As we all travel along our individual journey of discovery, ( which quite honestly is so fascinating) how do you begin to account for the added knowledge, variety and complexity of the styles and variations you have experienced? Simplistically, I am now enjoying a Rogues Chocolate Stout. Yes, it is still enjoyable, but over the last couple couple of years I have a had several others that equal,or surpass. As my experience grows so my " ratings" change. Should I go back and change my original,ratings?
I've had the dilemma many times. Going back to look at a beer I had months or even years ago and being surprised at how low or high my score was. I've changed my ratings depending on how far off they have become.
