    I saw the release of it and am a fan of the style so I bought two. Last year I bought a bottle the was 2010 vintage, this year i am finding 2009's on the shelf. I cracked one open to have and found the smell rather indistinct, the head non-existent head, and the taste to be a mix between leather and lots of grassiness. I looked back to my review and saw my description as sweet malts, oaky and dark fruits. So I dumped this beer since it was undrinkable and decided to try the second bottle. This one looked slight better and had some tastes of the one i had last year but was still grassy and undrinkable.

    Just putting my story out there as a caution with this beer and trying to see if anyone has tried any of the release and had similar or different experiences.
