Enjoyed with Scott and Tim visiting Michelle. Dark brown with a slight red hue, minimal head. Nose with slight fruit note, some chocolate. Taste currant fruit forward, taking over. Body is a bit above average, low carbonation. No sign of bourbon or barrel.

Very much enjoyed while preparing Yule prime rib.

Fantastic at 12 years old! Has not fallen as hard as I thought. Hint of lavender on taste.

Really falling off. Lacking most flavor. Not really off, but need to roll through these.

Great Father's Day treat with Scott and Michelle. Oxidation quite present but not a deal buster.

Superb on Valentine's Day!

Enjoyed at HCBS #10. Everyone loved this 10-year-old ale. Spectacular nose and taste, floral, and distinctly Westvleteren.

Dec 12 special and excellent. Amazing after 9 years. Trying to find flaws and not happening.

Enjoyed at Pat and Sue's. Still wonderful.

8 years old and outstanding. The bubbles on pour fully present and active. Nose has all the wonderful westy notes. Taste full with minimal oxidation. Very impressed.

Merry Christmas on Lake Texoma! Hiss on open but no head, near still, brown. Nose having a caramel accent. Taste is divine as fresh.

Strong boozy, drinking well with some oxidation notes. Will watch for years to come.

Tasting wonderful tonight.

Outstanding as ever. Slight oxidation.

Absolutely continues to amaze.

Oxidation present on taste. Still carrying the excellent qualities as expected.

Enjoyed in the pool.

Deep red color, not much head. Nose dominated by berry. Taste also very berry, raspberry and strawberry. Hides 12% very well.

Wide variety of flavors. Berries hit hard with backup by chocolate. Love it!

Enjoyed with Patrick at Fredericksburg RV Park. Flawless flavor. Sour, blackberry present. Light body and moderate carbonation.

Enjoyed at HCBS #27. Drinking very well!

Poolside share with my babe, Patrick, Sue, Janine, and Sam. Accolades from all. Amazing for the age and great flavors.

Tastes like JK. No trace of degradation.

Pours pretty much like any BCBS. Dark, minimal head. Nose comes more like candy, like something sweet. Taste is more sweet than standard. Good blend of the base, fruit, and booze. Huge body, minimal carbonation.

Enjoyed at HCBS #15. Well past its prime but not a drain pour.

Enjoyed at HCBS #15. Very good with light fruit notes. Other flavors still coming through strong.

Beautiful golden color, hiss on bottle open but minimal foam or lacing. Nose carries the major components of lime leaf and apricot peach more present on taste as well at the white wine barrel. Light funk with subdued sourness makes this one come together nicely. Lighter body and carbonation.

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Solid.

Enjoyed at HCBS #15. Holding up well and loved by all.

Taste very good but body seemed a bit thinner than expected.

Somerset dove camp. Drinking at peak.

Nose: varnish. Taste: harsh, not good finish. Body: thinner, not best feel.

Perfect as expected

Happy New Year!

Wonderful at 3 years

Great, no noticable oxidation. Still boozy.

At Komie's for the 4th. Well liked by all, caramel, wood, boozy.

Almost no foam on pour. Outstanding flavors.

A bit past prime but very good.
