As some of you may know Old Ale is my favorite beer style. I've been holding on to this gem for the last year since I came back from Dark Lord Day. Hopefully it has gotten better with age.
2010 Bottle. Muddy and dark amber in appearance with a small beige head. Aroma is of overripe fruits, bourbon, walnuts, and oak. Flavor is extremely boozy even though its been aging for two years. Malts dominate it - toffee, caramel, ripe dates, licorice. Very viscous/oily with little carbonation. Some slight bitterness in the finish.
Well worth the wait.
