3.79/5 rDev -4.5% look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.5 750 ml A - Nice dark brown color with big tan head S - Surprising and interesting sour tart smell T - a bit different than the nose, little tartness, very mild - too mild in flavor for me M - a bit thin O - very light overall especially for a BA beer or even a scotch ale - a little disappointing

3.86/5 rDev -11.1% look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4 A - nice deep brown and strong head S - light sweetness (too light though) T - completely hides alcohol heat, but chocolate and coffee flavor is very light M - nice thickness O - nice, but too light in flavor for me - needs stronger something to distingush it

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 A - dark leather, nice head S - oak, bourbon, dark fruit, even some chocolate T - bourbon forward, dark fruit M - nice, some thickness O - good BBA beer, bourbon a bit too dominate to let more other flavor come through, though. I think aging a bit might have made this even better.

8 y.o. 4 - surprisingly it's good again, sweet tasty

Still good, but not as sweet as I remembered. 4ish

4.45/5 rDev +6.7% look: 3.5 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5 2009 vintage A - Apple cider, cloudy S - Dark fruit, stone fruit, very nice strong aromas T - Same dark and stone fruit with a nice boozy flavor, with no alcohol burn M - nice fairly chewy O - very good, tasty and very smooth

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.

Rated on BA. 4 overall. Nice taste malty/wheat/light banana and balance with light clove spice finish.

4 good but very subtle, no additional flavor from the oak aging that I could taste

5 So smooth and subtle taste of candied fruit, maybe Apricots.

4.5 Very good, bitter chocolate, vanilla and coffee with a slight bitter finish
