Not much carbonation when I uncorked the bottle. Deep red color with minimal head when the beer was poured. Strong complex beer, with many flavors going on. Pick any one you want, its probably there: raisin, caramel, date, ...

Not having had too many old ales, this beer kept reminding me of a barleywine, minus some of the hops. Great to drink sitting around a fire on a cold winter night. Might also be interesting to age for a couple more years.
