No carbonation left, pours muddy as wart, and smells like it too. Big malty boozy hoppy…been a while since I had one, but I’d swear this is barrel aged West Coast triple IPA

Still a smooth burn, wow held up wonderfully in the 3Cs crowler!

Had to narrow this down by abv, was given the bottle and told it was old but there aren't any dates on the bottle, still perfectly good.

First sip was a bit rough. Got easier to drink with each sip of this 6 oz pour.

Tasty! Floral, lightly citrusy aged hops lead, w/ BIG caramel, lesser grapefruit & fig, & splash of Sherry mid-taste, & balanced orange marmalade, roasted brown sugar, & resin late. 16.5% ABV absurdly well-concealed. Coating, chewy mouthfeel.

I don’t often check in a 6 year old beer. You can age this one much longer and it will still be great. Such complexity, I have to give it a 5. But it’s rich and strong. May not finish tonight.

Sharing a beer from my cellar with Larry - started with 60 minute, then 90 minute and then 120 minutes and there is no disappointment, the 120 minute still rules with complex flavors

Let's see how well this aged... Update...it hasn't seemed to change, though it seems a little hotter than the 2023.

It is still strong. Not bitter. But it looks like Apple cider in the glass.

heck yeah tbh I'm done aging these - I like the taste but prefer it fresh way more

Knocking down a bit because WOW this is strong and malty as fuck.

It’s weird because it’s not spicy, but it burns my tongue? It’s different. I like it.

Found it aging in my closet. Guess I forgot about it. 3 years aging is the best.

👀 smells boozy. Tastes boozy. I’m gonna sip on it a little more but likely not finishing it.

Es como beber un barleywine americano sin ser tan maltoso, esa combinación caramelosa junto con el amargor pronunciado se desarrollan dejando como resultado esas notas a caramelo quemado, tofe, dátiles, pero conservando lo resinoso y toronjoso 🍻

Thanks for the share! Aging definitely shows more maltiness in these. I remember this from when I aged a 2013 and it still hold true.

Had no intention of cracking this tonight, but a tipped over box in the cellar led to this or pouring down the drain. (3/7/18 bottle date)

Wowza. First thoughts are moderate heat and black licorice. Still has some bitterness and none of the typical “old IPA” off notes. Some Cracker Jack notes in there as well. Heat persists, but is not overwhelming. Still some floral notes left.

Whoo! Definitely a sipper. Thick, sweet, resinous, complex. Aged 6 years.

Oh my really awesome! Yes, a bit boozy and hoppy but smooth and flavorful.
