    15 is tasting great right now. I still have one left but it's going to be hard to hang on to it.

    3 Fonteinen oude geuze
    Hanssens oude geuze
    Boon oude geuze
    Girardain oude geuze
    Cantillin oude geuze
    Delirium Tremens
    Orval

    90% off all the bottles aging in my cellar aging are oude geuze simply because I love collecting them and to have a nice bottle to serve on special occasions. I try to add a couple bottles every week.

    '16 Darkling
    '16 last and final judgement
    '16 sebago barleywine
    '16 world wide stout
    '16 helldorado
    '16 blaecorn unidragon - actually i think i should open this up
    '16 barrel aged framinghammer - soon, hoping to get one fresh as well
    '16 bcbs
    '16 bcbbw
    '14 bcbs
    '14 bcbbw
    '16 olde school
    '15? higher math - yea i think i'll open this
    '16 tweak
    '16 BA ten fidy
    '17 vinatta

    I think i'm forgetting a few, and there's more in my "cellar" that i'm just saving for special occasions. I really only started to buy beer to cellar middle of last year (when i got a job and could afford it) so these are the first beers i'm aging, with barrel aged Framinghammer being the first i ever bought to cellar and it's almost a year old.

    off the top of my head- mid-2015 Fin du Monde - 2014 Orval - Love Child No.5 -Sour Monkey - Petrus Aged Red - Lindemands Cuvee Rene Kriek All of them I've had, and aren't rare. But I've never fusked w/ them before, so I'm eager. One Cantillon bio from 2014. A couple flanders reds from 2012. A 2010 Cascade Kriek (I hope it still drinkable). And the rest are just a handful each from places I've lived- Quebec, Rhode Island, Boston, PA. I move through them pretty regularly and only keep a couple/few dozen at once.

    Here's what I got; any comments on how appropriate these are for aging are welcome:

    Gifts from fellow dog walkers, i.e. not aged by choice and the ages are unknown but are surely at least 5 years old:

    Southern Tier Plum Noir 22 oz (will drink tonight)
    Elysian Loser Pale Ale 22 oz
    Wandering Aengus Cider Wanderlust 22 oz (this was a throw in about which I know nothing)

    My purchases:
    2017 Jackie O's Dark Apparition Bourbon Barrel 12.7 oz
    12/30/2016 Founders Curmudgeon 12 oz X3
    10/05/2016 Founders Backwoods Bastard 12 oz X3
    2015 North Point Old Stock Ale 12 oz X4

    I apologize as i copied pasted from my Access DB below.

    From my perspective i have accumulated way too many beers as both 20 bottle wine coolers and the 18 cubic foot beer fridge (aged plus fresh stuff) are currently full. The struggle is the hunter-gatherer instincts keep propelling me to chase the Whales but it will help with Firestone Walker going to a 12 oz format. Went a little crazy with The Abyss last year but since Deschutes jacked up their premium series pricing it sits in the shelves in the greater Phoenix area. Enjoying a 2016 Expedition Stout on the back porch this lovely 80 degree Sunday afternoon. Cheers!
