has a rich body. The finish and aftertaste have a great peppery hop flavor.

10th anniversary ale on cask...the style is suspect.
AP: Red hued amber, tight and thick 1 and a 1/4" off-white head, perfectly smooth and even with amazing retention.
nose: lightly sweet bready malt flavor, herbal and bitter scented hop and a sour musty yeast.
flavor: a rich, semi-bitter buttery malt, much like a double-IPA with an earthy, grainy flavor, the bitterness rivals a fresh acorn off the ground and finishes with a very fresh, garden green hop flavor.
Feel: Medium body, classic cask-style thick and flat feeling with a very smooth, hefty and sticky feel.
DA: Really enjoyable overall, although i'm still not sure of the style, i have my guesses, Old ale fits pretty well with some double-IPA traits. since it was cask conditioned I'm thinking Old ale.
