Our Chronology series is an experiment with time. A single beer will be aged in bourbon barrels and be released 6, 12, 18 and 24 month periods. Delicious while fresh, but existing to taste side by side upon each subsequent released as time moves forward.

==Introduction==

Just when I thought the end of the original Chronology series (Old Ale) was complete, the Bruery released the last installment to the Reserve Society to 2016 and 2015 members. This beer has been aging for 2 years and typically with big brews, develops characters so complex, it is like you a drinking a blend of fancy desserts. Craft beer, the adult version of ice cream! Let’s see where this goes, cheers!

Aftertaste:
Finishing with Cadbury cream eggs, dark fruit, stone fruit, rich pecan pie, bananas, stone fruit, bourbon, piloncillo sugar cone, caramel chocolate cheesecake, coconut, oak, earthy notes, marshmallows and rocky road ice cream. No alcohol in the taste despite the ABV as it has developed like a fine wine. Dark crimson full body, creamy, smooth, velvety and syrupy mouthfeel.

Overall:
Above Exceptional and close to a bucket lister. Age has really done wonders far more than the 18 month one. The Cadburry chocolate cream egg, pecan pie and bananas are way stronger in this one and even more mind blown. This one would definitely be good to age for many more years to see what one day it would be like. Highly recommended for those that love the strong beers!

Anime Corner:
Chou’un Shiryuu from Ikki Tousen/Battle Vixens was chosen in this pairing as the final character to go with the theme of the beer. For the longest time I have been using characters that associate with time itself but also with the colors of the label. This time I mainly went for the colors but the bad assery that this character is as she is a powerful character in the series.
