Great flavors, very much true to style.

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Solid.

Enjoyed at HCBS #15. Holding up well and loved by all.

Taste very good but body seemed a bit thinner than expected.

Somerset dove camp. Drinking at peak.

Nose: varnish. Taste: harsh, not good finish. Body: thinner, not best feel.

Perfect as expected

Happy New Year!

Wonderful at 3 years

Great, no noticable oxidation. Still boozy.

At Komie's for the 4th. Well liked by all, caramel, wood, boozy.

Almost no foam on pour. Outstanding flavors.

Enjoyed at Blast n Cast. Drinking incredibly well. Nose is perfect, very minor oxidation on taste. Great molasses booziness. Finish is slightly flawed.

Enjoyed in pool. Loved it.

Falling in flavor with some improvement with air time.

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Worst of show, boozy.

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

At 8 years old the taste was spectacular. Near still at this point. Sourness present but not overwhelming. Sad to see the last of this vintage go.

Similar to Blend 2 at this time.

Very dark amber. Oxidation has set in, yet drinkable but highly sour.

Drinking perfectly. Dark golden, no head, crisp. Tartness matches the lime mild funk. One of the best lime flavors I've had.

HCBS #19. Very good but not as great as the last one. Finish not top notch

Amazing. No signs of decay. Big coffee and chocolate notes. Fantastic from beginning to end.

Perfection in a bottle

Amazing level of coffee. Stout might be fading a touch.

Wonderful body and taste

Great coffee abound. Love it still.

At Komie's for the 4th. Well liked by all, caramel, wood, boozy.

Almost no foam on pour. Outstanding flavors.

Excellent in flavors and restrained sour.

Clean sour, will last a long time.

Loved it, need more.

Very much enjoyed while preparing Yule prime rib.

Fantastic at 12 years old! Has not fallen as hard as I thought. Hint of lavender on taste.

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.

Bounced back with big berries well integrated. Legendary beer, will be missed.

Notes of oxidation but otherwise spectacular. Hard to believe at 5 years so good.

Small signs of oxidation and still excellent. Berries still present on nose and on taste but do not linger.

Super port bomb. Loved by all that tasted

Poker at Jason's. Super awesome, no off flavors. Enjoyed by all.

Big dried fruit flavor, thick, sweet, light oxidation.

Continues to please. Need more.

Big dried fruit, apricot, smooth, slight oxidation.

Cherries on nose have faded on taste, but the beer remains incredible. Blackberries taking center stage surprisingly. Not getting much salt or rye.

Deep amber with a touch of copper color, clear, inch of head, minimal retention. Flavor and nose typical JK. Not super sour, so easier to drink. Enjoyable.
