Deep in color. Dark and caramel in nature. Robust in flavor. Almost port like.

Unique check-in #5,000! Aged 12 years and cracked in celebration of the close on the sale of my house today!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this beer. It tastes really good!

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....

Yep... bottled September 2011. Decided it was time to hit a bit of my vintage stock! It's funny to think how the world (or at least mine) has changed more than the beer has. More bite, I think. Maybe not as smooth. Surprising hop aroma. Aged quite well

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

Didn't expect 12+ years on a beer to taste so splendid. Started sipping in 2023; finished it in 2024. So smooth!

Still has a strong hoppy aroma, but it’s mostly nonexistent on the palate. Suuuuuuper alcohol-forward though.

Bottle pour, caramel brown sugar nose, no foam, malty caramel brown sugar either some piney bitterness in the finish

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

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