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.

Nose has become interesting. Touch of oxidation, but drinks like a barleywine now (some would say it always has). Ive unintentionally collected 10+ years as a vertical that ill never drink in succession....

Despite the pic, hardly any carb. Reminds me of hotd doggie claws. Very good for what it is, a big malt bomb sipper for winter nights. Still have the signed 2007 edition left. Thx again Dave

Quite good, easy drinking, heat from alcohol creeps in very late.

Held up suprisingly well and pretty damn good. Like a slightly heavier hopped non-BA BW or strong ale. More malty than dark fruit.

Reached ten years of bottle maturity last month on the 19th, I'm a little late to its birthday party. Smells more malty, caramel, toffee, faint hops, no sign of them, sickly sweet barley, muted hops on the taste. Transformed from a triple IPA > barleywine

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

Aged very well. It is sweet, somewhat reminiscent of Utopias

10 years aged, a gift from an old friend leaving for the sunshine state. What a great beer to enjoy the first day off in 13 (Lucky number I guess) still damn good now deceptively strong.

Happy Delaware Day! On Dec. 7, 1787, the Legislative Council unanimously approved the Constitution, making Delaware the first state. The site of the vote is this current building. To celebrate, I went to the cellar and opened this 10-year old beer!

Became leathery, raisin-y, and barleywine-ish by aging this long.

Heavily oxidized, but still quite quaffable; notes of sherry and orange dominate the senses…

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.

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

This is not an ipa anymore. Pretty sure it's even beyond anything I've ever drank.

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
