2017 a bit too thin compared to previous years. All a 5 or slightly under but 2017 a 4.5 at best. 2012 is by far the best vintage.

2013 vintage was awesome. 2017 vintage much to heavy on the bourbon. Still tasty...but not awesome.

Boozy nose. Rich with dates and chocolate notes. Similar in flavor to KBS to me

I aged 2014 for 3 years in my cellar. SUPER SMOOTH AND GREAT MOUTH FEEL!

B+. Sweeter than Narwhal, kind of a caramel flavor. Good, but not really a stout, more old ale or barleywine. Had the 2022 on 9-30-23. Light on bourbon, vanilla and some roast; a B at best.

Whew. Potent, and packed full of flavor. Hoppy, but necessary to match all the malt. Dang good, but 10 ounces is probably enough in one sitting. Alcohol is very well hidden for the percentage. (2014 vintage was 84 IBU.)
