3 Tasted like Chardonnay

3.5 Good not great quad

4.7 10 year old 2007 330 ml bottle found a single bottle in Cardiff by the Sea liquor store ($6.99). Pours a pretty orange with virtually no head. Sweet fruity aroma. Excellent, so smooth, sweet but less so and not as sticky as as fresher versions.

4.58 2014 Vintage A - unique orange color with light white head that dissipates quickly S - nice sweetness T - similar sweetness of apricot and vinous sherry or port M - slightly sticky O - very good if you like a sweet beer - similar to an excellent aged old ale

3.5 Not great tasting.

still not real good

still didn't like it

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

4.25 Great scotch ale

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).
