What a treat: super boozy and yet very pleasant, caramelly, bitter with a mint finish. Awesome beer

Horrible as an IPA, but fantastic as an American barleywine :) Sherry, brown sugar, light citrus, long warming finish. A great beer to hide away for 5+ years

Super smooth. Borderline sweet. Could almost see drinking this warm as a spirit more than a beer.

Ages super super well, this is my favorite beer to age. Sweetens out but balanced, absolutely no burn. Layers and layers of flavor. Did in vertical with 2017 and 2019, and 2017 was my favorite. Compared to the 2017 it’s on the downslope so good to open

120 Minutes spent shredding today. An undisclosed amount of minutes lying in the snow.

The ultimate small pour! Ode to Martin and the barrel chest!

Operation Clear the Cellar I always enjoy this beer, fresh or aged. Heavy pine resin hop bomb with a burst of boozy maltiness, with hops lingering on the finish.

Absolutely aged better than the 2021 I just compared it to.

Meant to have this in July but that's okay, this is still a banger for being a 2016

More of a barleywine than an ipa but for being 8 years old…tons of character and smooth as hell. As the label says, does age well!

If every American Barleywine was this good…wait, that’s no barleywine! Best 120 ever, and my last of that vintage 😎

Sweet, malty, a tad bitter, and just a little bit of musk... always amazed how this ages out to a different but way more interesting beer

It burns. Like a sweet, sticky, malt forward and backend bitter aged IPA should

Smoothing out nicely over the years. Smooth toasted caramel, a touch of hop resin, little bit of leather. Booziness is largely gone, drinking pretty nicely. Looking forward to trying a 2006 soon!

The bad news is that one of my favorite bottle shops is closing its doors...The good news is that they have emptied their cellar in the process. This is honestly drinking way more like a Barleywine now than an IPA.

Some heat from abv. Carmellly and slight toffee notes. Quite delicious.

Not sure what I was saving this for but new home and new job seemed good enough. Still pretty boozy.

Mini vertical with '14 and '17. This one was the best... Mellowed just a touch but still good flavor.
