Watching 🎥Last Man Standing - Bruce Willis. TV we ordered was delivered so hung it up with my better half’s dad since she can’t lift anything. 85” of awesomeness, can’t wait to watch some ⚾️ on this monster!

As for the CBS, this seems to improve and become rounder with time, less sweet and sticky. Although it's also beyond its prime.

Due to Covid, this one aged a lot longer in the cellar than I intended- but it was still delicious!

Neat to try these side by side. Maple has mostly worn off but the bourbon holds strong. Cant decide which i enjoy more; some of the delicate toffee notes get covered by the barrel aging.

Last bottle, lovely

Steve H

Last but definitely not least from Saturday

Brian H

Aged 5 yrs.. still decent tasting, a BIT flatter flavor then i would like.

I’ve had a ton of new/different beer’s since the first time I had this one but it’s aging just fine and is tasty. It’s just not as high on my list as it was 5 years ago. If founders ever brings it back it won’t be this good just like all their beer now.

I had forgotten how much I loved this beer with some age. This is past us prime but still delicious. The maple syrup is right up front. The old ale base is faded but the hops have survived with the raisin and oak.

Aaron Ohmsen

Aroma of caramel & faint bourbon. On the palate: Smooth light bourbon, molasses, caramel, maple syrup. Hides the % entirely, sweet sticky dessert beer

Steve Tumblin

Increased booziness and bitterness from ehat I remember. I think this is my last 2018.

Kevin D

Aslaug Hognadottir

Smooth, boozy, oaky, and a hint of sweetness. Fun.
