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

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

Bottled 1/14/15... much of the hop bitterness has faded into a sharp boozy fruity mildly malty flavor bomb

Aged 4 years. Very sweet and strong. Still a little a harsh, but much smoother than fresh.

Red barleywine at this point, nice oak, nuanced flavors. 5 years of aging in my liquor cabinet seems to have worked well

A very solid Barleywine at this point, which is far better than fresh. Black and Tan with WWS as well

It's a boozy, hoppy, oxidized mess of a barleywine after 6 years...and tastier than it should be.

I would never drink another IPA that is 7+ years old, but this is actually good. The color is crazy after aging.

Drank this one last night. Held up ok. Little bit of sediment at the bottom. No longer a booze bomb. Tastes more like an english barleywine but I think I prefer it fresh.

Rescued from the mold. I think 5 years was the sweet spot.

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.

I did indeed age well. Typical oxidized characteristics underlined by sweet toast and boozy raisin. Tomorrow morning should be interesting

“Ages well” indeed. Would be appropriate for #barleywineWednesday

Testing the “ages well” statement. 9+ years later this is basically a barleywine that slaps you upside the head. And then kicks you in the nuts.

similar to the jackass in style, tempered by experience and time. ...and mister lausch has entered the building,

Either I’ve burned off everything on my tongue or this smoothed out just a bit in 5 years.
