Aged approx. 12 mo. Has taken on a somewhat vinous quality. Malt-forward. Biscuit over caramel; hint of vanilla?

Last one! It was good. Would I make it again? Possibly, though that it took me this long to work through the batch is a leading indicator.

Aged six months. Little aroma. Bready, some dark fruit (prunes?) Earthy hops notes. Medium body, a bit chewy.

I think this ones getting better with age! Or maybe it's just that it's colder outside which is when I tend to prefer a maltier beer.

Betrayed! The cap on this bottle didn't get a good deal so (1) all the CO2 escapes and (2) tastes a bit oxidized. Boo.
