Great and aged well.

Batch 1. Poured to snifter, clear golden approaching amber with white head, very little retention or lacing. Fruity nose with elements of yeast. Flavors follow nose with green apple, lime. Average body and below average carbonation.

Bottle pour to snifter, deep brownish red, tiny head, no lacing. Nose full of raspberry. Taste follows with a lactic sour that is not too extreme but still sour. Mouthfeel is higher than I expected for the style. Jammy raspberry done very well.

Really falling off. Lacking most flavor. Not really off, but need to roll through these.

Great Father's Day treat with Scott and Michelle. Oxidation quite present but not a deal buster.

Superb on Valentine's Day!

Enjoyed at HCBS #10. Everyone loved this 10-year-old ale. Spectacular nose and taste, floral, and distinctly Westvleteren.

Dec 12 special and excellent. Amazing after 9 years. Trying to find flaws and not happening.

Enjoyed at Pat and Sue's. Still wonderful.

8 years old and outstanding. The bubbles on pour fully present and active. Nose has all the wonderful westy notes. Taste full with minimal oxidation. Very impressed.

Merry Christmas on Lake Texoma! Hiss on open but no head, near still, brown. Nose having a caramel accent. Taste is divine as fresh.

Strong boozy, drinking well with some oxidation notes. Will watch for years to come.

Tasting wonderful tonight.

Outstanding as ever. Slight oxidation.

Absolutely continues to amaze.

Oxidation present on taste. Still carrying the excellent qualities as expected.

Solids but oxidation more visible. Fine ale.

Holding up well. Great balance of sour and funk, very grand cru.

Leaning more sour. Still great taste and wood notes.

Amazing. No negative qualities I can find. Chili showing as expected. Super smooth. Nice light burn on the finish.

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

Falling in flavor with some improvement with air time.

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

Similar to last time. Now showing some off flavors. Still amazing.

Really good. Robust smoked malt, anise flavors. Great body.

Still drinking wonderfully at 4 years.
