I think this was the oldest beer in my house. Tastes a liitle oxidized and probably past its prime, but I still enjoyed it.

Bottled 12/20/2012. The anise aroma reaches far beyond the glass. Molasses, fig, and dark chocolate fill the taste. Thicker mouthfeel, very low carbonation after 8 years. Pretty phenomenal.

Definitely loses a bit of the carbonation, and becomes a bit thicker after years of aging

for 9yrs, this has aged tremendously well. no oxidation to speak of, still some carb and a slightly velvet mouthfeel.

Used to be my favorite shelf BA stout. Can’t believe how well this held up. Overly bittered with hops. Bourbon chocolate finish.

Cellared for 9 years. Low carbonation with huge flavors of chocolate mocha and malt. Really happy!

Ten years seemed long enough. Mostly flat but tastes great. Dark fruit, licorice, dark chocolate candy bar, a little port wine booziness on the finish. Been disappointed with most long term cellaring, but this one is very enjoyable!

#cellarbeers This 2012 vintage at 10.5% horsepower is mellow, very roasty, and dark malty. Currently a 3.65/5 but for 12 years out that's pretty respectable.
