Can definitely taste the age on it. Getting chocolate, coffee and cinnamon notes. Dark chocolate lingers long afterwards.

This has lost a lot of its original character in 4 years. A bit of coffee, malt and a subtle cinnamon finish. Will have to try a 2018 for comparison.

Yum

Getting way more pumpkin in this than when it was fresh, which is crazy. Definitely showing it’s age, but not in a bad way.

Very boozy. Lots of sediment firmly suspended. Sweeter than I remember.

Stood up very well after 3 years.

Smelled similar to Bourbon County, but flavor is very different. Tastes a little like a Bourbon County mixed with a Barleywine. Slight sharpness or bitterness. Very unique.

Very strong dark chocolate with a little too much bitterness. Coffee takes a back seat to the chocolate, but likely adds some bitterness of its own. Regardless, it’s really good.

This tastes a bit more bitter than I remember. Perhaps this wasn’t stored properly. Just bought it but is a year old.

Smells so good. Lots of bourbon and coffee on the nose. The only downside for me is the bitterness, which gets stronger on the aftertaste.

Lots of dark chocolate and malt with a bit of sweetness. On the thinner side and not terribly complex. Good, but not one of my favorites from them.

Really good. Lots of coffee at the front, followed by tons of dark chocolate. No loss of flavor after 1 year.

Loads of dark chocolate with a hint of coffee. Finish is roasted malt and lingering dark chocolate. Held up well.

Really good until the very end when bitterness sets in and becomes the only thing lingering on the palette.

I’ve had similar tasting beers. I couldn’t drink more than one at a time, but it’s pretty good. I get the peanut, but not the strawberry.

Overwhelming earl gray tea flavor; not much else. Flavor doesn’t change much as it warms. Good, but in small doses.

Held up well. Wish I could find more of these.

Held up well. Plenty of coffee and barrel, though seems like very little carbonation.

Really roasty and whiskey is well pronounced. Dark chocolate flavors also present.

Excellent barleywine.

Held up really well despite most carbonation being gone.

Held up amazingly well.

Sadly there’s not much left to this after 9 years. Just a hint of tartness from the cherries on the finish.

Lots of chocolate. Cherry is subtle. On the thin side, but good flavor.

Very sweet. Not my favorite member of the Bourbon County family, but still good. Has to be sipped to counteract the sweetness.

Sweet with flavors of caramel and apples, with a hint of cinnamon. The booziness is well hidden but becomes more prominent in the finish. I prefer their classic barleywine, which sadly they haven’t made in 2 years now. This is like dessert.
