Very good, seems dryer than fresh. Some chunks at bottom.

Doing very well. Good coffee notes, good finish.

Still big on coffee. Drier than I recall. Excellent.

Coffee prominent. Barrel wood but not not much bourbon. Great overall.

Brew Day at Kyle's. Past prime, better with some air time. Coffee is muted, off flavors taking over. Big body.

Brew day at Kyle's. Drank very well, much better than when fresh. Well balanced across the orange and coriander. Not tasting salt.

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.

Dark pour with small tan head, some retention. Nose brings some of the additions and bourbon. Great raisin and light cinnamon flavors on the base ale. Big body, not very boozy.

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.

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.

HCBS #19. Very good, hints of port. Body not has big as I would like. Great, but slightly disappointed.

HCBS #19. Big finisher for the night. Super big body and hops holding.

Shocked at the great balance. Not too sweet and not overpowered with banana. It's still a BCBS, and hits the mark.

Opened at Jaguar Shark Day. Over the hill but not horrible. Great nose but a bit tannic on finish. Great conversation piece.

Mostly base JK flavors. Did not get much honey. Very good to excellent.

Enjoyed at HCBS #18. Best of night! Crisp, dry, mild tartness, mild oak. Will be looking for more house Saison from them. Loved by all.

Gusher. Spices muted. No off flavor, good but body still too light.

Solid, reminiscent of the BB of days past. Still wanting more body.

Great coffee on nose. Chilis coming through on taste. Some off flavor but really good for the age.
