Chuck C. is always bringing vintage. Aged Barleywine 8 years is a STRETCH. She just held on. Tasted way better than it smelt ..

Drank last night. Much better than when it was fresh, but still not that great IMO. Almost drinks like a brandy now.

Chocolate syrup in a bottle. Reminds me of the second batch of "Future You Hates You" from Adroit Theory

5 years on this. 5 years on my marriage. Weird time to reflect. I have a one-ish year old. I bought a beach house yesterday. Wtf. Sour cherry has taken over. This beer is fucking weird. Chocolate now the background

Dusty green cap kinda night. Sweet chocolate covered cherries. Smooth for 17%. Chocolate ruins the ending a bit, gives it a sour velvet cake taste

I only have 50% taste from a sinus infection so I think it tastes good?

Re V.

It's very boozy. At 17% abv I'm not surprised. Can definitely taste the cherries and chocolate. The booziness is a bit overwhelming though. Remembering 19 years after 9/11 and 20 years after my Dad passing. Twoje zdrowie (cheers in Polish)

It's decent for what I consider a sour. Definitely not a guzzler.

Initial smell was cherry cordial. Taste was a bit oxidized. Has a lot of chocolate going on, but overall not a pleasent experience.

Finally had it. A shot would be perfect. 12 oz is too much. Cool idea in any event, esp for 6 years ago.

It's been eight years since this thing was bottled. Still a little syrupy, but it's thinned. As has the booze upfront, though there's still plenty of burn on the finish. Two more bottles left.
