Bottle drunk re-watching Stranger Things 3 to prepare for the final season. Medium brown, small head that returns when swirling. Bananas, bready yeast, caramel biscuit nose. Very smooth rich flavor. Not too alcoholic hot, not too sweet, nice hop balance. That's an excellent barrel aging right there!

Bottle brought by Daniel, thanks! Lightly hazy amber gold, moderate lacy head. Malty, bready nose like a freshly baked loaf of sweet punching bread. Sweet but not syrupy on the tongue, tasty and failure free but not super complex. Pretty one dimensional in that regard. Moderate earthy hops that blend in. Pretty good.

Bottle drunk while catching up on Stranger Things before the final season. Super dark with a thin brown head. Sweet brown sugar nose with light earthy peat notes. More rounded and smooth than the 12y and possibly less oxidized. Light foresty campfire, toasted black and chocolate malt, very big flavor with solid, matching bitterness. Excellent!

Bottle brought by houseguests, thanks Daniel! Light haze, yellow amber, grainy nose with spicy hops and a hint of malt. A bit of astringency, pretty malt-ish on the tongue. It's mildly hopped, earthy, big grain, alright beer and easy drinking.

Black color, thin head, sweet bready roasted malt nose with smoky hints. Flavor is very smooth, moderate hops bitterness, excellent rich mouthfeel with well integrated whisky notes in the finish. Earthy, peaty, great match of this beer with smoky whisky.

Drunk after finishing the cabinet for the M-Plex, at the end of a long day. Enjoyed with my home grown raspberries in tart form. Dark brown, biscuit nose, hint of raisins and fruit. Very smooth, chewy plummy jammy goodness, just a hint of brandy. Excellent smooth, mildly rich flavor.

10 years younger than the last bottle I've tried, and with about 8 years less aging. Light gold. Stone fruit light sour nose, mild head with high carb. Flavor is lightly cara-reminiscent, relatively simple sour flavor, lemon overtones and former-biscuit undertones. Might need more time to age.
