Stemware at Torst, December 2024. Clear, dark brown, cola-ish, still pour. Maple, lots of date on the nose. Dark fruit. Thin, vapid, mellow oxidation, toasty & sharp malt way on the absolute tail. Odd & empty, no oxidation, then there it is along with the roast, great. Cheers.

2015 bottle via Knightly for $1.77. Yes. Mojito glass at home. Past it's prime. Still okay? Clear, bright, peach iced tea, fizzy pour. Sour, heavy plastic, currants, vinegary sidra nose. Crispy, raspberry, sour plum, sour cherry, heavy cider vinegar, oak, some funk, leather, long lemon finish. Dry, acidy, tart, parching, plenty carbed, bit of a headache. Could be fresher.

2016 bottle from Knightly on steep discount; 7.6%. Stemless at the hotel. Hazy, deep, dark garnet color with a splash of lace. Deeper, beautiful matte raspberry syrup on the second pour. Not a ton of head. Black raspberry nose, Pinot noir, a touch of vinegar, a hair of veg. Juicy, sweet-tart, super vinous, raspberry -lime flavor. Hint of itchy malt & oak. Very slight cider vinegar on the tail. Not full blown sour like some of their other offerings, or at least it died some over time. Slight texture, strong acid, medium high tart, good bite, some natural sulfites. Lovely with age.

Notes from 9/26/14 BK Black Ops '08 vintage 10.7% abv. Adorable Duck Rabbit snifter. Cork spares my eyes, but still had some kick. Slick, espresso head. Matte black body. Head lingers & coats the glass on every spin. Smells of sharp, charred malt & burnt toast. A bit vinous. Rich bourbon glaze. Cigar smoke, dark chocolate, black coffee, burnt sugar. Tasty. Oxidation is starting to show though. Wood ash, burnt bbq, some slight edges of dark fruit peaking through. Pretty dense, creamy body, just barely cut by some beady carbonation. Still pretty boozy after all these years. Waxy. Thanks for the gift Al.

Cellar bottle direct from Eve's. Extra crispy, off-dry edging sweet, honey, apple core, enough acid, medium tart, minerally, pedestrian tannic finish. Still a great price for what you get.
