Remarkably good at 4 years, especially when warmer.

A little past best by date. Very good, dry, funky and moderately sour with cherries integrated rather than playing first fiddle. Nose is primarily cherry, but taste brings many other notes. Medium light body and does not retain carbonation.

Overflowed. Still a great taste. Light bodied. Has more time.

Very low oxidation for its age. Enjoyed it.

Past prime but drinkable. Oxidation well set in.

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

Great taste

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.

Bottle marked 11.1% but no date. Enjoying this batch, drier, more drinkable.

Under a micro harvest moon, hard to rate visual. 2017 release, minimal head or lacing. Nose carries wood, caramel, whisky. Taste is excellent, dried fruit, booze, treacle, fig, caramel malt, tannins in balance. Big body, light carbonation.

Even cleaner than the green bottle.

Clean and delicious.

Amber color with some white foam and effervescence. Nose a tad funky with wood notes. Taste is a lactic sour with the spearmint melding well along the mild bourbon barrel.

Near still, taste fantastic. Big body and Carmel.
