    What're your thoughts? Not much info as far as ratings go.

    I think it's very good now with the potential to be outstanding in about 2 years.

    Had it a month or so ago and thought it was OK...

    Had it this past weekend and felt as though it had come a long way!!!

    I think this has tremendous potential if aged and I will buy it up every chance I get!

    Yeah? I bought two bottles the other day with the intentions of aging them. What do you think? 2-3 years should be enough?

    It could definitely stand some aging, but the one I had last week was drinking mighty fine already- nothing too hot or harsh about it at all.

    I thought it was pretty bad and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.i don't see it improving either. Victory's barrel aged beers are mediocre at best in my opinion.
