Enjoyed at HCBS #32. Super good and had a nice oakiness. Vanilla was present but light.

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 at HCBS #32. Wow, these old JK seem to last forever. Big favorite of the night. A bit more tart but still very well balanced.

Enjoyed at HCBS #32. Good but losing much of the orange flavor at this point. Too bad, it was initially overpowering and now I want more.

Quite disappointing. Almost no orange. Sweetness has toned down, though. Finish has an off flavor bitterness. Not holding up for less than 6 years old.

Unable to locate. Presumed drink.

Unable to locate but a Willet-ized remains without entry. Consuming the Willet-ized now to align.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. I felt it was very well balanced, and others thought it was sour.

Slightly bronze golden, not much head. Heavy coriander on the nose. Taste shows some black pepper and more coriander, funky sour.

Sour, good Belgian but too sour.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Not much there for the berries, just a touch on the finish. Sour.

All sweet notes are muted and melded with the farmhouse base. Very enjoyable.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Cherry still coming through. Very tart.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Chris S went nuts, one of his all-time must try beers., It was excellent.

Gift to John McIntosh at PJ's house.

Great as expected. Sugars mellowing a bit. Notes of vanilla and possibly licorice.

Shared at Memorial Day party. Loved by all.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Highly oxidized, consumed but not thoroughly enjoyed.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Really held up and was comparable to the 2024 release.

Enjoyed at HCBS #31. Fantastic overall but seemed a bit light on bourbon and wood notes.

Fantastic, but it will not last forever. Need to get these gone while still great.

Simply great

Brilliant as expected. Enjoyed at NHRA Fall Nationals. Big mouth feel, could use a bit more barrel. Boozy and simply fantastic.

Enjoyed at Acopon for Founders Day bottle share. Drinking as well as to be expected. Finish a little off but still good.

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.

Opened at Acopon for Founders Day bottle share. Not doing well. Sour on dark malt pretty bad.

Enjoyed at Founders Day share at Acopon. 5 years since bottling. Clear golden color and near still, no head. Nose citrus and barnyard. Taste lemon, green apple, lightly funky and highly lacto. Average body and no real carbonation.
