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.

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.
