A little too strong but still not too bad. Not sure I’d get it again given other options.

Good, sweet old ale, but has a bit of an odd finish.

Malty and sweet. A big beer. Enjoyed it quite a bit, but it's definitely a sipper.

Been sitting on his one for a while. Bottle 42 of 1800. A rich, burnt caramel and dark fruit strong ale aged in French Brandy barrels.

Bottle 101 of 1800. Dark boozy syrup at this point. A little oxidized. Not bad, but this bottle at least didn't age gracefully.

John P.: Like I said it wasn't *bad*, it just.. you know it was better, and it could be better. I mean, I can't argue with the price...

Experiments in aging! This brandy barrel aged strong ale has a dry, boozy, slightly muddled sweetness. Tastes a bit musty.
