Joe Dirette

Still one of my favorites. Best year too.

Eric

Jason G.

Very strong, dark brew. Strong bourbon flavor.

Neil Khettry

Corina K. been putting on a show that takes place in Scotland and I got a bunch of deez in the cellar

Eric V.

Scotch has mellowed, giving flavor complexity center stage. Comparing with an aged 2018, it's much smoother with a nice coco-cherry finish.

Didn’t finish this one for obvious reasons, too old.

Enjoying a vintage with my BFF Kevin L.

Faded version of the classic. Still drinkable but a bit flat.

I can taste some of the quality shining through but this particular bottle didn’t age well (or maybe the entire year was muted, but that seems doubtful). Too bad. This is generally one of my favorite brews. Assumptions: 4.5. This bottle: 2.5. Split rating

Bryant

Brant Kotch

Oxidation has taken a toll, but still, not bad.

Carlin Cook

Still drinking late but bae lingers....

Ben S.

I still had this around?

Charles A.

Aged 6 years! Has a complex malt profile and a really strong bourbon backbone. Might be aged a little too long but still smooth and enjoyable 🍻

Pelle Gedda

Found this back on the shelf…been there just a liiiittle to long I think…still good though!!

BrickKilnBandy Beer

Also asked Burl if he had any vintage Harvest Ale

Carey F.

Cellar maintenance, still one of my favorites!

Andrew Reinke

Chris Weiss

Not great, not horrible

Devon Kotch

I think it’s held up. Reminds me more of an old ale now, but I am good with that. Still has strong bourbon character, and a little wood-y.

Michael Pond

This Backwoods Bastard has mellowed well in his old age.

Jack Arnold

Merry Xmas with the Family… Cheers’

Ages so well

Steve Otten

Randy Schaeding

One of the best beers from Founders (and better before mass production). This aged really well!

Chris

Ummm…I opened a’17 earlier this year that tasted like a paper bag. Dry bag. There must have been a brewing change between, because this is still going. Barrel heat still present, with a much drier English toffee finish. Holding the last two (save SSW)

Mike Crowell

Nigel Probst

Nick Mayra

Little oxidation but not bad for about 6-1/2 years old.

Jim Hamilton

Al Carver

Matt M.

Bill Savage

Boozy. Smooth. Aged well.

Started to fade, but still exceptional!

Jóhannes Runólfsson

Maybe past it's prime

Agust F

Very nice brew, bourbon and spices, covers and cinnamon I reckon, but clearly, at 6-7 years has overreached its prime a little bit.
