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.

4 almost 2 years old - soury sweetness that reminded me of Black Boss porter

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
