4.3 very very smooth at 2 years

ok maybe 3.75+ - not worth aging

4-4.25 smooth tasty roasted malts chocolate hints

2016 2 y.o. 4.3 very good - not sure it's better than the 2017 I had recently

2017 1 y.o. 4.35 very good

2017 1 yo 4.2

2017 10 months old 4.35 excellent

Fresh 2017 4.35 Really good - but not as good as the 1 y.o. 2016 from the prior week

Good/Bad. Smell was tremendous - sweet barleywine, but taste had some off/cardboard?/oxidized flavor? Maybe 4+

2014 Vintage A- Really nice reddish color, very unique S- Smell dominated by bourbon T- Carmely sweet balanced by still strong bourbon finish, and this has been aged a year since purchase O- Good but still a bit hot. The BB flavor still overpowers the malty sweet flavors. I'll age the other bottle I have for a while longer.

5 yo 4.3 starting to go down hill - was a bought recently from a store

4.5 yo 4.5 May have aged less than optimally in the store until recently purchased

3 y.o. 4.9 just superb!

4.9 Excellent I'm not sure what could be better - sweet but complex, smooth, balanced and sticky.

Very good 4.5

4.8/5 rDev +11.1% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.75 9/14 bottling so aged 2 years A - red/brown/orange color with a quickly dissipating head S - wonderful complex sweetness with the barrel coming through nicely T - about as good as it gets - sweet smooth and balanced M - nice and sticky O - one of the best beers I've ever had - I was saving it for a special occasion and the Badgers beating LSU in the season opener was the perfect occasion!

4 yo 4.3 very good, a bit light but tasty banana clove flavors

2.5 y.o. 4.1 good, smooth, fairly tasty

4.2 tasty sweet smooth malty with bready fruit flavors

2 y.o. good 4.0 but not as sweet as fresh

ok not great - maybe 3.75. may not be worth aging

2 y.o. 4.3 super smooth - no burn at all, but lost some brunt sugar sweetness

Excellent. no dropoff. >4.5

Still great!

4.85/5 rDev +10.7% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5 A - dark with nice tan head S - really nice sweet roasted aroma T - WOW, so good. amazing flavor with no burn. There is a delicious familiar flavor - I think it's camp fire roasted marshmellows. M - nice thick but not sticky O - it's hard to day a 12 oz beer is worth this price, but it is at least once. One of the best beers I have ever tasted

15 months old, didn't really like it. had a soury fruit taste (similar to Cease and Desist also a Belgian IS) 3+

Very good at 3 years 4.5, but not a lot different than classic - slight Chardonnay flavoring.

3.9 good but a bit light

2.75 years 4.3 great taste, sticky sweet, but a lot of floaties

2 y.o. 4.25 sticky sweet, really good

4.2 very good at 18 months

4.25 really good - sweet and sticky/thick

4.25 Sweet, thick, flavorful - very good.

Very good at 1 year 4.25+

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

Way down from fresh 4/4.25

Definitely losing taste - less flavorful and more bitterness coming through.

I think it is dropping off. Some bitterness which is surprising - that should dissipate. Maybe the lessening coffee is allowing that to come through.

still great

Still strong coffee flavor

very good, very smooth, no bitterness at all

excellent coffee and chocolate, but a slight bitterness at the finish - is there a sweet spot where this dies off before you lose the coffee too much?

4.58/5 rDev +0.4% | Avg: 4.56 look: 4.75 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5 Fresh as possible - 4/1 release, purchase and consumption A - Super black with a tremendous tan/brown head S - Very strong and pleasing coffee and chocolate T - Delicious with coffee flavor dominance, very slight bitterness at the finish F - Thick and oily O - Fantastic coffee stout - results meet the hype. Lucky enough to have landed 11 more that I'll consume over time (up to one year unless it starts lose too much coffee).

20 months 4.6 Excellent. Tasted vs. a fresh 2017, less spicy, and way more vanilla and chocolate. Much better than the fresh bottle.

4.35 still just as good

Still very good 4.25

losing some flavor at 6 months, I think.

Really really good, sweet smooth and flavorful. At least 4.5

great!

about 4 months. vanilla aroma very prominent and nice. coffee is down a lot in nose and taste. 4.5

still just as good - a bit more cinnamon in the taste

4.41/5 rDev -0.7% look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 L - nice dark black with a big tan head S - Coffee, chocolate,vanilla and barrel T - Layered with the same as the aroma with cinnamon coming in lightly late in the taste through the finish M - nice, not too heavy but somewhat sticky O - very good, a great complex BA stout and a value for the price

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

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.
