Peppercorn Rye-Bock

I was cleaning out the beer fridge, pouring out the nasty brown ale, and found two bottles of peppercorn rye-bock. Both were brewed in November of 2007. The first bottle had a little green apple flavor. But the second bottle was real good. I was eating dinner with a lot of spice, so I can't tell if there is any pepper still in the flavor. There is something a bit dusty-tasting. Maybe it's oxidation. Still good though.
