    Ran into a few of these awhile back and haven't popped one yet. Any experience with this one?

    Seen a 2008 and passed on it but now wish I would of picked it up. I've had a 2011 a fewonths ago and it was good... but nothing beat it when I had it on tap fresh....

    Well discussed on here. DB turns into a much more malt forward, awesomely delicious beer over time. If you enjoy the hop bomb it is fresh, don't age it. If you prefer a mellower bite, aging it does wonders.

    Just had 2010 on tap. Still very hoppy with a good malt presence.

    I absolutely love how these age. I tried a 2008 last week and it was much less hoppy than the 2013. Very smooth - almost more like an English barleywine. I have a 2006 that I plan to try soon.

    I bought a case (12) of these and have been drinking one every 6 months of so. Only getting better.
