Which ones? I had a 2013 Old School Barleywine

I was a little disappointed in. Granted, it was like $15 bucks and a Brewer getting off his shift while I bought it (and a 2014) opened another bottle for me to taste was pretty cool. I loved that brewery visit.


Probably 3-4 dozen or so dating back to 2002.

Olde School, 120, WWS, Palo Santo (first bottlings), Raison D'Extra, Immort Ale, and several 750s (Fort, Black and Blue, SahTea, Bitches Brew, Theobroma, Chateau Jiahu).

I probably need to start snorting through them one of these days.


Yeah some of those are past their prime...

Depending on how long you’ve been aging them. Not many beers truly last a 17 year aging.


Apparently I’ve consumed the older ones—Look at recent post.

Most are within the ten year window. Holler if you want any.


I wish I had the patience for that. I've let things

Sit for about a year but then I'm like, I need to drink these.

The Olde School Bwine I had started to taste like Sherry, which isn't surprising, but not what I was hoping for.

I just picked up a 2015 Bell's Third Coast which I have high hopes for.


Sherry flavor is a sure sign of oxidation of hops

In some aged beers it’s a good thing. In many it’s bad.

I’m not sure third coast is a beer that needs age. Typically you want low hopped, high ABV beers that are bottle conditioned and have the right amount of residual sugar. Barleywines and imperial stouts are best.

Beer isn’t wine and shouldn’t age more than a few years for the right beers. 10 years+ is too much for almost every beer. Thomas Hardy beers being the exception.


I should clarify that it's 3rd Coast Old Ale

one to try right now. Do you know how that bottle was stored for the last 4 years?


I could go straight down that rabbit hole though.

I got it straight from Bell's Brewery, so I'm hoping they took care of it. They had 2015s of Expedition Stout too, that I'm kicking myself I didn't pick up either.


oh that's great. *

The 90 Minute 750's were incredible.

The current version pales in comparison.


I wouldn't recommend snorting beer.

Much better ingested orally.

That's quite the collection though.
