Old Rasputin XIV (2011)
Doing some cellar diving tonight and popped this bottle.
Beer is tasting great. Big dark fruit and chocolate notes. Barrel notes are still present but have integrated nicely. I remember this being pretty hot fresh but it's drinking smooth now.
This beer still probably has legs to go a couple more years but it's tasting wonderful at the moment. But I still flinch at that initial sticker price even 3 years later. $23 for a 500 ml? It's a great one but FFFFFUUUUUUUUU.
I'd rather buy a Gueze. I must be maturing.
