August 31, 2014 - Golden amber color. Fully mature, probably a decade ago. Now over the hill, or for English palates. Aroma primarily of caramel and a hint of lacquer. Tastes rounded and full bodied, with burnt vanilla, shellac, bitter lemons, and a long and bitter aftertaste. A bit too much alcohol as well.

August 19, 2014 - Amber gold, nuts and caramel with acidity to keep old flavors crisp on palate. Monument.

February 9, 2013 - Badly oxidized. Dumped. Pisses me off that I paid all that $$ on release and this is what I get.
