Édition 2005
I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John! It pours from 750ml caged and corked bottle a clear very deep amber/brown with reddish hues and a very small head of foam...but it has some good lacing. After a few minutes, the foam and lacing are gone.(except a broken ring around the glass) The smell is of caramel malt, dark fruit, some spice, and some alcohol. The taste on first sip has the dark fruit up front, plum raisin tofee, followed by sweet malt and some alcohol. This is definitely on the sweet side but not overly so yet I hesitate when I before I take my next sip. I just don't find it all that tasty or drinkable. It has a syrupy mouthfeel and the finish has a slight citrus kick to it but overall it's on the watery side. I'm glad I got to try it but I can't recommend it.
