It’s good, but the alcohol has really mellowed quite a bit. The malty has leveled as well, so at of the day, everything is well balanced. 4.40/5.00

More an English barley wine, but still, it’s banging. Thank you, Kerry M.!

Boozy, hoppy, sweet. Tastes like barleywine

4/5/2024. This beer has been aged for 8 years! Says "ages well" on the can and it is not joking - this fantastic brew has some of the most unique hoppy and caramel flavors ive ever tasted. Would rate higher if I wasn't a sucker for bourbon barrel aged

Wild how 7 years of aging this can change a beer, sweet and bold bite, clean as can be on the finish. Wow.

This has aged really well. Probably the only IPA I'll ever rank this high.

"Ages Well." Actually yeah. Hoppy white wine notes. This is quite delicious.

Keg aged at my local pub for 3 years takes an already smooth as hell beer and adds to it.

I hated this beer fresh when I bought them. I was like one of the only ones that didn’t get. After aging for 3 years, I totally understand now. It’s like a great barleywine.

Cherry wine vibes, boozy but waaaaaay smoother than I would expect for 18%. It’s really good. Bday beer 23/30. Thanks to Jeff M. for this legend.

When you consider the fact that it’s 20% stronger than the strongest beer you can usually find, it gets serious clout. Hello, LUCA

Wish I had a fresh one to compare with. Still has some heat.

Bottled 12.14.17. Orange marmalade, burnt sugar, sugar daddy, malty. Surprisingly smooth for the insane abv. Still absurdly dangerous just like MOX vs OMEGA. #AEW thx for the bottle Mike J. and also Dylan C. for braving it with me!

Unexpectedly found this in my unpacking! It wasn’t cellared properly for the last 3 years, but it’s still decent and boozy as hell!

No head. My daughter said it looks like apple cider and she's spot on. Intense and focused dried apricot & peach, fruitcake, and honeyed apple, massively rich mouthcoating palate, alcohol speaks but in check, hop driven finish buried by rich fruit.

4 years later! Definitely more of a barleywine character now, but still a bit boozy and unbalanced. Certainly much better than fresh -- oxidation has added some wonderful flavors to this. Persimmon notes?

Aged till today. Drinking with and in celebration of Katherine’s birthday. Aroma of cherry and sweet vermouth. Flavors follow suit with a solid malt backbone.
