This is a 2018 bottle. Boozy and rich, hint of Carmel and malt sweetness. Pretty delicious really...

Best beer I think I've ever had. Bought this a single a couple months ago. Shared it with Liz. Can I rate this higher than 5.0? Hope to find it again.

It just gets deeper & stronger with age. This 9-year-old packs quite a punch with all the flavor of the original, but better.

Has to be at least five years old – I can’t tell by looking at the bottle the date, though

Cellar aged since 2018, gifted to me this summer. Super sweet. Boozy. Raisins are prominent.

Sweet, but has sort of a tart/sour note that isn’t extremely pleasing. It’s definitely a little boozy and has a noticeable raisin palate and finish. The nose is raisin forward and sweet. Solid but not quite up my alley or up my ass.

Bottled Jan 2019, purchased Mar 2023. Nose is malt, prune and leather. Slight booze burn on the nose. Sips sweet and boozy. Dark fruit with prunes and raisins. Total malt bomb. Boozy and very well balanced. Reminds of a super strong Scottish ale.
