Much better than regular Smoking Wood, the smoke makes a nice backdrop for the pronounced barrel notes, a great take on a porter, and hides the alcohol well.

Zero head, very little carbonation, sweet, oak, and bourbon up front, and lots of smokiness on the finish. Not bad.

Has held up quite well, though not as much fruit as I remember, which is to be expected. I do feel like the Westvelteren 12 holds up better.

Tasty! Plums have faded a it, but still a solid Belgian quad.

Dark fruit smokiness, delicious, lingering. Must get more!

Such a great sour stout, awesome fruit notes in the nose and on the palate, coupled with a well balanced tartness and mild stout characteristics. Delicious.

Great, consecration and supplication-like, hard to get fruit but not surprising it's fallen out, great beer.

They're not kidding! Really intense, tons of vanilla in the nose, lots of vanilla and cream on the palate with a hint of toastiness. Quite good but pretty intense to drink a lot in one sitting.

Muted nose with some yeast and sugar, great on the palate, no heat at all despite the ABV, candi sugar, grain, delicious.

Batch 88, mild carbonation, almost pitch black, great nose, and such a great ale, "old" or not, balanced and delicious. Glad this was better than the Batch 88 Fred.

Mild sweetness, amazing grainy nose, not very boozy, some mild warming. Delicious. (Batch 87)

A bit malty, but otherwise quite tasty.

Delicious, great bitterness, not too sweet, a balanced DIPA.

A great IPA, an easy pickup any time I see it.

Solid, also. 'Nuff said.

A really solid IPA, extremely balanced and drinkable.

Amazing Stone hop nose, and quite sharp on the palate, but not overwhelming. Tasty.

Very little carbonation, pours a nice dark purple golden, great nose and nicely balanced on the palate. The plum comes through faintly but is definitely there, and the geuze characteristics are all in check. Tasty.

Delicious! Such a great balance of barrel, bourbon, and malt characteristics. The best barleywine I've had in a while.

Great beer, currants and other stone fruits in the nose and on the palate.

Dark, rich, deceptively smooth for the strength. Lives up to its reputation, should get some more!

Better than the last bottle, from what I remember, pitch black, nice thin head, great nose, nice mix of porter sharpness and stout character.

Not as good as I remember on second tasting. A little dull.

Mild nose, minimal head with decent lacing. Warmth and roasted malts immediately apparent, very solid and straightforward take on an Imperial Stout.

Surprising amount of bitterness, possibly from cacao nibs, would pair well with chocolate but not a ton of chocolate sweetness in the beer itself.

More interesting than I remember, but still just good, not great. A little too smooth.

Thin mouthfeel and really mild, but tasty!
