text: #28 2010 bottle into a snifter. A: light brown, slightly transparent looking down through the glass. A thin head that sticks around for the duration of the swirl. 4.0 S: really light. Candy, almost old ale-ish. There's a hint of the port aging, but not a ton going on. 3.5 T: follows pretty close to the smell. Hint of the aforementioned port, some sweetness to balance it out with some dark fruit. Pretty light overall, but not bad. 3.5 M: smooth, light, and good carbonation. By the end of the first smexpected though, the glass has become much flatter than expected and lost most of its carbonation turning a little heavier. 3.5 O: nice, but nothing that sticks out. I was hoping for more from the port and oak, but there's just not much there. Its definitely drinkable though. I would have again, but nothing to seek out. 3.5
