I beg to differ. I had a tasting with the 2004 & 2005 barley wines and both held up very very well, far better than the dog awful 2008 they have produced.Belgian wrote:2005 Mill Street Barley Wine, the brewer did not recc keeping it this long, and they were right.
I also beg to differ. The bw tasting we did had bottles from 2004, 2005, and 2008 and the 2005 was the clear favourite. It was quite delicious.Torontoblue wrote:I beg to differ.

It all depends on how you cellar and keep the ales my dear chap
I third. The 2005 was a surprise and in a good way. Score one for Sid's cellarmanship.Torontoblue wrote:I beg to differ.

To be fair, we should note that Gedge was there as well, so the anger/jealousy can be spread more equally...Pub Style wrote:Greg, Josh (tuqueboy) and I were lucky enough to sample BrewDog's Tactical Nuclear Penguin this afternoon.

How so?Bobsy wrote:I'm drinking a couple John By Imperial Stouts. I will not be buying any more.
As a stout they're passable, but as an imperial they're a pale imitation, especially with peche mortel and brooklyn black chocolate having recent availability. I feel the bottles I've had this year were were especially thin in body compared to previous versions.TJ wrote:How so?Bobsy wrote:I'm drinking a couple John By Imperial Stouts.
