Dos: So, I’m half and half on the aging of this beer. I think the taste got a little blandish with age, but a good thing is that it kept. Still has the nose, and the taste isn’t flat or anything, but it just doesn’t seem as tasty as it was the first time. I almost like it better as I am going in for the sip than the actual sip itself. I mean like I say a lot, the Dogfish and Sam Adams are my two favorites, so yes yes they may get a little higher rating than they possibly should have, but whatever, it’s my review! I mean this is a very good beer don’t get me wrong, but I liked it better the first time, just like the chick I picked up at laser tag last week, than the second time when I could actually know what I was doing, I mean drinking. Score = 4.221

Fermentation: Ok, ever seen that movie Brown Sugar? Yah, well Mos Def’s role was better than what this beer’s role was in my night. I don’t think aging did this beer any justice, infact sorta like the movie Brown Sugar. I would say buy and it and drink it, don’t cellar this one. This Lager was strong in the sweetness level (once again not my cup of tea or beer for that matter). Keep the malt for someone else and hand me a hoppy beer. Still good job to Jim Koch a crew. DRINK IT NOWWWW Score = 3.024

Overall = 3.6225
