Seems like about 5 years might be the sweet spot for aging these beers, non-BA versions anyway. This is complex and delicious with almost no detectable booziness.

Rich dark chocolate and raisin flavors. Still boozy after 5+ years.

Ages well is an understatement! Layers upon layers of dark fruits, cinnamon clove, chocolate bark and raisin bread exploding into sweet caramel chews. So much cherry and it is very port-like at 5 years of age. Booziness is almost completely gone. Stellar

Found the remaining three of a four pack I bought five years ago in the basement. The label says “Ages Well”. I would agree.

Very nice! BIG dried dark fruit dominates from the start & throughout, w/ merlot, cocoa powder, dried apricot, pomegranate, plum, raisin, dark cherry, & subtle roast joining mid-palate, understated molasses & pinch of brown sugar late. 4/2019 bottle.

One of my last beers of my 40th year was a gift to celebrate the end of my 36th year. Smooth as ever.

Just phenomenal. Not only is this aged since 2019… but the carbonation is just so good on this. Mellow flavor sharp oak dryness. Best served with water.

Not as sweet for the ABV as expected. The barley notes apparent. Finish with vanilla and cinnamon.

Incredible how well this holds up as a non-BA stout. Aged for close to 5 years, it's smooth as ever but with all the robustness you'd expect from this ABV. Wish I had more!

Wow. Love this one. Tons of coffee and chocolate and boozy AF. Aged 4 years and seems to be nearly perfect, to me. Glad I have a few more of these!

Still plenty of spunk. A little thin though.

4.5 years on the shelf. Still a wonderfully complex heavy beer.

These do age well, though im gettingva bit of oxidation on this one. Unusual at only 4y old from my experience

The real ones know about WWS! Roasty, rich, and never disappointed in it.

Four years plus later and it has indeed improved! A great sipper for a cold night. Dark and brooding.

Sweeter than previous bottles. Not nearly as viscous as current day stouts.

Aged close to prime, damn good! Smooth for such a 16% + stout! 🍻 🔥

Strong stone fruit and dark fruit flavors. A little acidic with slight vinegar smell.. Like a rich port wine. A would have thought it aged in port barrels. Much different from the 2016, which is better and more chocolate.

Dropping to 4.25 as it as not as good as the 2016 version. More stone fruit less chocolate
