Aged this one for 4 years. Still fruit forward with the flavor. Strong presence of barrel aged sugar. I’m going to sit on the other two for longer. This has potential to be awesome in the years to come.

Boozy but oh so smooth. Rich malt, berry jam, boysenberry, cherry, some red wine, finishes prune/raisin. Perfectly sweet.

5 years old. A touch cloudy but that is probably the sediment not settling. Very boozy and lots of berries. Very jammy. Big beer. Definitely a sipper. Meant to be shared, but I’m not.

Better aged than fresh, much less boozy, 5 years, coworker's stash

Getting all 4 types of berries here: very full bodied with a dark richness I haven’t found in a fruited strong ale. Pleasant tartness, reminiscent of a port or a sherry. Beautiful beer!

My local store has so many older dogfish head limited Shellie’s. I know this is a weirder beer, but I like it especially with some age. Wonderful nose of fruit bouquet. Taste is light barrel & mellowed fruit. Really digging it

As I drink it, this beer grows on me. Jammy with chocately notes from the aged fruit and malt balance. So weird...

Found this beauty at Steins. 6 years old and drinking great. So much booze and berries. Thick syrupy. Tastes almost mapley. Some of the tartness is falling away. I will say that I always loved the original Fort better. This one is always a great sipper.

This is no joke, heavy hitter FOR sure. Heavy accents of fermented fruit. Definitely the body of a STRONG ale. They should call this Terry Crews Fort TBH.

Wow - lots more fruit, but well done, not overly fruity in a sweet way

Cold weather calls for boozy beer. A little smoother with age but still berry-tart.

Bottled 6/28/2018. Kroger buy last week $9.49 a 4 pack. Best deal ever. Definitely a wine taste too it, not necessarily my style but the abv% and the deal help a lot.

Thanks Zach K. Fun to finally try this. Really enjoyed this. Unique to have the fruit and the boozy behind that.

Definitely prefer fresh. 6/29/18. ton of blackberry fruit tang/tannins and light astringency. more melanoidin, jammy character changed to a sharper dry red wine character. Mostly. Warming up nicely. very strong cabernet wine like beer now. Boozy warmth.

Agree w recent posts. Jammy, boozy, a little bitter. I think a won for the aging

Delicious! This was the first beer I “cellared” when I moved to silver spring in 2018. Seemed appropriate for the last dinner we have in our apartment!

That's right, we tried this 5 year aged brew that Christian had been saving. Tastes like a delicious barley wine.

Reeks of booziness, barrel and dark fruit. Tastes like cherry/fig/raisin with a tart bitterness from the berries along with earthy tea notes and a subtle hint of chocolate. Bordering on wine territory but the Munich malt gives it a dark bread/caramel vibe
