    I found The Dissident last summer, it's an Oud Bruin. I was considering drinking it sometime in the next few weeks, but I expect it will continue to mature. I was very glad to have found it, it's not even a yearly release. How long can it age?

    A little hot fresh and hits it's stride with a year or more on it, so I think drinking yours at any point in the next few years will be fine.
    As a side note, the Dissident was last released in 2012 and is released every two years. However, starting this year it will be released yearly.

    Just had some at a competition; it was straight from the brewery, I assume it was the most recent release.

    It was pleasant, enjoyably tart, no heat. I would continue aging for a while, there was some sweet flavor that stood out in the finish, might continue to balance out and develop.

    I had one recently, and mine was just bad. Sharply phenolic and band-aid-ey. I have a few more bottle of the same vintage. I'll try one per year.

    I opened my 2008 bottle in 2012. It was a shell of its former self. Loved it on tap fresh, though and highly recommend if you can find it. Tap > Bottle for me with this beer.

    Usually August-ish.
