look: 3 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

Incomplete vertical, 09, 10, 11 and 13 tried side by side split four ways with friends.

09: Pours black colored and completely flat. No carbonation. Smells old. Very sweet with hints of oxidization, soy, a hint of bourbon barrel, and caramel. Tastes past its prime as well and definitely off. I get notes of anise, oak, vanilla, caramel, woody barrel and slight leather. Integrated flavors but they’ve definitely turned. Booze still comes through. Flat, medium-full body, borderline sour mouthfeel.

10: Everything good about the 09 is here without any of the bad. Thin quick lived head that faded into a very thin bubbly collar was present. Tons of bourbon, vanilla, slight fudge, caramel, toasted marshmallow. Boozy, medium-full body, nice soft carbonation, most integrated barrel and smoothest of all of them. Slight roasted coconut.

11: Very flat but not as bad as 09. Also tastes slightly turned, but again, not nearly as bad as 09. Similar flavors to 10 but not as bright, which is strange. Coconut chocolate brown sugar etc. More booze as 10.

13: Bright and full flavors, surprisingly not significantly more boozy than the aged bottles. Full body, thick, warming mouth, really good bourbon flavor, creamy, chocolate, fudge, really good. Also had a thin head and collar after the pour.

13 is fresh and bright but might do well with a bit of age. 11 is good but near flat and not as good as 10. 10 still has its carb and has the most balanced and integrated flavors but is showing its age. Do not age it any longer. 09 was gross. I’d say 10 and 11 are close, with 10 being better, and 13 is drinking good fresh. Would have been interesting to see how 12 was. Cheers.
