Have some year old DFH 90 minute. Much smoother less hoppy very good, but different from fresh.

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.

No more acronyms from me

I was referring to Black Chocolate stout. Isn't the Bourbon County Stout like impossible to find? I suppose I could do some searching around here.

You mean at your house or in WI?

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

No exaggeration not one of the good areas in Detroit.

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?

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.

Nice!! I can't even get that here now.
The buyer at my favorite liquor store totally screwed the pooch on this one.

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?

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.

Hop bitterness mellows, not sure what the chemistry behind it is though.
