House Of Hux II: The Huxening

I'll drink a 10 year old beer, but I draw the line at an 11 year old beer... 😉 After all this time the cherry sweetness is still there up front before the funk comes along with an almost aggressive hit of acetic acid. Interesting but a bit unbalanced.

LCI. Forgot to check this in last week. Haven't had a Grolsch swingtop in ages. Still a nice lager.

2nd old beer of the night, 10 months since it was canned. Bloody good given the age. Intense juice hops with plenty stonefruit, bit floral, some pineapple and coconut. Soft, sweet malt base and very slight balancing bitterness and ABV. Imagine it fresh!

That balanced combo of big flavoured chocolate, coffee and bourbon is always so impressive in this beer. Been a while since I've had a KBS, but the quality is still there, especially if it's got 4 years of aging on it. Silky smooth, low ABV burn.

Thought it would be interesting to age a very sweet 4% beer this long. Not so much. This still pretty much tastes of super sweet cherry cola. Still a nice beer but very sweet. Hope the 9 year old Oude Kriek I've got is more complex...

Last bottle. 😪 2014 batch (Best Before 5/12/2015). A very old Old Ale. I think I paid about $2.63 a bottle from Phoenix Liquor. Halcyon days. Still drinks like smooth toffee malt. No hint of the 9.8% ABV. Delicious.
