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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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