Age/cellar it, the hops will fade and it will be more malty. May defeat the purpose of that particular beer, but they will fade fairly quick and it will give you some idea of what aging does to beers (and a cheap lesson too as you already bought the beer). Open one every 3-4 months. It's 8.5 ABV, should hold up well and become more malty as the hops fade.
BTW, I am not advocating aging beers like this one. Just in this case, he doesn't like the beer he already has, was interested in what aging does to beers.....seems like a slam dunk.
I don't want to start the whole "you're not supposed to age hoppy beers" debate.
