No head retention at all. Very good, no negative aging. Similar to last time.

Light body, light sour, good citrus.

Not impressed. Oxidized, thin, mild barrel on nose but lost otherwise.

Light brown with copper hue, minimal head and lacing. Nose has some wood, lime. Taste has unique barrel notes that bring green apple, lemon, astringency. Lighter body than expected and average carbonation.

Enjoyed with Patrick before ZZ Top at COTA. Held up surprisingly well, showed good peanut. Chocolate a bit faded, very slight oxidation.

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.
