one of the better ipa’s i’ve had

Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #16 Bottled in 2019 Apparently we're gonna do Willettized 2 days in a row. I'm alright with that. Coffee and bourbon first in the aroma, followed by slight chocolate notes and oak. Taste has coffee first, followed by bourbon, oak, roasted malts and a hint of chocolate in the late mid-palate. The coffee's definitely been stronger, but it's still the first to show up. The body is medium-full with an appropriately low amount of carbonation. It's crazy to me how a 2017 bottle barely has any coffee left, but 2 years newer still had plenty of coffee. Cellaring beer is a weird science. 4.5/5

hyvä ipa! maukas juustolautasen kanssa. ostaisin toistekkin.

Barrel Aged Advent Calendar Day #15 Bottled in 2017 Smells like a nice stout with a hint of remaining coffee. Taste has bourbon, roasted malts, some coffee and oak. Based on my memory, this one definitely has more coffee that the one I cracked last year. I could very well be mistaken. There's some booze warmth on the way down, but nothing crazy. The body is medium-full with a lower amount of carbonation. I wasn't expecting a lot with this one, being 8 years old, but it's still a really good stout. As a coffee stout, it's a letdown, but I'm still enjoying it. I haven't seen this year's yet, but I'm ready for it. 4/5

This is very good. Nice taste and not too fruity.

Ok, not much flavor but it is kind of fruity and slightly has a pine aftertaste, overall not very flavorful

Noh, olis ehkä kelpo ipa kuusprossasena. Nyt maistuu ihan liikaa alkoholi, ei ipa. Jää hyllyyn seuraavalla kerralla.
