Surprisingly excellent. Hope this trend continues.

Very enjoyable. Oxidation has leveled off with last few.

Better than expected. Very enjoyable. Slight off taste at the end

Enjoyed at HCBS #10. So good we had to drink 2. Surprised a few on how well the smoke and peat work with the BA stout. No significant issues with slight oxidation.

Very good! This one had little signs of oxidation. Loved it

OK carbonation. Not as oxidized as others. Scotch barrel fading.

Starting to fade. Need to run through these fast.

This one not great, oxidized.

Infinitely better than the last bottle. No signs of mentionable oxidation.

Oxidation setting in. Drink ASAP.

Fun times at Josh and Mel's.

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 at HCBS #10. Cinnamon really coming through, maybe too much. Delicious and great finish to the evening.

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.

End of the line for collection. Will stick with fresh going forward. Still very good.

Coffee notes less luscious than older releases. More bitter.

Michelle enjoyed

This one seemed a bit light on flavors. Very good

Still great. Good coffee.

Still impressive. Picking up some cayenne, cinnamon. Seemed a bit stale at first but really opened up nicely.

Spicier, clove, well within the window, next to no oxidation

2017 bottle. Pours black with no head. Nose has great blend of vanilla and chocolate notes with a hint of cherry. Taste is amazing bringing out the oak and highlighting the vanilla on the big base with other berry flavors of raspberry, mild strawberry. Body is as big as it gets and is the best of any ale out there. Carbonation is near zero, and that's ok. Age has done this one well at 7 years.

Enjoying this much more than I previously did. Great body backing up a vanilla and boozy base.

Enjoyed in the yard, fireside. Great flavors, wish it had more body

HCBS #9. In great shape and enjoyed by all. Mild sourness, grapefruit bitterness providing great background. Orange flavor slight.

Great, started drinking in the pool. Had to finish next day

Great share with Seth and Janine.

Good but not the best.

First notes of vanilla. Taste: barrel back, coconut, orange peel, chocolate, boozy.

Drinking great, a little boozy. Taste complex of bourbon, chocolate, berries.

Enjoyed with Uncle Bob.

F1 race night at COTA with Patrick. Near black, small beige head, not much retention or lacing. Nose showing strawberry and roasted coffee with some whisky. Taste desert like again with strawberry and coconut but brings the booze and port notes. The heavy body works well with the sweetness.

Smooth drinking at F1 with Patrick. Brilliant creation.

More sour than I hoped, but that thought came back on release day. Complex flavors, good.

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.
