A friend gave me this 10 year old 120. Asked if I thought it would still be good. Indeed it has aged well!

Big notes of caramel and honey with a slightly boozy finish.

Dayum, 10 years transformed this into a completely different beer. Dark, sweet, sugary (heavy on molasses flavors) English-style barleywine vibes. That said, a bit of a hot mess for that style. FLN. RIP, Sharp Edge

We bought at the source in Rehoboth Beach (out of range now). Had once before, pre-Untappd. Nothing like an IPA. Bailey's mouth feel, bourbon taste. Wow.

Definitely some oxidation here as evidenced by the really dark color. still carbed well. Smells like one would expect a ~11yr old Barleywine to smell. Hops faded, lot of malt sweetness. The ~18% is definitely well hidden after this extended aging.

Found a few of these stashed away for science. Bready, caramel, golden raisins

Didn't realize this was 2011 or would have drank sooner. Still good but 11 years is bit too long.

Not bad at all... definitely in American Barleywine territory now. Still could go for more years.

getting barley wine flavors. Was fun to try next to the 2016 one. Age truly does affect the taste!

At 11 years old, this was surprisingly far from the worst 120-chug I've done. Still wasn't enjoyable by any means, but maybe 10+ years is it's "semi-sweet spot" 🤷🏻♂️

.@DogfishBeer Caramel, butterscotch, toffee, malty, hop bite, smooth. Delicious!!! It's been so long, I forgot who gave this to me. Thanks William W.? Dan O.? I'm traded for this and a few other @DogfishBeer beers maybe for a BT? Drinking the cellar!

1st time with an aged 120 minute. Very cool, mellowed from the fresh brew

Little carbonation left; drinks like a barely wine with a buttery finish. Subtle boozy finish.

Whoa...11 years had turned 120 into Olde Skool barleywine. Liquorice and cherry leather.

Fantastic with 11 years of age. A malty brandy. Fantastic beer experience.

2011 vintage. Decided it was time for this bottle. And it is wonderful. The sweetness from the malt balances the high abv well. After 11 years, the hop aroma has obviously waned, but some still remains. The hop flavor is still strong.

Drinking in 2022. Smell is earthy, like beetroot, but not so edgy, a bit of dark fruity sweetness as well. Taste is super rich, deep, plums and chocolate, with more raisiny sweetness. Warming, sweet, port wine notes, with a twinge of hop bite at the end.
