I thought it was a 2015, or16, but I see on the label is was 2013. Wow, it cellared very well, only a little oxidation, but it didn’t hurt much. Malty and roasty, lots of big beer flavors, highly recommended 👍👌👏🏻

2013 vintage. Super soft and smooth. Great mouthfeel and loads of flavor. Incredibly soft carbonation.

Hal Hickey: They do a lot of small batches. Big Bad Baptist is my favorite. But this BW is unique for its soft/smooth texture. Cellar time didn't hurt.

Found this in the back of the cellar. Hoped it would be more complex after 6 years. Mostly oxidized hops and cardboard. Worth a shot.

Aroma wonderful. Very dry finish. Bitter also. Thin body after 6 years

Tastes more like an English, perhaps due to this being 6.5 years old and the hop bitterness fading.

Still a decent bite for it's age; good flavour with a light hop bite.
