    the first year was '00 right? just wondering what it would take to score something like that or older vintages around that time, like '00-'04? does anyone even have any?

    We drank an '03 last Sunday and it was definitely over the hill. It was like a slightly bitter barley wine.

    yeah, i can't imagine the oldest vintages being that good. stuff like 07~08 would be worth throwing out some semi-limited (or whatever) beers though, i think. they bring aged DB to festivals and such a lot (i've had mixed results with it... usually dislike, but sometimes find it really spectacular. love it fresh).

    I had an 03 early this year and thought it aged wonderfully. Wonder if cellar temps/storage had anything to do with it.
