Somerset dove camp. Tart and drinkable. Very good.

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.

Enjoyed at Blast n Cast. Drinking incredibly well. Nose is perfect, very minor oxidation on taste. Great molasses booziness. Finish is slightly flawed.

Enjoyed in pool. Loved it.

Falling in flavor with some improvement with air time.

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Worst of show, boozy.

After some air it drank amazingly. Big body, very minor difference from new. Boozy and delicious.

Enjoyed at HCBS #17 before a 2022. Wow, this one continues to hold up great! Was the favorite of the two hands-down. Bigger body and more complex.

A bit disappointed on this one. Heavy mold on the cap but no infiltration on seal. Good flavor up front but finish not as good as others in this year.

Somerset dove camp. Great with some signs of oxidation.

At Gulpha Gorge campground fireside. Simply wonderful as usual.

Nose: chocolate, fig, dark cherry. Taste: Boozy, brighter flavors. Body: Much smoother, more carb.

Needed air for 10 min then spectacular

Great ale at Black Gap WMA

A bit medicinal, hot, boozy. Very good but not the best bottle in this vintage.

Another great bottle. I have to search for oxidation. Tremendous!

Doing great

Notes of cherry and strawberry.

Dark, good beige head retention. Nose prunes, coconut, roasted malt. Taste standard stout, not much barrel, boozy. A bit thin on feel for the style and mild carbonation.

Camping at lake wright patman in Texarcana. Boozy with lighter body, excellent. Coffee still showing, and just fantastic.

Need to really let this one warm. Thick and chocolatey with coffee well integrated. Big head that forms slowly if poured hard.

Drinking great.

Excellent all around and similar to when released. Enjoyed with Brad and Mike K at Indiana Dunes.

Great slightly translucent red, light carbonation. Nose light blend of cherry and funk. Taste of cherry is tart with more sour from lactic, very dry. Balanced fruit and funk.

So fantastic. Mild cheese notes. Enjoyed with Brad at Indiana Dunes.

Excellent low sour ale. Enjoyed with Derek and Mandy.

At HCBS meeting hosted by Todd. Alongside 2021. Muted peach, more champagne like, hint astringency.

8 years old and fantastic! Pours clear golden with some head but near still, no lacing. Nose mildly funky, melon, and citrus. Taste a bit of spice, pepper, coriander, sweet lime, mild sour and farmhouse finish. Medium body.

The end of an era. Bought these 15 years ago! This last bottle had a great chocolate note with near heavy moutfeel. Oxidation in check. Truly enjoyed. Not seen a a 7oz bottle in a very long time.

Poker at Jason's. Bad but not as horrible as the last one.

No good. Oxidation taken over. Not much hope.

A little more signs of oxidation. Still holding roasted malt flavors.

Shocked at this 10 year old stout. Not sure how, but oxidation is next to nothing. Rich, unique flavor layered on the roasted malt.

Super port bomb. Loved by all that tasted

Poker at Jason's. Super awesome, no off flavors. Enjoyed by all.

Big dried fruit flavor, thick, sweet, light oxidation.

Continues to please. Need more.

Big dried fruit, apricot, smooth, slight oxidation.

Enjoyed at Mustang Island State Park with wonderful cheeses. Had that drying coffee notes with decent above normal body. Very good!

Poker at Jason's. Ages very well and enjoyed by all. Good wood and molasses flavors.

The citrus with funk led to sour that was a bit much.
