See previous reviews of various vintages. Not sure if this is the '16, '17 or '18 as the print wore off the neck. Whatever year, didn't age well & kinda flat so no rating.

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

It’s a barley wine, with a hop vine in it. Hooo baby.

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

Out of the cellar to share with Larry in FL - what a beer

Hoppy strong and a bit aggressive. Thankfully doesn't leave a deep after taste but feels like a bourbon barrel age. Doesn't work quite as well for an IPA for me. Not for me

First beer of 2024. Bottle from 2016. Boozy aroma. Almost no hop bitterness. Mostly malt sweetness, raisins, dates, currants. Very much like a barlywine. Light carbonation. Not bad for an 8 year old beer!

Interesting. Hoppiness faded a bit (doesn't taste like 120 IBU), soft. Honey notes up front, turning to mild pine resin, then finishing on white grape/raisin. I'm really digging the layers on this one.

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

Better with age for sure! I'm really stoked about that!

Teetering a 5 over here. 8 years later this thing is delicious. Slightly sweet, but packs a boozy punch

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

Sweet and boozy with notes of toasted carmel. Absolutely delicious!

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.

It tastes like an American barleywine. Bottled 4/2016

Not sure what made today special, but 8 yr-aged pour underway. Still have 1 bottle left. Maybe it'll make it to a decade old?

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

Candied apples. Alcohol flavor but no burn. Malty. Sweetness. Finish just disappears so you want to go back for another. Complex. I’ve no idea if this truly is 2016 but it’s my best guess. Date is illegible.

Closed on new house last Friday! Time to celebrate with an 8 year old 120 minute IPA bought during my first year in San Antonio.
