January 2014 bottle, drank March 2021 out of a tulip.

Looked nice and had a nice little swirl of head around the edges despite an insignificant carbo pop of the cap to open. Smell was a bit toasty and nothing more, taste followed. I might have detected a trace of burnt orange, but it wasn’t anything all that impressive. It would have been great if it was sweet which was what I was expecting, but no. Feel was thinner than medium to thin, also on that lighter side of what I was expecting.

I don’t think time did this beer any favors, but after reading a few reviews, I think it’s somewhat overhyped as well. I’ve had much better HF stouts.
