Chocolate, raisins, vanilla. Surprisingly smooth for the ABV. Thanks for sharing Kev

Infinity better than it was when fresh. Vanilla has integrated well and stout is much more rich and mellow than when it was fresh. Seems with dogfish head stuff, you just need to buy it and forget about it for about 5 years.

Malty, roasty, with nice vanilla finish

At first it tastes like vanilla bean ice cream... Then it kinda tastes like vanilla coke 😂

Aged well but not as good as fresh, imo. The sharp edges have softened but there’s a hint of soy sauce this time around. Otherwise, it’s a chocolate vanilla boozy beast (as it’s meant to be).

Cracked this open from 2017. Likes it a lot more than the utopias version I bought at the same time. Lots of barrel and while it was boozy it was less than expected 4.44

Wow! This one is a keeper. And the badgers won.

Lots of boozy oak goodness, earthy and sweet vanilla start to finish. Dark semi sweet chocolate & molasses, raisin, dry bitter backers chocolate backend. Smooth for 16%.

5+ years is too long. Lots of goodness held up: sweet vanilla, mellow woody oak, some cinnamon appears now. As I have found with other aged dark beers, a soy sauce umami is an unpleasant distraction.

Bottled 7/2017 Aged in the bottle 5 years, 8 months Boozier nose (vanilla icing, cherries, coffee beans) than I expected but that’s all gone on the taste. Barely any strength on the taste at all for a 16%! Not much different than when I tasted @3 yrs

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

I don’t taste the vanilla. But the stout is very smooth.

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

12 beers of Christmas Day 5. Extremely mellow. Really nice having the woodiness of the oak without any bourbon notes. Lets the core of the beer shine through. Mild impression of vanilla but subsumed by the oak. No burn from the alcohol.

Vanilla heavy but not sure this was worth aging. It's good

Lots of chocolate and minimal sweetness. I'm glad I cracked it now rather than later.

Interesting one. No vanilla on the smell, but the taste still has it. Very dry, again lost most is sweetness, and a bit metallic but the vanilla some how counter acts that. I'd drink most this bottle if I didn't have a few more to try

Aged beautifully. Smooth with vanilla notable but not overpowering. Still some carbonation, but I wouldn't let this age more than another year or it will be flat.
