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)

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

This Backwoods Bastard has mellowed well in his old age.

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.

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 🍻

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

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

Definitely a sipper, strong caramel,malty, and oak flavors.

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

Strong notes of oak and dark fruitiness on the nose. Palate is full of caramel, a cinnamon like spice and rounded out with hits of raisin and booze. Complex, robust and still balanced. 4.4

FLN. Raw cocoa husk, toffee, leather, oak, dark fruit dreams. This bottle has fared incredibly well

Very tasty for a 6 yr cellared scotch age, the bourbon flavor is still very good. Highly recommended 👍👌👏🏻
