Fantastic! Hint of mushroom and light sourness. Carbonation dropped off but otherwise excellent.

Thin body but tasty stout. Nose full of bourbon, wood, and chocolate. Taste boozy, powder cocoa, sweet malts. Body could be fuller, still very enjoyable.

Seems to be a smoked malt. A bit oxidized but still good in general. A little mysterious.

Clear light yellow, not much carbonation, so minimal head, no lacing. Basil dominates the nose in a good way, hard to pick up the base funk. Taste balances the pineapple with the basil. The additions must been significant. Glad to had this one chance to drink this ale.

Smooth drinking at F1 with Patrick. Brilliant creation.

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

Beautiful drink on Valentine's Day! Good fruit and minimal sourness.

Fruits show well as it warms. First pour clear red hued color while later pour more cloudy and brownish from yeast. Peaches more prominent on nose. Both fruits subtle on taste. Really aged well.

So rich and wonderful. Coffee and chocolate notes with perfect booziness backing it up. Need to start collecting these.

A bit over the hill, still enjoyed.

Extreme sour with Apricot well represented.

Very dark brown, small brown head, ring of retention. Nose leads with wood, follows with bourbon, light roasted malt. Taste big on bourbon, boozy, great backdrop of base stout chocolate. Lighter body and light carbonation.

No gusher this time. Great balance of tart and funk. Mild hop presence.

Simply amazing. Gusher. Everything else is perfect. Great flavors with small oxidation.

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

Drinking well. Seems a bit more bitter.

Drinking very good, moderate sour, no roughness or soapiness.

Aging well. Really enjoying the balanced sour and Brett. Looking forward to more.

Carbonation low but present, dark copper, clear. Nose with touch of butterscotch. Taste melds the honey ,wood, whiskey. Love this ale.

Pours black, brown head, some lacing. Nose light roasted malt, vanilla, dog biscuit. Taste creamy coffee, chocolate, cocoa nibs, slight anise, mildly bitter finish. Big body with higher than expected carbonation. Much more of an experience than expected.
