Who's been drinking this

Solid, but in this crowd that makes it slightly of little note.
Had all the right words and color, but the taste was strongly 'ick'. It didn't make me a happy face. It has likely been aging at home for a while in the fridge - up to a year. So I'm willing to blame it on a bad batch/bottle/storage and try it once more just to see if this was an anomaly.
Bottle at Home
Nice thin acidic start. Middle is roasty toasty. Fishes with slight tang and coffeeish flavor
Frighteningly drinkable, with strong caramel and bourbon. Distinct improvement on the unaged version.
