Rich molasses malts. Accurately portrays itself in ABV even for such an ancient beer. Still holds a head indefinitely too. There must be something behind the "old" in old ales! If I was a sailor, this would be my beer.

Looked around for a bit seemed like the right time been a while. This has fallen off some but still a decent sipper.

Smooth complex old ale with a touch of smoke. Very cool. Founders should bring this back.

Another beer that got me into craft beer that they don't make anymore. Sigh...

I just opened a cellared old fart and it’s pretty fantastic. 7 year old beer never tasted so good

Bottled on 12/30/2016. Going on 7 years. Remarkably smooth, still has oak, lots of molasses, tree sap, caramel, raisins. Silky and all hop bitterness is smoothed out. Has an orange-pine nut note. Has held up well. Is it better fresh? Fresh is intenser.

Molasses nose. Flavors a complexity of sweet, bitter, toffee, oak. Thinner but with a fuller mouthfeel. It was better fresh but fun to drink something made in December 2026

Fortfarande fräsch i smaken men upplever den ännu mer välbalanserad nu än när den var färsk kanske har fatlagringen avtagit lite grann men surt att säga när man inte har en ny att jämföra emot

01/06/2016. Still a complex okay ale with a touch of molasses. Still has a hop tingle on the tongue. Drinking well.

Mellow molasses, caramel, light vanilla, balancing piney hops, warming finish. Maybe a little thin after 5+ years but still very good.

Oh, ye olde fisherman - that's a helluva ruby brown beauty from the depth of the cellar. Malt forward, a characterizing bitterness, at the same time smooth and balanced. Age matters. Herbal, oakey wood, some rock sugar, burnt caramell. Medium sweetness.

Har inte riktigt koll på hur de är färsk i minnet. Den var ok. Inte riktigt min stil på öl från början. Så klart godkänt

Har blivit en helt annan skapelse efter typ fem-sex år. Betydligt mjukare och följsamt lenare. Ingen av Founders bättre om ni frågar mig.
