Way smoother than 2021! Coffee has mellowed. More subtle& integated. Chocolate fwd. bourbon nose opens late, recedes, then finishes strong. Ale character survives. Great age point!!! $1.5/oz might bed a bit high but a great splurge!

2.5 years since my last 2017 bottle. It seems even more chocolatey…and even less bourbony. For me that is not a good thing. 😑

Aged for 4 years, this brew had mellowed significantly. Strong dark bakers chocolate and dark coffee. But it isn’t astringent or boozy. Flavors came forward with barrel oak. Wonderful.

On right. Bottled 2/23/2017, 11.8%, aged at home 5 years. Aroma: chocolate, bourbon. Flavor: bourbon, chocolate, finishes oaky. Balanced, pleasantly sweet, finishing a little drier than the middle but still with coffee, chocolate, and a whiskey bite.

The chocolate & coffee have fuzzed together to smell like mocha syrup.

Smooth. Still carbonation. Boozy, chocolate with some bitterness

Pleasantly surprised how this has held up even if it’s a little thinner than most of today’s pastry stouts.

Aged since 2017 yet the coffee and chocolate are still spritely and mouth filling! Delicious! Thank you Grales for cellaring this beer!

LCI got the KBS flight at DTC but they'd sold out of the 2016. Coffee for days in these 3 beers, all similar but slight differences. This was my favourite of the 3
