Sounds to me like you just need hundreds/thousands of craft brews...

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

Damnit Steve!
I read all that and still got cornfused!

Here's my "cellar" so far:

2010 Bells Expedition Stout (6)
2010 Stone Double Bastard
2010 Port Brewing Older Viscosity
2009 Dogfish Head WWS
2010 Great Divide Oak Aged Yeti (2)
Old Rasputin XII
Sierra Nevada 30th Jack and Kens (3)
2010 Schlafly Reserve Imperial Stout
2010 Deschutes The Abyss
AleSmith Speedway Stout(I think it's from 2010)
2011 Goose Island Night Stalker (2)
2011 Founders Imperial Stout (8)
2011 Founders KBS (8)

Some of these will make there way to Dark Lord Day.

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.

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