Drinking a 2006 right now and sharing with a 2008. The 06 is sweeter and just a bit higher alcohol. They are both delicious and probably the best beer I've ever had. Dark, heavy, roast, almost stains the glass with its color. It takes almost an hour to appreciate one of these. This is not a beer for a casual drinker but I would recommend this to anyone.
