Caramel, citrus, zesty finish. This has aged well! #beergreat #dustytreats

Ten year aged. More smooth than the 2020. May need to age the other bottles for another ten year

Syrupy, pretty much a Barley wine but a bad barley wine. Was aged properly. Guessing the sweet spot for aging one of these is more like 2-5 years or so, 10 years is way too long.

I cracked this open to celebrate Laura's completion of the Destiny 2 game campaign the Saga of Light and Dark, which was 10 years in the making. Congratulations to all the players! The beer, of course, aged well and is still amazing.

I think this is a 2014, bottle manufactured 2013. Very smooth considering the sky-high ABV. Malty. Pretty much a barleywine.

I think this stuff will age forever and still be incredible

01/14/14 Wonderful. Man, this she's so well! Deep chocolate, caramel, ridiculous toasted oak, all without any kinds of barrels. The hoppiness in this has developed into this oil slick and medicinal character, and I mean that in the rare best of ways

10 years ought to be enough, eh? And found a guy with a 2017! Had no idea these were 18%+. And definitely tasted like that... a hoppy strong ale/barleywine. Enjoyed it, actually.

Incredible how well this has held up for 10 years. Echo my last statements — if there’s a nuclear holocaust, this beer is as good as canned food. So much malt and hops, still! Really excellent and you can’t age it too long

This one has turned on me. I guess I didn't store it right, who knows. Kinda disappointed. Drinkable but ....

There’s that booziness again. Strong enough to smell it this time. Barely any hoppiness, still, but the malt has plenty more alcohol heft.

After a decade (close enough), this is so smooth and full of flavor

Boozy! Mind as well be sucking on an extra strength Halls, covered with rubbing alcohol, and served on a bed of 2 week soggy tobacco leaves. Ah, yea kinda pleasant. 🤪

It says "Ages Well", right? Oldest IPA I've ever had. Bottled 09/17/14. It's now a Barleywine. And not a bad one at that.
