5 years aged, even better than the first time. The tart cherries have mellowed and it now lets the chocolate through

Pours like slightly thined syrup. Dark brown color. Smells sweet and boozy. Very lightly carbonated. Tastes heavy, boozy, slightly sweet but very smooth. Glad i aged it 5 years. Good start to 2021

Celebrating Dogfish Head's 25th Anniversary and the end of a crazy year with a beer from their 20th anniversary. Never had this one fresh, but still tasting lots of cherry and a hint of that chocolate.

17 percent alcohol. Gift from little Paul several years ago. Split with John watching a bowl game. Pretty good. A little sweet for me. So glad to have the chance to sample/taste this brew.

10/20/15 bottling. Hearing I should have drank it 2 yrs ago, no carbonation says so. Malt, sweet w/chewy mouthfeel. Imho this is like an aged Immortale w/maraschino cherry in the finish. 17%ABV is hidden.

Very special and very unique taste. Rated a little higher than I usually would because it’s so special. You can definitely taste the cherries!

Aging this a few years probably helped cut down the alcohol heat. Cherry and a bit of chocolate coming through.

Holy moly this thing is strong and smooth. It’s been aging for probably 3-4 years in my fridge and I completely forgot about it until tonight. I now wish I picked up more of this before they stopped making it.

Jen got this for me when we were first dating, 5 years ago. I tried it once when it first came out and it has gotten much better with age. Still very intense, thick and sweet but the flavors are much more harmonious now.
