Poured a dark brown with ruby highlights and a nice tan, long lasting head.The taste was rich and complex with spices and dark fruits and most surprisingly, some nice hop bitterness. Despite the nice head, the carbonation seemed a little low. Overall, very nice. I liked 2011 better than 2010.


Rich & Rita nailed it when they gave this to me for Christmas, not only because it tasted great, but because no one else liked it and I got to drink the entire bottle without having to share.
