Over the hill, finish astringent. Nose of mulch.

More of a cola nose, taste is quite good, malts and chocolate with modest oxidation, finish has good flavors, similar body and carbonation

Head present, molasses, chocolate, increasingly better

Excellent, bright nose, more chocolate, cardamon noted, well enjoyed

Most getting the orange and vanilla but not the same appeal as past years 2017 was best enjoyed

Still impressive. Picking up some cayenne, cinnamon. Seemed a bit stale at first but really opened up nicely.

Spicier, clove, well within the window, next to no oxidation

Great plum coming through. Another big winner from Vista.

Plum still very present. Excellent ale!

Fruit very prominent. Mild cheesiness, works very well with the sourness. Very old school.

Flavor fallen off. Decent carbonation. Still better than expected.

Overall good but oxidation present. Getting the coffee, vanilla, some cocoa. Some heat way in the finish but highly muted. Enjoyed

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.

Same as posting on BA. Dark copper color with no head. Sweet aromas overpower with a slight hint of cherry. Chocolate and cherry are more prominent in the flavors but the overall sensation is a bit like cough syrup. Thicker mouthfeel and alcohol present but not as much as expected.

Flat, signs of oxidation. Did not last for the long haul.

A little flat but amazing flavors. No real indication of degradation.

Had right after 2013. More carbonation and nearly identical flavors. Milder sourness, brown ale backbone.

Great with no degradation over the 8 years.

Extremely enjoyable. Nose is light with some almond, but flavors are big. Blueberry highly present, a bit of almond also on taste. Boozy and great bourbon compliment.

Blueberry present. Almond also quite prominent. Home Depot dove hunt

Enjoyed first night on Port A beach permit. The beer was tasting on point. Fruity, nutty, not a single flaw. Sweet and full body.

Drinking better now, still sweet but more integrated flavors.
