4 yo 4.0 a little soury and not very sweet

3.75 Just ok - smooth but not a lot of flavor. 2015 so more than 1 yo up to 2 yo. Not worth the price.

4.25 Great scotch ale

3+ y.o. 4.1 very good - smooth tasty.

3.75 2 yo vs. 1 yo mini vert. Not much difference besides no head on the 2 yo. Both no bitterness but not a lot of flavor/sweetness. Maybe a little cardboard oxidation?

1 year old much better than fresh in mini vert

1.5 years 4.1 very smooth

4.0

Mini vert 18 months vs. 12 months. Both around 4.0. 12 month was better as the 18 month had a little smokey flavor. Both very smooth, no alcohol bite and only very slight bitterness. But not a lot of complexity or other good flavors either - not a lot of chocolate or brunt sugar sweetness.

2 years <4.0 smokey/sour flavor (not good for me)

Good. A little smoky flavor???

4.25 very good at a year. smooth not bitter nice roast flavors

4.65 Bottle date 4-10-14 so almost 3 years A - dark brown nice tan head S - super nice sweet caramel and toffee T - outstanding with sweet toffee, caramel, and dark fruit. Very subtle barrel. Very smooth with absolutely no bitterness. M - nice stickiness to go with the style O - excellent

1 y.o. + at lest a 2016 4.25 super smooth, but did it lose some barrel compared to fresher ones? Not sure on aged from at a hole in the wall Luecdia store when now was supposed to be available.

4.7 Pitch black with a solid tan head. Strong bourbon scent with vanilla. Taste is delicious - vanilla, chocolate, toasted coconut. Very smooth with no burn or bitterness. Nice sticky mouthfeel. Overall this is an excellent BA IS and somewhat different than most of the other high end BA ISs - but very expensive.

4.5 excellent. Smooth strong tasty barrel. Unique and very good.
