It’s actually aged quite nicely. Tons of cherry flavor and aroma with some chocolate. The chocolate seems strong toward the bottom of the bottle.

Particulates have separated finally. Little to no carbonation. Still, it tastes fine. Tart nose. Sweet, boozy finish. Cherry undertones.

C'est bon! Chaleur d'alcool encore bien présente après 8 ans de vieillissement. Légère madérisation, avec la cerise et le cacao on dirait un genre de porto légèrement acidulé. C'est très agréable!

Syrupy & sweet, this mammoth golden ale boasts mild chocolate & sour cherries, but they appear as flavor notes to the boozy golden core. Hoping for an early night — job interview in the a.m.

Rich, warming chocolate and cherries. 8 y.o. bottle - mild alcohol presence. Always a commitment to open one of the hazard tops, but they rarely let me down. 🍻
