Been holding onto this bottle for almost 20 years! It pours a very dark reddy-brown with a thin, bubbly head that barely lasted long enough for a photo. The aroma is boozy - nutmeg, prune and licorice. The body is straight up prune juice. Past its best.

Matt: I bought three bottles in November 2004, drank two at the time and managed to cellar this one. 😁

Jay G: It’s a shame the taste didn’t hold but fair play for holding on to it for that long!

Matt: Thanks, it was nice to finally try it and even though it wasn't as good as I hoped it was still interesting!

I think this beer cracked the top 5 of all time favorite beers. This aged so well, mild dark berry notes, subtle malt flavors, thick full body. So balanced.
