4.0 good, but a little smokiness and not as sweet as I would like/remember

4.2 very good at 7 mo. but would go too much longer

6 mo. really good 4.25 maybe could be even better with time/less bitterness and coffee still strong enough

4.35 slight bitterness on first few sips, then smooth and flavorful. The coffee is still very strong.

4.25 Very good again.

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.

Very good 4.25 at 5 months- maybe better than fresh was

Tasted against a KBS, liked KBS slightly better.
