Batch 4 Fred and Batch 29 Adam

Has anyone tried batch 4 Fred or batch 29 Adam lately?? Rec'd as an Xmas gift but haven't tasted any 1998 stuff latest except a Westy 12 and it was excellent. Thanks in advance for ur help

Why not just drink them and find out if they are good?

Guess I'll have to now

...or post in the cellaring/aging beer forum.

Can't say myself as I've never had the opportunity to try any HOtD beers.

Had a batch 27 Adam earlier this year and it was terrific -- really earthy/leathery, just some slight papery oxidation. Made me very happy.

Haven't had a Fred that old, but by all accounts they age very, very well. I'll ping some guys who opened one earlier in the year and see if they have any tasting notes.

Thank you - I'll hold off for a while
