Whoa, this now tastes like a light-bodied port. Deep, rich toasty malt flavors, with raisin standing out first and foremost. This may have actually improved with age. I remember thinking it was starting to get bitter last time I drank one of these

Dark fruit, brown sugar, and booze notes. This beer is always great, and gets superb with age!

Rich, malts, still get lots of raisins.. little less carbonation than last bottle

Fun experiment (dusty 6yo bottle) but not much more than that - prune, raisin, dark chocolate, molasses. Enough acidity and residual alcohol heat to keep it interesting for the first 10 odd minutes while it still had carb.

Still poured a big head, good carb. Deep and complex. Only a little heat on the back end from the big boy booze. Sticky raisins but not too sweet

Picked up a bunch on close out DFH prob won’t make again. Big fan of this, still a little hot. I’ve got plenty to try over the next decade.

Caramel, raisins, and sweetness in aroma. Taste follows aroma along with a ton of booze. Bottle share. Bottled on 12/13/18 1433. Thanks, Neighbor Jerry! Late checkin.

Initially, I thought it drank a few years older than an ‘18. But at room temp, sips nicely. The sugars from the raisins provide a great natural mask for the booze. $10/ 12oz bottle is steep. But from time to time, I’d scope out again.

Better aged for 5 years or so, 2007 and 2015 were better.

Mistakenly opened this. Wanted to age 5-10 years to get it ripe and delicious. Right now, a boozy barleywine full of malts and caramel

Sometimes ya oughta grab one from the back of the storage. Age hasn’t mellowed this boozy beast much. A touch of raisin sweetness on the back end.
