Enjoyed at HCBS #30

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

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.

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.

Super port bomb. Loved by all that tasted

Poker at Jason's. Super awesome, no off flavors. Enjoyed by all.

Big dried fruit flavor, thick, sweet, light oxidation.

Continues to please. Need more.

Big dried fruit, apricot, smooth, slight oxidation.

Enjoyed at Mustang Island State Park with wonderful cheeses. Had that drying coffee notes with decent above normal body. Very good!

Poker at Jason's. Ages very well and enjoyed by all. Good wood and molasses flavors.

The citrus with funk led to sour that was a bit much.

Coming in more like a mild sour than saison. Missing Belgian esters, more farmhouse.

Black with small head. Nose has umami notes, charcoal grill in a good way. Taste more chocolatey and sweet, molasses, booze, fig, cocao powder. Big body and low carb. Held up for 7 years.

Looks like most BCBS, black, minimal head. Molasses and cola on the nose. Taste beckons to cola, boozy, coconut, chocolate. Big body and low carbonation.

Pours black with beige head, low retention and lacing. Sherry and wood on nose with slight vanilla. Taste rich chocolate, sherry, cherry, boozy. Huge mouth feel and mild carbonation. Fantastic!

Enjoyed in the pool.

Deep red color, not much head. Nose dominated by berry. Taste also very berry, raspberry and strawberry. Hides 12% very well.

Wide variety of flavors. Berries hit hard with backup by chocolate. Love it!

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.

Simply perfect. Not too sour and blueberry coming in very well.

Light purple color on light base beer, still. Light funk on nose. Blueberry present on taste but light, mild sour, good balance.

Loved by all. Good fruit flavor and very drinkable.

Over the top Brett. Gusher. Still very good.
