Significant drop-off from when I last opened one. Front end is malty, sweet, molasses, spice, oak but the middle and the finish are totally gone. The flavor is in the front end then it just disappears and finishes like water. Note to self, 5 year limit.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) H.
My favorite example of World Wide Stout. There's a big, classic stout in there but these barrels bring in a brandy type quality with a lot of caramel. It's boozy but in the proper way.

Roasted malts pull the profile of this beer far away from a traditional barleywine. Scotch ale and black ale notes. The beer is good but in the style it's a pass for me.

Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018) H.
Love it more each time I drink one. Sweet, malty, a little barrel and molasses spice. Ultimately, not a huge range of flavors but the flavors that are present are very enjoyable.

What a bummer. This beer used to be so good. Now it's blasted with that overpowering artificial coffee flavor that the new versions of KBS have.
