Cellared 13yrs w/ glassware. Nose is magical figs & sweetness. Was a fig bomb when fresh. My cellar is the best. No oxidation. We have dark fruits, plenty of sweet fig juice, some burn & hints of tobacco. Great blend. Better than fresh. Easy 15% drinker.

Reliving the golden age of one of America's most quintessential microbreweries. Harkens back to Dogfish's championship runs. One of the best barelywines money can buy. Then and now.

11+ years old. Just crazy how well this held up. Solidly oxidized, but still just full of tootsie rolls, raisins, deep toffee and caramel. Sweet, but finishes incredibly dry, almost abrasively so. Still, a fun experiment in time!

Fairly oxidized at this point, but still solid. Dried dark fruit, cardboard, caramel, brown sugar, hints of sherry and bitter dark chocolate. Love tapping into the past with olde school beers like this one 😉

Malty & raisin nose. Super sweet with big molasses & raisin with a malty backbone. Earthy hops with a spicy boozy kick still . Aged well with a big Carmel finish
