    Has anyone cracked-open a 2010 Coffee anytime recently? I'm curious to hear how the coffee aroma/flavor is holding up, if at all. Any commentary would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I drank one in mid-January. The coffee certainly isn't over the top and has faded, particularly in aroma, but the finish definitely has a strong blast of coffee. It's one of my favorite brews.

    I had it on Sunday out of a red cup, 3/10 bottle. The coffee had faded and the red cup was pretty janky, but all in all an excellent beer and still awesome in its own right, it was a bit sweeter than I remembered, again, it is still BCBCS and no red cup hateration held it back.

    Very similar to regular BCS from bottle I recently opened. By no means bad, but nothing gained from aging this as coffee presence just drops out over time

    I prefer the original BCBS to the Coffee, so it's promising to me that the coffee falls off a bit with age...

    Coffee has definitely faded, but it hasn't oxidized in a negative way like some coffee forward beers. I cracked my last one when BCBCS 2011 came out, but if I had more I would treat it like regular Bourbon County at this point.

    Just had one a couple nights ago with a friend. Coffee has faded a bit but it is still drinking beautifully!!!!! Would say it has aged nicely and taken on some nice flavors!!!

    Also just had one a few nights ago. Of course coffee has faded, but it's not gone. Almost spicy finish from the booze/coffee grounds. I thought it was fantastic still. At this point, drink em if you got em!

    Unfortunately the last 2010 I had turned into a old acidic coffee mess. Split it with 3 friends and none of us could finish it. That's the only bottle of Coffee I've ever had that experience with, but it was also the oldest one I've ever opened. Glad not everyone is having that same experience with it.
