Wow. This has been in the Blackthorn cellar for a while! Holy smokes it is good - maybe just a hair too sweet.

Yowza, at this point the heat is front and center followed by the vanilla.

Pretty fantastic. First time drinking a vanilla WWS, and it was all Iād hope for, vanilla just right, prominent but not overwhelming oak, not boozy at all. Not very sweet, as so many other aged stouts can be. Excellent.

I wasnāt expecting this after six years in the cellar to be this outstanding. Pleasantly surprised.

Great way to celebrate stout day. Sadly it's fading in its age.

This held up very well. So smooth. Vanilla faded a bit.

In this 2017, I notice the vanilla has been overtaken the last 6 years by the bourbon. The bourbon has become very forward and is present throughout. The coffee notes arrive mid through and linger on the finish along with the bourbon. Very boozy.

Delicious! Lots of dark brown sugar. Notes of figs, dates, and vanilla. It feels like a pastry stout but isnāt cloying. Aged well!

Two LAX games in PA today with the youngest. Stopped in the local beer store and found 12- 4 packs of 2017 sitting on the shelf! Like a pot of gold at the end of a š.

Excellent in 2017, and even better with 7 years of additional aging in 2024!

I've had it before and have it at home but this one tastes especially good.

Hard to see, bottled 7/26/17. Almost 7 years old. Still going strong, aging nicely.

Bottled 6/15/2017. Boozy nose, prominent vanilla, and roasty. Smooth finish and not boozey. Finally enjoyed this gift after aging 3 years in the fridge. At 16% ABV, Iām surprised only the label fell off. Wayne š

Unsurprisingly, this was fantastic. Really smooth considering the ABV. A lot of depth and wonderful vanilla notes.

Surprisingly, I like the original better! The vanilla is kind of subtle to me and it just doesnāt drink quite as smoothly, even though it has a lower ABV

Great beer - this Crowler was bought about 3 yrs ago - still fully carbonated! Needed to be in a group large enough so that we could share the load!! Great beer, lingering notes of coffee, chocolate and vanilla!!

Yesterday. Boozy but still pretty smooth. May have lost some vanilla but still has some. Really nice thinner chocolate stout. Quite a tasty sipper.

Deep, rich and complex. Hits roasty and bitter at first with some smoke coming through immediately after. Vanilla is present throughout and it finishes with chocolate and coffee. Tasting fantastic rn.

Lost the vanilla which made it a little boozier, but still really good. Thanks Joe.

Bottled 6/15/2017. Pairing with tiramisu. Oak/woody flavor dominates upfront giving way to vanilla and dark chocolate with a hint of 16% heat on the back side.

Found this locally, a treat from their āagingā program. Nice vanilla and smoothness. Totally benefited from aging.
