Not much better than the one just purchased off a warm shelf. Missed the prime by a long shot.

Highly oxidized but drinkable. A bit of whiskey and some barrel.

Oxidized badly but drinkable. Enjoyed.

Seems to be making a comeback. Finish is off but not terribly. Good roasty and cocoa notes. Enjoyable.

Super happy with this bottle. Roasty malt, great color, no flaws. Even the finish is clean. Great mouthfell. Might be drier than originally.

Holding up but the end is coming

Surprisingly good!

Now sure these have much longer to go. Very drinkable but getting some aftertaste issues.

Big mouth feel and great carbonation. High abv diminished head retention quickly. Slight oxidation on nose and palate. Taste chocolate, dried fruit, molasses. Sweet, approaching dessert.

Drinking well. Seems a bit more bitter.

Drinking very good, moderate sour, no roughness or soapiness.

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.

Enjoyed on Xmas with Seth.

Enjoyed at HCBS #10. Yeasty neck. Taste was solid farmhouse, no issues. Green glass may have made it a bit more funky.

Green glass. Great pour with foamy white head. Clean grassy nose. Taste a bit hoppy with slight funk background. Surprisingly good carbonation and light body. No flaws to mention.

Accidentally drank, no more 12 year vertical this year. Started a bit green pepper and later became ok. Still pretty great for an old stout.

Wow, this one was very good. Great body, expected flavors, not much degradation.

Nose: bourbon barrel, molasses, fig. Taste: boozy, some oxidation, bourbon, sherry, sawdust. Toffee, Body: rich, light carb.

Super awesome.

Wow, continues to be amazing. Boozy, rich, big cocoa note, Can't find a flaw.

Still amazing. Showing signs of oxidation.

Falling in flavor with some improvement with air time.

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

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.

Nose: dried fruit, Taste: more dried fruits, Body: More drying.

Super fantastic. Glad I have a bunch!
