Mar 5, 2007 2000 750ml bottle of "Stoudt’s Y2K IPA" - I have to admit that I’m a bit apprehensive about trying a 6-7 year old IPA. Maybe a 7 year old DFH 120 would have held up, but a standard IPA? This is a challenge. Sweet, rich aroma that is a bit floral with some almost sweet-potato like essence. Taste starts out sweet - a bit like their Double IPA. There is an interesting grainy, earthy taste that makes it pretty unique. Unfortunately, it gets a bit too thin at the end. There is almost a farmhouse-ish taste in this one. Glad to have tried it, but I really hope they bring it back at some point so I can try a fresh one.

Mar 2, 2007 Bottle. I usually like most Stoudts, but I was actually a little disappointed in this one. Did not have the hoppy aroma or flavor that I was expecting. Seemed to be a lttle watered down...a little bland.

Feb 26, 2007 Cloudy brown pour with a creamy head. A little floral hops in the nose with a some malt among the similarly floral hops.

Feb 14, 2007 This one supposedly had been aged and the hop presence was definitely lacking for an IPA. Murky brown pour. Caramel malts and dark fruit. Some hops but very subdued. Not awful by any means, but this isn’t what I expect in an IPA.

Feb 12, 2007 Plain. A little old maybe? The hop presence was light, far too light for an ipa. Some malt sweetness and faint hops in the flavor.

Feb 12, 2007 The fact that this beer is retired makes sense. The aroma was a little sweet for an IPA, and the floral nature of the aroma barely pokes through on the palate. It was kinda bland and a little too sweet to me. Maybe time was not this beers friend and it just overmellowed it, but I didn’t particularly care for it, as it was pretty pedestrian.

Feb 11, 2007 Updated: Nov 22, 2007Poured from a two or three year old 750. Syrupy orange pour that appears as spirit. Huge, strong malts in the aroma with touches of aerosol and pineapple. An anvil weight of caramel and woods flavors. Rich, earthy texture. The hops laid down to sleep long ago, and have slowly, quietly sunk into the soil. Almost no bitterness; slippery oxidation. Rather intriguing. Thanks for sharing, Dan!

Feb 10, 2007 Bottle.. This beer aged very well. 2002 vintage aged almost 5 years. Rich amber in color with a foamy light tan head fading into a heavy sticky lace. I think the extra age added quite a bit to the alcohol flavor, however the beer was so well balanced, it added to the flavor character. The maltiness is almost fruity but a touch of honey. Age it carefully and enjoy.
