    I stumbled into a dumpy B&W today on a whim. They had all the macros and a small craft area. I was surprised to find there a shelf full of two DFH beers - 2010 world wide stout and 2012 saison du buff. Both going for $9.99 a bottle. No idea how these stouts have been treated over the years. Does this seem like a good buy? Would any of you BAs snatch them up? I don't think they are going anywhere soon. Maybe snag one and see how it's doing?

    My question is more regarding the wws than the saison.

    I would definitely snag a WWS and try it. If it's aged properly it should be excellent right now, especially after 4 years of ageing. If it sucks you're only out $9.99 - big deal. You'll never know if it's good unless you try one. Definitely worth the risk.

    2012 saison du buff I found in the bargain bin for $2 so I'd say that isn't a good buy.

    However it was interesting and tasty.

    WWS ages very well, it's arguably better with 2-6 years on it than when fresh

    I bought 2 cases of 2011 wws in 2011. They have indeed continued to improve with age. I have one every couple months. I will drive to Maryland and buy them if you don't want them.

    2010 is drinking fantastic right now.

    I'd certainly trade for one or two if you'd be interested...

    This.

    This is very true. Drink it now. Had one a few months back.
