1 finger head, bubbles linger. Definite hop presence even after 27 months. A bit of chocolate malt, hop bitterness, and dried dark fruit. Really a nice, complex stout.

Nearly two years old. Black but not thick. Still has a nice head, half a finger and bubbles that stick around. Scent is gentle malty sweetness with a hint of cocoa. Taste is subtle coffee, chocolate covered raisins. Hops seem to be gone, but there is a faint bitterness still. Slightly sweet, coffee finish. Very nice, age has done this beer well.
Drank Old Foghorn by Anchor Brewing (2016-12)June 28th, 2018
2018-12-25
Brown sugar, figs, toffee, tea, bit of hop bitterness.
2018-06-28
Huge, foamy head. Deep amber. A layer of bubbles linger. Scent is a bit of hop, both british and american, brown sugar. Taste is brown sugar, tea, molasses, slight bitterness, a hint of tropical hop, tea-like finish. Very complex.
Drank 22 oz of Wheat Wine by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (2014)June 14th, 2018
2016-11-16
Pours with a nice head, some bubbles remain. Deep clear amber. Scent is pretty much boozy. Taste is alcohol, with some underlying caramel malty barleywine flavor. Body is thinner like a wheat. Essentially like a somewhat watered down (in taste and body, but not in alchohol) barleywine.
Drank 12 oz of Grand Cru by Brouwerij Rodenbach (2015-12)May 29th, 2018
2018-05-29
Not much change from a year ago. Lots of fruity sweetness, tartness, and a hint of oak. Excellent beer.
Drank Bourbon Barrel Quad by Schlafly (2018-02)May 5th, 2018
2018-05-05
Not a ton of bourbon, nice dark fruity quad flavors.
Drank 22 oz of Really Old Brown Dog Ale by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (2012)April 25th, 2018
2018-04-25
Still excellent carbonation. A bit of oxidation, but just enough that it's pleasant and gained a bit of complexity over the last one I'd tried. Still a great beer at 6 years.
2017-09-27
Same notes as before, even more head actually.
2017-04-12
1 finger head (still), clear deep amber. A bit of sediment. Molasses, brown sugar, and a bit of booze. Still nice at ~5 years.
2016-11-16
Past prime. Perhaps drink others more quickly.
Drank 375 ml of Rooted in Friendschip by White Rooster (2018-03)April 23rd, 2018
2018-04-23
Murky peach colored, ring of bubbles linger. Scent is tumeric, sour, hint of funk. Taste is moderately-strong sour, tumeric, breadiness, and tartness in the finish. Very nice, see how it ages.
Drank 750 ml of Miles Davis' Bitches Brew by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2015-02)April 11th, 2018
2018-04-11
Big, mocha head. Smells like a big, roasty stout. Taste is more stout-like, a bit more bitter, less sweet than fresh. Complex, but lost the sweetness of fresh, so a bit less complex. Still a great beer, although I'd probably not age this more than a year, or else try to age it 3-4 years to see if any aged flavors come through.
Drank 12 oz of Wood-aged bitches brew stout by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2018)April 10th, 2018
2018-04-10
Big, foamy mocha head. A nice layer of bubbles lingers. Scent is a little roasty, a little hoppy. Taste is sweet, roasty, a little bitter, a hint of wood. Hugely complex. Finish is balance of sweet and roasty. Complexity is off the chain, and some very unique flavors.
Drank Bigfoot by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. (2015-12-04)March 23rd, 2018
Drank 22 oz of Barleywine Style Ale by Smuttynose Brewing Co. (2013)March 15th, 2018
2018-03-15
Notes similar to a year ago, although head is big with beautiful lacing. 5 years old with seemingly no carbonation lost. Wonderfully complex, perfectly balanced American barleywine. A little bitterness, a little sweetness, a lot of complexity. Only one more and I'll truly be sad when they're gone.

Deep amber, clear, with a one-finger head. A nice layer of bubbles linger. Brown sugar, caramel, toffee aromas. Taste is toffee, brown sugar, caramel, dried black cherries, molasses, a hint of vanilla, and a bit of resiny hop bitterness still remains. No cardboard or signs of oxidation. Finish is just a bit boozy. Mouthfeel is smooth, carbonation hasn't hardly fallen off at all.
