Still think I’m too far down the aging curve. At this point it’s a very low carb barleywine with an intense leathery malt aroma and flavor. It’s v good but I think I’m losing complexity at this point

Malty, rich, boozy, complex and deep flavor, not really hoppy IPA

A little forgotten, but very refreshing and warm in the belly. Celebrating small victories fixing the speakeasy. 1 of 2 chimney caps installed this evening.

Such a weird beer to rate. Real strong and boozy. I know it's an IPA but it looks and drinks sort of like a barleywine. I thought I was not going to like this but Melissa and I were both surprised.

Not really getting better with age, it's super sweet and boozy at the 2+ year mark, drinkable but not entirely enjoyable.

Aged 2 years, good, different flavors ...although it was good it’s not as good as fresh. I know it says ages well... best bet is to drink it fresh.

Aged so well. Too sweet for my palate, but can’t deny how it’s drinking. Drenched in hops, with balanced malt sweetness and boozy warmth throughout. Always a pleasure.

Drinks like a barleywine. Soft and hoppy, light sweetness. Thanks Matt!

Pineapple mango orange juice on the nose. Tropical notes follow through with added peach and vanilla. Subtle tannins hop finish.

Aging is always good for this beer. This one has lost booziness and sweetness. Great flavor. Missing it's punch.

Like licking a caramelly hop cone. This is a good thing.

Very drinkable for it's ABV and IBU, but I might be feeling like Goldilocks. 90 minute is just right

Held up well, no burn, some caramel from the malt, earthy hops

It’s been awhile since I’ve had one so I figured I’d give it another try, plus…. Bike Contest! Better than I remember, not as boozy with some age on it.

Very malty sweet. Rather dark in color like a barleywine. A little bitter but mostly sweet. Can tell it’s a big boy, but it doesn’t seem very boozy.
