We present six epochs of spectropolarimetric observations of the
hot-Jupiter-hosting star \$\tau\$ Boötis that extend the exceptional previous
multi-year data set of its large-scale magnetic field. Our results confirm that
the large-scale magnetic field of \$\tau\$ Boötis varies cyclicly, with the
observation of two further magnetic reversals; between December 2013 and May
2014 and between January and March 2015. We also show that the field evolves in
a broadly solar-type manner in contrast to other F-type stars. We further
present new results which indicate that the chromospheric activity cycle and
the magnetic activity cycles are related, which would indicate a very rapid
magnetic cycle. As an exemplar of long-term magnetic field evolution, \$\tau\$
Boötis and this longterm monitoring campaign presents a unique opportunity
for studying stellar magnetic cycles.
