Consumption History
When
Drank 12 oz of Bomb! by Prairie Artisan Ales (2014-11)February 21st, 2022
2022-02-21
Very low head on aggressive pour, otherwise looks as expected. Coffee and chocolate nose. Taste is spit on with chilis bringing up the finish. Rich chocolate and good coffee notes. Successful test of time!
Drank 375 ml of Kriek 100% Lambic Bio by Brasserie Cantillon (2014-05-14)February 18th, 2022
2022-02-18
Beautiful light ruby color, white slightly pink head, minor retention, no lacing. Super funky nose, cherry in the background. Taste tart cherry, huge cherry, very sour and clean lactic. Medium body and carbonation.
Drank 500 ml of Origin of Darkness - Brewski Collab by Collective Arts Brewing (2018)February 18th, 2022
2022-02-18
2018 release. Black, opaque with no head or lacing. Weak nose, light berry. Taste nicely balanced with fruit, lemongrass, and dark malts playing against each other, some vanilla, but bourbon barrel is nearly undetectable. Big body and low carbonation.
Drank 22 oz of The Abyss Scotch Barrel-Aged by Deschutes Brewery (2016)February 17th, 2022
2022-02-17
Near black, brown head does not linger, no lacing. Nose wood, liquor, chocolate. Taste more of the same, some oxidation at 5+ years, boozy. Heavy body and light carbonation.
Drank 500 ml of Golden Grove by Vista Brewing (2019-12)February 15th, 2022
2022-02-15
Clear golden color with slightest have from sediment, no head or lacing. Super fruity nose, mild funk. Lactic tart, apple, not very citrusy, barnhouse notes on finish. Light feel and carbonation leads to stingy finish.
Drank 12 oz of 120 Minute IPA by Dogfish Head Craft Brewery (2014-02-17)February 7th, 2022
2022-02-07
8 year old IPA. Yes, it is good! Amazingly good for what it is. Hops did a fine job preserving the ale. Color seems darker that usual. Nose is still hoppy with less pine and more dim fruit. Taste malty, some oxidation, with greatly diminished hops more like barleywine than the original issue. Bigger body and medium-low carbonation.
Drank 750 ml of Darkness by Surly Brewing Co. (2014)February 4th, 2022
2022-02-04
Coming in late but not too late on this one. Pours near black with active brown head that fully dissipates. Nose of cherry, vanilla, light coffee. Taste adds chocolate but the fruit flavors of raisin and dried cherry is so present. Booziness from whiskey, slight burn with coffee finish. Body is perfect, a bit creamy, thick with mild carbonation. At over 7 years old simply amazing!
Drank 750 ml of Black Betty Imperial Stout - Reserve Series Aged In Whiskey Barrels by Nebraska Brewing Company (2014)February 1st, 2022
2022-02-01
Not much better than the one just purchased off a warm shelf. Missed the prime by a long shot.
2022-01-01
Highly oxidized but drinkable. A bit of whiskey and some barrel.
Drank 22 oz of Bourbon Barrel Aged Hellfighter w/ Chocolate by Karbach BrewingJanuary 30th, 2022
2022-01-30
By far the best variant. Great bourbon and chocolate notes. Would buy again.
Drank 22 oz of Bourbon Barrel Aged Hellfighter w/ Cherries by Karbach BrewingJanuary 12th, 2022
2022-01-12
Not oxidized, but rather flat. Cherry is there but not very cherry. Bourbon barrel less prominent than original.
Drank 22 oz of Bourbon Barrel Aged Hellfighter by Karbach BrewingJanuary 11th, 2022
2022-01-11
Considering unknown age, pretty good but oxidized. Nose has the bourbon barrel but also off. Taste pretty good.
Drank 750 ml of Vague Recollection by Jester King Craft Brewery (2016-11)January 10th, 2022
2022-01-10
Beautiful hue golden were the darker red hint, no head retention or lacing. Nose mild grape wine, other fruits of melon and citrus. Grape more prominent on taste, dry, mostly lactic with minor barnyard. No visible carbonation but present on palate.
Drank 500 ml of La Bonté with Plum by Wicked Weed (2015-10-09)January 8th, 2022
2022-01-08
Minor haze golden, slight white head. Nose conveys fruit and funk. Sourness pure lacto, clean, fruit nice addition, funky with slight cheese. Medium body and higher than expected carbonation for 5+ year old bottle.

Oxidized badly but drinkable. Enjoyed.

Seems to be making a comeback. Finish is off but not terribly. Good roasty and cocoa notes. Enjoyable.
2020-09-02
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.
