Tired of seeing this in the fridge. Held up fairly well. Lost a little fizz of course.

Aging this 12 years only made it better. Just a bit of carbonation letting me know it was stored properly. Well worth the wait

This didn’t age as well as the 2007 in 2021. More red ale and less apricot jam barleywine. Saving the other bottle for a bit to see if it improves.

This is only ok. Hasn't aged nearly as well as the 2007 we opened in 2021. Better as it warms up, a bit of a red ale, malty and sweet but also hoppy.

Damn good at 12 years. Probably time to drink it now though. Happy Super Bowl!

Pushing 14 years in the cellar. Drinks like an English barleywine now with a bit of oxidation happening. Ages well indeed.

Some sediment at the bottom of the glass. Taste has likely shifted, but it’s great to drink.

Unfortunately past its prime with a bit of oxidation but still holding its own very well.

Pulled a couple from the basement for 1-20. This is the one on the right. Drinks like a barleywine after all these years. Sweet, malty, nice toffee flavor. Enjoyable. Bottle says BOTTLED IN 2012F.

Is that toffee I detect on the nose? No hops to speak of, and a significantly smoother finish. A major step up over 2011.

Pretty much a barleywine at 14 years of aging. Still great flavours. Would prefer fresh.

11 years old. Drinking very well. Much nicer than a 2018.

11+ years old bottle. Cloudy dark brown. Moved fantastic in the glass before settling flat. Boozy and malty. Fruity. This is shockingly bitter for an 11 year old bottle. Maintained fantastic flavors but this is mostly an experience of malted alcohol.

Pretty, pretty, pretty, good for an 11 year old beer. Rich malty caramelized sweetness. Vintage shelf find at Dogfish Head Brewery.

It’s wild how this behaves more like a barleywine than ipa. It’s held up and is nice 11 years on

“2012 B”. Not as clean as 2011. -Monster Malt and less honey…. But much more astringent/ boozy.

Did a comparison between a 2022 and 2012. Overall i like the 2012 more but can only have so much. Thanks Greg

Broke out this one that Connor’s had aging since 2012. Ages into a robust, smooth barley wine. Dangerously smooth, even.
