Big Scotch Guy , bottled in 2013 still just as good if not better
over 1 year ago
Last bottle in the cellar and held up nicely. Charred oak, burnt caramel, raisins, hint of smoke and leather and pumpernickel bread crust.

No back label, and date on neck is rubbed off. Think this is a '13. Not a big fan of aged Bastard. Everything's muted in this one. Barrel is most noticable followed by some vinous and cola flavors. Fun science experiment.

How could it be that this is 10 years old! Cheers Kevin S. For sending this one my way many years ago! Pretty much at its later end of life. But still drinking great! Love this beer. Cheers everyone!

Might be past it's prime... not sure. Kinda watery. Profile mostly nails it. Boozy with a malty sweetness. Can't really tell that this is a scothish ale, IMO. No rating as not sure how this is supposed to taste. Thanks for sharing this one Brandon S.!

It's mellowed for sure but flavor is taking a nosedive. Oxidized. I'm sure It has to do with improper storage of the beer with my travels. Glad I drank it tonight.

Smoky nose. Chewy. Boozy oak. And whiskey. Nice sipper

Apparently the fourth of a 4-pack from 2013. Quiet sweet/malty but the dark fruit has remained. Pleasant alcohol presents.

What a beauty after all these years. Found this bottle sitting there alone in the cellar and it so mellow and balanced.

At least pretty sure it is. Date's rubbed off now. The cellar cleansing continues.

Again, a shadow of its former self. Corpse.

Thanks Alan H. and Shari L. ! 8 years has actually muted the flavors of this. Very smooth though

10-17. 14 is when it starts to change character. Only bad one was 12. 10 a little oxidized but otherwise smooth. Great beer!

Staggered vertical 2013-15-17. Past its prime. Dead flat, lost some of the nicer flavor characteristics, a little slick, but overall not horrible. 4-6yrs seems to be the max aging window on most year variants of this. Last pick for the evening

Drinking through some collared stuff I should have got to years ago. Still super good though, just haven't drank these styles in a while!
