Another palate cleanse. Probably just over the peak at this point?

I remember enjoying this a lot the year it was released, and while that was probably too long ago to remember clearly, I think I liked it even better now. The fig/date/prune fruit flavors come through prominently and it’s got a great sweet boozy kick!

4.35 - super enjoyable. This has always been one of my old favs.

Still drinking perfectly right now. The harsh boozy burn is gone and left with burnt sugars, figs. So good.

From deep in the cellar-late check in of the superb aged beer. So smooth for 15%.

Doing a vertical, and it's 2012 > 2011 > 2013 for me. Hear our thoughts on Episode 366 of @cbcast here: https://craftbeercast.com/?p=2209

Fantastic. Very forward on the barrel, a little (but still pleasant) booze bite. Nice and mellow after 8 years. The usual caramel and toffee notes.

This is very smooth and you wouldn’t know that it is 15% ABG. That said, it is also very sweet and though i loved the first 6 oz, the last 6 oz took some effort. Still well worth the time.

Tastes absolutely delicious! There's raisin, fig, leather, & tobacco, in the most delicious way! Doesn't taste very boozy to me. Tastes like a 11% not 15%.

EBF - Beer #11. A 2012 vintage. And it was great! It was smooth and good raisin taste. But really I gotta thank Ben for all of these. Thanks for a great gift!

From Extreme Beer Fest Session 2. Got the 9yr old version. Definitely getting the fig and dates notes. Also molasses, Irish whiskey, cola, dried fruit. Booze is huge, drinks more like whiskey than barleywine. Mellow, lots of flavor for 9yrs old.

Though this has mellowed with age, you still get the flavor of the dates in with all the sweetness.

Pairs well with Bob Weir and the Wolf Brothers, 3/17/21. Happy St Patty’s Day!

Dry wood, maple/molasses, mild sweetness, dark fruit like figs. Woody finish. Not as sweet as I remember more recent vintages. Awesome. Thanks Dave!
