3 y.o. 4.0 good, not that sweet though

2 y.o. 3.9

3.9 good but not sweet enough

3.9 good, not real sweet for an EBW

3.75 1 year old. good but not great. not that sweet and a little bitter. maybe longer will be better.

2+ y.o. 4 super smooth but not sweet or flavorful enough

1.5 year real good, was better (smoother) than a 1 year - lots of floats though

3.9 good, not great, not very sweet and a lot of floaties

Mini Vert - 2 year slightly better than the 1 year. However both were very particle filled and I didn't think either was as good as the 1 year old a year ago.

4.25 really good - flavorful and smooth. barrel was nice, but wine barrel aspect maybe detracted a bit.

2 y.o. 4.0

2 y.o. 4.0 lots of floaties

1 year good, but 1.5 year was better (smoother) - lots of floats though

4.0 very good, not overly complex or intense on flavor - lots of floaties

4.3 complex very good, more flavorful as it warms

4.25 very good, maybe could be more integrated??? Maybe age for a while?

4.5 excellent - smooth interesting complex taste

2015 4 yo 4.6 Excellent. Had up north with Matt, awesome sweet BQ stone fruit flavors and super smooth.

3 yo only 4.2 may be a recent purchase from Discount, so maybe on the shelf for a while?

3 y.o by year, 4.5 excellent, super sweet and sticky

5 y.o. 2013 4.1 not as good as fresher versions I've had. Was (on shelf) at Sonoma Cellars for 2.5 years, so maybe light or heat was the issue

3 yr. maybe - 2015 in Mar 2018 4.5 excellent, sweet dark fruit - perfect Belgian DSA

4.25 very sweet - not at all hot, but packs a punch!

4.5 Excellent. Probably about 2 years old. Maybe not quite as good (strong stone fruit sweetness, sticky moutfeel) as the one that was 9 month more aged that I had previously.

2013 vintage so 2-3 years old 4.83 look: 4 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5A - Very dark brown/black, head dissipates quickly. S - Sweet, dark fruit and chocolate. T - Absolutely delicious. Very sweet, one of the sweetest beers I've had, but complex. Lots of sweet dark fruit, with the chocolate and coffee flavor of a very good stout. M - Thick and smooth, very nice. O - Excellent. BSDA are my favorite, and this probably jumped into my top five beers. If you like big sweet beers, I'd highly recommend it.

3 yo 4.1 good not great

3 yo 4.3 very good (750 bottle actually)

4.24/5 rDev +19.8% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.75 | overall: 4.25 Bottle aged six months, but very similar to my thoughts on the two times it had it on draft A - dark brown/black with a thin tan head S - sweet malty aroma T - very smooth, sweet malt, dark stone fruit flavors M - excellent, very thick for a quad O - exactly the flavor I would want of a very good quad with a particularly good mouthfeel

3.9 good - different

4. 0 6 months - real good, still plenty of coffee

4.2

4.0 A - dark almost black S - coffee with some sweetness T - very strong smoked flavor (not my preference) smooth but lighter than expected - strong coffee but little to no chocolate (as advertised) but good M - fairly thin (but maybe I'm thinking about stouts with the coffee/chocolate aspect) O - very good

2014 (2012 vintage) 5/7 yo 4.4 excellent super flavorful with stone fruit and caramel

3.5 years 4.25

4.5 very good

4.25 very good

4.75 4+ year old vintage, 2+ year old from bottling This is beer is a barrel aged version of Black Albert. Pours very dark near pitch black with a strong tan head. The nose and taste were chocolate, vanilla, and really nice dark stone fruit (raison) much more so than I'm used to in an IS - more like in a great aged Belgian Dark Strong Ale. It made it a bit different, more complex and better than most really good barrel aged Imperial Stouts. And it was the smoothest IS I've ever had - no bitterness at all (which I loved) and no bite whatsoever even at 11% ABV. One of the best beers I had.

4+ good but nothing special

4.1 solid smooth

fresh 4.0 smooth but not a ton of flavor

mini vert 1 year vs. fresh - liked the fresh slightly better as it had more (barrel) flavor but the one year was super smooth.

11 mo. 4.2 very good

4.2 7 mo. old very good, chocolatey

4.0 good not great - not very complex. just an off night or falling off?

4.5 now seems way better - very chocolatey, vanilla, smooth

4.2 very good. something in the finish/aftertaste could be better.

Good not spectacular, maybe 4.1

Good still

Tasted against a SMS, liked KBS slightly better.

4.25 Release day - Fresh. Seemed not as thick and rich as I remember the fresh KBS from 2016 being.
