This is what happens when you neglect to make sure you grabbed the right bottle. Flat, chewy, dense....

Been aging this one for 8 yrs. Amazing! The boozy taste is mellowed out

Aging this really takes the bite off of it. I don't even taste any hops. I'd like to pick up a fresh one to compare again, it's been too long since I've had it fresh. But still a great beer.

Dogfish had this 8 yr old bottle on sale. This is a completely different beast. The hops are gone and a barleywine remains

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

Yikes! Smells and tastes like a barleywine. Hard to believe this started off as an IPA. Pretty undrinkable.

Good age at this point. Hop and alcohol bite are gone. Malty without tasting musty.

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.

Toasting a #billsmafia return to the playoffs with a cellar selection and wedding gift from Mike S. Thanks, buddy. This was your best idea possibly ever.

Malty and sweet. Hop profile has diminished, 8 years in a basement will do that.

A 7 year old bottle to celebrate the GOAT’s 7th SB VICTORY. Better with age.

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.

Does age well. Maybe best at about the 5 year mark IMO? But this has a great sherry flavor, caramel, little toffee, good warmth at the back end. Not harsh at all. Little thin, definitely mellowed. Worth a taste for sure
