Had with Kyle on brew day. Not doing well. Mostly drain poured. Very oxidized.

Gift to John McIntosh at PJ's house.

Great as expected. Sugars mellowing a bit. Notes of vanilla and possibly licorice.

Shared at Memorial Day party. Loved by all.

Slight mineral nose. Oaky taste, no whisky, thin, not the greatest but good.

Super good, chocolatey, boozy. At 4 years this rocks!

A little boozy, lower body, delicious

Drinking very well, full body, small degradation. Nose very good with rye and wood notes. Good wood on taste but lacking on rye due to off flavor. Enjoyed watching F1 from RV in Galveston.

Slight oxidation. Getting it done while still great The rye barrel adds great component.

Fantastic chocolate flavor. Some barrel but not much bourbon. Surprisingly good at this age.

Love it! The longevity of these old Garret beers is amazing. Lime salt very present. Cherries not as much.

Enjoyed at HCBS #17. Great welcome beer, so easy to drink and loved by all.

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

HCBS #21 12 year vertical. Most loved!

Enjoyed at HCBS #17. Did not stand up as well as the 2013 surprisingly. Had a fresher chocolate taste, but thinner body. Not the favorite.

Poolside share with my babe, Patrick, Sue, Janine, and Sam. Accolades from all. Amazing for the age and great flavors.

Tastes like JK. No trace of degradation.

Great, started drinking in the pool. Had to finish next day

Great share with Seth and Janine.

Good but not the best.

First notes of vanilla. Taste: barrel back, coconut, orange peel, chocolate, boozy.

Drinking great, a little boozy. Taste complex of bourbon, chocolate, berries.

Enjoyed with Uncle Bob.

Not my fav from Vista. Has a wine taste that is not very complimentary to the base beer. Still drinkable.

Really this was less sour, as that is dominating. No signs of a dark pilsner.

Very good balance of fruit and sour. Amazing at 7 years!

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.
