Blend #1. Deep hazy brown, still. Nose of sour funk, some wood. Taste brings forward the honey, not very sweet but caramel is noted, funky sourness hiding whisky notes. No alcohol burn or booziness. Well above average feel and no carbonation. Hope they make a Blend 2 that is not still and shows whisky.

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.

Excellent all around and similar to when released. Enjoyed with Brad and Mike K at Indiana Dunes.

Great slightly translucent red, light carbonation. Nose light blend of cherry and funk. Taste of cherry is tart with more sour from lactic, very dry. Balanced fruit and funk.

Finishing these off. Nothing special at this point.

Got better as it warmed. Oxidation setting in.

HCBS #21 12 year vertical - stood the test of time but not consensus

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Stood the test of time but not consensus

Accidentally drank, no more 12 year vertical this year. Started a bit green pepper and later became ok. Still pretty great for an old stout.

Wow, this one was very good. Great body, expected flavors, not much degradation.

Nose: bourbon barrel, molasses, fig. Taste: boozy, some oxidation, bourbon, sherry, sawdust. Toffee, Body: rich, light carb.

Super awesome.

Wow, continues to be amazing. Boozy, rich, big cocoa note, Can't find a flaw.

Still amazing. Showing signs of oxidation.

Super good and boozy. The best beer of all.

Had another but forgot to record it. What can you say? 12 year old Porter that did not totally suck. Decent looks, some head and lacing. Nose a bit off, oxidation affecting it and taste. Glad to try and glad it's gone.

The end of an era. Not great, drank the whole thing. Way past its prime.

Over the hill but drinkable. Surprisingly drinkable.

Poolside enjoyment

Similar to recent May tasting. No issues, great taste and looks.

Big pillow head, golden approaching amber color. Musty nose, barnyard, mineral. Taste includes a but of grass, lactic, bitter, and malt brings some decent body.

Simply the best. Jester King beers age amazingly. Peach highly present with exceptional base of funk and sour. 7 of 7 ladies enjoyed with me. Whoever said aging fruited sours is bad was wrong.

Simply amazing and still showing fruit at this age.

Batch 329. Very dark brown pour to tulip, no head or lacing. Nose of vanilla, spice, rum. Taste a touch boozy, spice melds well with the potato and rum. Interesting body that is approaching heavy and works well with the sweetness.

The biggest gusher of my life! Could not get to the sink fast enough. Tiny bit hazy golden, no head retention or lacing. Funky citrus nose, mild ripened cheese, smoke. Taste has wood, tart, funk, some oxidation. Love it!

Lovely, still good cherry flavors. Tempered sourness

Loved by the ladies and men. Fruit still showing, and sourness very low.

Very good. Dove camp.

Cherry still coming through and quite enjoyable. A bit more tart since release.

Finishing these off. Nothing special at this point.
