    We just opened 3 of them in the last couple months and as far as I'm concerned, its the best BW ever made. Drinking better than ever.

    Nothing for me, yet, except a cellar full of envy.

    Yep. Here it is next to a Westy 12 for comparison sake of the bottles.

    After reading this thread, I'm weak sauce! I had a 2008 Abyss that I opened a couple months back and split with @kdawgmoney .

    Current oldest brew(s) are from year 2013.

    I will report back next week hopefully. I'm doing 10-15 and an 06. I'm excited to see how they are holding up. The older ones were not in my possession until a few weeks ago so I'm unsure about their cellar life

    I've got an Anchor 2001 Christmas magnum. Maybe we should correlate when we open them.
