Wow - mellowed some over time, but still.strong - still but flavors eight years later. Super cloudy, subtle notes of caramel. Wonderfully to share dockside with friends.

The bronze color and initial sweetness are noticed at first sip. As the 18% IPA warms up the hops and the high IBU Become dominant. Great aged imperial IPA.

Starting to get into what I remember as 120, just a little less hoppy. Had a a slight touch of oxidation.

My last bottle of 2015. Craig G. I am sure I picked this up at that little grocery store in GR way back when. Still a solid beer and hasn’t lost much at all.

Don't know if I needed to hold onto this for 8 years, but still pretty damn tasty.

This is not getting any better with age. 8 years is too long to hold on too! Still enjoying it, though!

Still a large hop presence. Amazingly. Thanks for the gift, Gabe H.

Wow! Never did I dream sitting on a 2015 would taste as rich and fresh in 2023. Amazingly complex; I will begin aging consistently going forward. 2016 and 2017 on tap tomorrow!

Straight up lyfe/old ale. Sitting on a 120 for eight years = resounding success.

Russian River and Dogfish can sort out who has the best IPA of all time but I have no problem benefitting from both

7.5 years was worth the wait. Delicious and so smooth now. Glad I have the other 3 from the pack to age a few more years. Cheers

10 of 10 kicked up to a 10! Definitely improved with age with a boozy kick!

It's a boozy, hoppy, oxidized mess of a barleywine after 8 years...and tastier than it should be.

Holy crap. Sweet, hoppy bomb of a beer. On tap. Wowsers

Happy 1/20 Day! One of my perennial favorites, even after all these years. Boozy, sweet, and strong. I’m of the opinion 120 IPAs should be aged at least 1-2 years to be best enjoyed.  The exception being if it’s on tap

Aged 7 years in bottle. It might be the best 120 minute I’ve ever had

Probably past its prime. Still strong and sweet, but lacks the usual delicious punch.

7 year wait to crack this one. Aged beautifully! So smooth.

Nope, did not age well. Very malty, chunky yeast. Maybe if it was kept sub 50 degrees?
