4 years is a great spot. Love the barleywine-like flavors it's gotten to. Deep maltiness and richness. Somewhat syrupy sweet but not overpowering. Lots of honey. Very delicious. Long malty rich finish. Thanks Sam!

Even better 3 1/2 years on the shelf. Wow. Harshness gone and smooth (old photo, new taste)

Not bad after four years. A change in color, but still packs a punch.

Great stuff! Balanced caramel & floral, aged hops lead & carry throughout, w/ generous resin, aged honey, golden raisin, & fig mid-taste, & an absolute tidal wave of orange marmalade closing. 4/9/18 bottle drinkin' DAMN fine @4 years! 4.4.

Boozy goodness — still my number one DFH. I don’t truly have a dog in this fight, but there’s something about the Warriors I just don’t like. Hopefully we get a game 7 at least. Cheers!

Four years old and doing really nicely. Glad I have a couple more in the cellar!

Feb 2018 vintage. Has aged amazingly well. Still plenty of hop bitterness but less alcohol burn. Nice malty backbone.

Even better the more it’s had a chance to age. Getting a bitter citrus peel note on the nose

There was a little dust on the bottle, but don’t let it fool ya.

5 years did this good! Pure hop candy that warms the soul. Basically a barley wine at this point 😋

Not nearly as boozy as I expected. I may pop that bottle in the fridge after all

It has aged surprisingly well. Smoothed it out and retained more hop character than expected. Moderate alcohol warmth. Pleasant. At this point it’s a slightly hoppy barleywine but in good with that.

This is still holding up well. Light. Brown sugar and a hint of spice.

NICE! BIG, understatedly floral, & sublimely age-mellowed hops lead & carry throughout, w/ caramel, old honey, orange marmalade, fig, golden raisin, & a touch of Sherry mid-palate, & balanced brown sugar, resin, & roast @fin.

Good stuff! Been sitting on this one awhile and it didn’t disappoint. Gonna let the last one age a few more years.
