Campfire bacon on the nose, very subtle maple flavor and a peppery oak note on the finish. This is a nerd beer, but in a good way. One that is fun to pick apart. Definitely one of the more interesting brews I’ve ever had. Bottled 12/22/15

Bottles 12/22/15. The nose was similar to a saison ale. Taste was much different than On the nose. Smoked hickory wood and maple. The age on this made for a perfect balance. Awesome brew

I wish I knew the vintage but its a couple years old I think. The alcohol is completely absent. Soooo good.

Another old ass IPA? Nope! Vintage 2008 Strong Ale brewed with peat smoked barley, organic juniper berries, vanilla & maple syrup then aged in oak tanks. Raisins, figs, and plums with a splash of vanilla, a hint of maple syrup, and a huge amount of oak.

I get the maple, and definitely vanilla. A little sweetness to it, probably from the maple, would taste good with a big ole pile of pancakes! Thank you Michael F. for the bottle!

A heady aperitif after a hearty meal. Woody, vanilla, piney hops and thick, resiny body. Gift from Kip!

A fantastic beer, wish I’d bought more. Great for celebrating the snow with.

It’s complex, trying to figure out what I am drinking is it beer, molasses, old coffee, or an ash tray. Not a favorite

Yep still not my thing. Hangover in a single bottle. Malt madness upside the peat profile is down #latertap #drinkthecellar

Dustin once called himself a #certifiedhophead for drinking this. Now I think he would tell you if you haven't had a beer from a well in Cambodia filtered by ancient beetle tusks you really aren't having beer at all.

1-22-16 bottle pulled from cellar. Liking how well this is drinking now. Oak is most prevalent and maple/vanilla are, of course, faded, but good spice notes of cardamom and nutmeg from the age. Nice for a change up in style...solid 4

2015 Vintage - Super smooth after 5 years! Mild maple, vanilla, and oak flavors. Still delicious after all these years. One of my favorites!

From 2016. Aging really brings out the wood characteristics and some smoky flavors. Really smooth!

2015 vintage. A touch of smoke. Some of the complexity has leveled out. Still enjoyed very much.

Very malty, yet somehow not overpowering. I can taste the maple.

Herbal and smokey aroma. Complex taste with notes of peated Scotch, dry vermouth and honeyed tea. 11%ABV barely noticeable. Dry finish.

This is an extremely strong ale just this side of a Barleywine. Sweet...with a full aroma. Excellent.

2016 had this vintage when fresh I gave it a 4.25 this beer is incredibly complex and cellaring it definitely benefits it. Wow! Got one more I'll have in another five years see how it goes.

Malty, grainy, a bit nutty, with a raisin-y aroma. Hints of vanilla, maple, but definitely oaky.

01/22/16. Holding up fantastically well. I was pleasantly surprised by the newly expanded vintage beer section. I'm not going to pass on a chance to buy a bottle of this. It's been a long time.
