Opened to celebrate Avery’s graduation. Pours like oil with trace carbonation. Rich, thicc, tobacco, hint of oxidation, some port, roast and some alcohol bite. Still on point.

Ben

Malty and boozy with remarkable amount of potent hop still at 4 years. Caramel, raisin, fig, pine, even bit of maple. More like an American Barleywine than imperial ipa for sure.

Ben

Virtual interview beverage. Nice thick head interesting for the style. Dark malts, molasses, roasty, and bitterness balances it all well. Melding together nice after a couple years.

Ben

Dropped when carrying in and may have a cap leak so decided to open. Oak, vanilla, bourbon and a drier thinner stout than all those pastry ones out now.

Ben

Opened for Avery’s acceptance to osu. Thick and rich with utopia on the nose here. Vanilla from the barrel cushions the bit of residual heat along with the finishing gravity.

Ben

Haven’t had in quite awhile so wanted to try. Still like the old labels better. Thick, roasty coffee, oats, bit of sweetness to match and oh so nice.

Ben

What a day to be alive. It’s released again! Bourbon barrel stronger than last edition at least for now but otherwise a potential cure for cancer.

Ben

Opening last bottle to celebrate lions on Monday night and Avery getting his first college acceptance letter. So smooth and amazing blend of barrel and adjuncts over a great base stout.

Ben

Accompanying jambalaya cooking. This is vanilla strong liquid French toast. The barrel shows up and lingers at the end. Maple represents quite a bit as well. Just need some smoked malt for the bacon addition.

Ben

Stealing dregs for this years colambic solera. Super dry and loads of initial frothy head that drops quick. Perfect blend of tart and apple, white peach, and tannins.

Ben

Thick and black without really any heat. Velvety with cognac and oaked bourbon. Bit of maple, raisin, coffee, dark fruit as well. A ton going on.

Ben

Masterful.

Ben

Upfront cherry tartness and bit of oak and vanilla behind it. Very smooth and a bit vinous even.

Ben

Still amazing and even better melded together with a few years.

Ben

On the dry side despite some residual sweetness and hops have faded dramatically. More of an oaked English ale.

2016-17 bottle. Dry and crisp yet not thin at all. Tart and finishes with restrained funk. Wow.

Ben

A bit sweeter version of your mom. Agave was honey like at start but finally showed up as it warmed near end of bottle.
