Bought this almost 7 years ago. Pretty dusty. If everyone who drank this and rated it poorly got to taste it now they’d change their minds.

Definitely a beer that gets better with age. 7 y.o. bottle and absolutely spectacular. Thick chocolate-cherry cake with a touch of booze.

Syrupy & sweet, this mammoth golden ale boasts mild chocolate & sour cherries, but they appear as flavor notes to the boozy golden core. Hoping for an early night — job interview in the a.m.

Been sitting on a few bottles for quite some time. Still really good. Almost completely still, but drinks quite strong. Get more cherry with a touch of chocolate on the finish.

Aged very well. Definite sherry notes, but the cake flavors came out without overpowering. I bought this on a 40th birthday trip and opened it for my 45th birthday.

Funky dark fruit nose, honey sweet and bitter, malty, Barleywinesque, syrupy warm hints of chocolate and cherry, sour is more in nose, cherries finish the palate

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!

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.

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

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