Taste - Malty, chocolate, sweet and a bit nutty.
Mouth Feel - Medium carbonation and full body.
Drinkable - This bottle aged much better than any other corked Iron Hill brews I've had in the past.  I'm not sure on the aged, Iron Hill was formed in 1994 making their 10th anniversary 2004.  This did not taste like a 8 year old brew.  If it was 8 years old it sure did age extremely well.  Did not detect any booziness, the alcohol is well hidden.

This beer pairs well with sharp or pungent cheese and BBQ.

This beer gets a Duper rating of B.
