Interesting how this turns into a barleywine/hops elixir. Holding up p well but I’d say the prime was at about 4 years of aging.

Drank like a...10 year aged ipa lol. No, it had that dark fruit malt with low carbonation. Borderline cask vibes but wasn’t as sweet as anticipated

18% Horsepower. Bottled in 2012, this is phenomenal. Taste like a barleywine mixed with a Belgian quad. I love it. Happy New Year to you all!! I hope you all are drinking great beers tonight, but please, don't drink and drive!!! Cheers!!!

Curious to what the abv on this is now. More like a quad or barleywine. Thanks Chad!

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

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

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

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

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 beer is so awesome when aged. Digging into my cellar is fun but sad at the same time as I watch some beers go away 😥

9 years of aging does something to this beer. Goes ipa to barley wine? A lot like a well aged old ale.... Regardless, highly recommend having this fresh and aged! Purchased at dogfish head... Thank you Richard!

Not sure if this is really a 2012, but it was good and the date says 2012 on the bottle

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.

8 years later, strong and mellow, any hint of harshness is long gone. Now it’s like a fine port.

Definitely gone through some considerable changes over the years, and I think sadly past it’s prime. Mellow carb, mild sweet maltiness, herbal notes with a decent alcohol/ethanol finish.
