Blown away by how incredibly well this aged since I didn’t store it in the most ideal conditions. It was like some sort of fruity maple, vanilla sauce that wasn’t overly sweet because it was balanced by hints of smoke and oak. Bottled 12/22/15. Hid ABV.

2017 brew. Syrupy, oaky, w sweet maple and vanilla flava. Kind of boozy. Lable says it all. A real good drinker.

Jan 16 bottle. This has largely aged out. The oak is still present and there are remnants of that maple. I miss these DFH brews

This old ale is still an outstanding tasting brew. It has aged well.

Taste is reminiscent of a Fruiful Fort. A bit sweet and substantial

Sweet, raisiny, spicy, smoky character. Strong alchohol content bt doesn't overwhelm the taste. Too distinctive to eat with most dinner meals.

Tobacco and honey. Label says this was copyright 1999, it's held up well.

Oh God, I’ve hit the point where stuff in my cellar is about to turn ten. Also, my back hurts.

Had this in the cellar since 2016 and wow, even better than when I drank the first bottle back then. Just a great English-style Old Ale with tons of malt complexity and citrus flavors in the mid-palate. 11%er.

I believe the bottle says bottled in 2016. Hard to read. Little thin on the mouth feel, but tastes good.

It's certainly strong, but I somehow find it lacks body and flavor.

Smoked cherry on the nose, with a rich and smooth malty center. Maple and vanilla are just barely registering. Born in 2006!

That is super interesting. There's an immediate sweetness on the nose from the vanilla and maple syrup, with a mid of strong peat, and a finish of maple syrup. Super complex beer, not my favorite because of the peat but I love the concept.

Remarkably light for 11%. Definitely get the maple. Still strong tho. Best in moderation
