I'm a long time over FWs blends, and barrel program, there's just too much sameness about a plethora of beers, and they generally aren't things that I care for a great deal anyway. That combo means that I'm not much interested or intrigued (with a...
Mmmm ... I thought I might like this, but to be honest that I was against my better judgment, and I think this is probably the Firestone Walker that breaks the camel's back for me. All of the these blends and barrels rarely pull up anything of...
I think that I've simply lost what little love that I ever had for beers such as the Firestone Walker Anniversary Series. I mean I am glad that they are making them - it shows a solid commitment to a craft - but when ones looks at the blend that...
Dark chestnut approaching black pour, with a great looking mocha head. Surprisingly rich looking head (and good lace and retention) for such a massive ABV. Also surprisingly, the beer gives up mostly chocolate on the nose. As it opens up with...
Another cellar-dweller. Murky dark brown pour, no head to speak of at this age, but all the nose you can handle. Barrel aged alcohol still hanging on, even now. Some black flecks of sediment. Same can be said of the taste profile. Is it...

Notes added 03/06/2022 I think this is now 12 years old, possibly a little more. I was inspired to crack it on the basis of just ordering the 25th Anniversary Ale from FW. I still have a XII and an Eleven left to crack. They’ll be opened very soon....

This 12 oz bottle graces my table courtesy of Robert; many thanks! Pour is a slightly clouded, deep orange in typical American IPA style. Head is small and white but has some fine lace. Nose has the requisite soapy and citrus notes, but is is...
Elaborate and informative labels, looks classy. This definitely felt more like Pale Ale than an Amber, with its pale orange appearance, mild lacing and decent head. Not much nose to speak of, but a little bit of citrus hoppiness present. As others...
