Really? I love WWS it's probably my favorite imperial stout. That said TNs distribution is horrible so I haven't had TOO many even worth mentioning. :td

I did not see a brew date on the St. Bernardus. The Delirium's I bought last week were dated Feb 2010. |
Re: Aging Beer?
Bought a bottle of Lost Abbey Serpent's Stout with the intention of aging 2-3 years. Thougths?

Re: Aging Beer?
I was at a liquor store last night and they had a couple bottles of Rogue Imperial Stout from 2007. It seemed strange because they don't have much of a beer selection there, and they were tucked on an end cap with the Chimays.
It didn't look like the usual Rogue bombers with the painted labels - It was kind of frosty and gray and dated prominently on the bottle. It was $15/bottle, so I didn't get one. Should I go back and pick one up? |
Re: Aging Beer?
Had a bottle of Chimay Bleue Grand Reserve 2010 (75 cl) yesterday.... but much cheaper than over there.. app. USD 5.00

I picked up four Allagash "black" Belgian Style Stout's in 750 ml bottles at Costco. Two, I drank with a friend last night to get a base impression. The remaining two I plan to age for 4-5 years.
What are your impressions on this beer? |

Perhaps a trade is in order :) There's one liqour store in Detroit that the GI website says has GI products. Unfortunately I'd be risking my life to go there to check it out :td No exaggeration not one of the good areas in Detroit. |

I got a few other funny detroit stories, but well they aren't for OPEN discussion. As they sound horrible racist ...and it wasn't me...it was the Detroit PD! As far as aging beer.....I drink it. It's too hard to age it. It's easy to not touch cigars when you have hundreds/thousands. It's hard not to see a delicious craft brew and not drink it. AMIRITE? |
Re: Aging Beer?
I shared a bottle of 2002 Chocolate Stout at the VCM Holiday Herf yesterday. It was fantastic, very smooth, some folks said it was like a nice, rich sherry. Fortunately I still have 2 or 3 bottles left for additional special occasions.

Re: Aging Beer?
Don't want to confuse you. You're probably thinking Bourbon, not Black Chocolate. Read the thread earlier and saw the confusion. The black chocolate stout is $8 a 4 pack. If I could even find bourbon stout I'd buy some, and at $8 for 4 I'd buy the store out:D

Re: Aging Beer?
Damnit Steve!
I read all that and still got cornfused! |

Re: Aging Beer?
My cellar consists of 2 growlers of my buddy's home brew, and a five pack of Bells Batch 10,000.
As far as aging... Does a hoppy beer mellow out as it ages? What changes in the beer? Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Aging Beer?
The only reason I'm aging the bells is because the website said it headman unlimited shelf life. So I put it in an old entertainment center cabinet in my basement. The two home-brews are just waiting for the next time my friend visits.

Re: Aging Beer?
Hop bitterness mellows, not sure what the chemistry behind it is though.
