It was in a mixed holiday case so I'm not sure if they sell them separately or not.I've never seen this one in the stores around here.
Yeah, definitely age it for a few years.I've never seen one of these in the wild before (pictures only) so was really excited to find it. Anticipation, thinking lots of maltiness, maybe toffee, some sweet. All I get is a ton of hop bitterness. Completely overwhelmed my palate and couldn't detect anything else. Very disappointing to me but I'm sure many folks think it's great. Into the vault to check one each year to see if it gets better with age.

Completely agree. I call it a West coast barleywine. Three years will tone that down completely. There's a local brewery here Spyglass that did a really good bw. It's like young Bigfoot but with a lot more maltiness I'd give anything for their recipeYeah, definitely age it for a few years.
I always drink one fresh and sit on the rest. Like others have said give it a couple of years and it will be a completely different beer.I've never seen one of these in the wild before (pictures only) so was really excited to find it.

Maybe I'll be around when it gets good but if not it won't matter to me and my estate will only be out $16.Yeah, definitely age it for a few years.
When we moved 6 years ago I found several from 2013, 14, and 16. I'm not sure why there were no 2015s.I've never seen one of these in the wild before (pictures only) so was really excited to find it.

Dude, I've been in an existential crisis since I was 14 when I started remembering I was reincarnated. Story for another time...beer always helps!
