When
Drank 12 oz of Founders Imperial Stout by Founders Brewing (2014-12-02)June 24th, 2016
2017-01-04
Yeah, pretty good at 2 years but few stand up to Expedition.
2016-04-11
Dark and roasty, molasses. I like this a lot better than their Breakfast Stout (maybe I need to try that one again) but not as much as Expedition Stout. Still a great beer.

Over a year old but doesn't taste much different than fresh. Maybe not worth the cellar space to age this one?

Not a huge whiskey presence. Lots of cocoa in the aroma. Lots of coffee in the taste, especially at cooler temps.

Drank 12 oz of Brewer's Reserve Bourbon Barrel Barleywine by Central Waters Brewing Company (2016-01-14)June 13th, 2016

This is insanely good. Pure dessert. Hops barely present compared to the 2017 at this point. Not sure how much to attribute to vintage vs. age.
2016-04-13
Drank a bottle with a dessert consisting of butterscotch pudding and homemade shortbread. Really brought out the "American" style. Hops were much more prevalent when consumed with sweeter foods. Still amazing every time.

Best just below room temperature.

Drank 12 oz of Backwoods Bastard by Founders Brewing (2015-10-06)June 12th, 2016
2017-11-03
Still good, maybe not as balanced as it could be. Smokier, burnt caramel, enough bourbon but not a bomb. More barrel than bourbon.

Lost about all the bourbon in the flavor. I expected it to be smoother by now but it's still quite boozy. Very sweet, in a good way, though.

Cocoa powder. Held up better than the Scotch Ale, little bourbon left. Doesn't benefit from aging, though.
2017-07-23
Yes.
2016-11-22
Tried this next to the (very fresh) 2016 and there's no comparison. The 2015 is so mellow and rich and deep. Should be interesting to compare after another year.
2016-06-10
Yes. So much flavor. Doesn't have the rick, thick, bite of a RIS but so good. Lots of barrel character. Vanilla in the aroma, chocolate in the flavor. No need to buy Uncle Jacob's Stout anymore.
