    anyone try aging this? I bought 2...Drank 1 and thought it was great. It's already very smooth out of the gate and I'm not sure how aging will benefit this beer....especially considering its lower abv by BA stout standards. Am curious to hear what others have experienced aging this. Thx!

    I wouldn't do it. I had one a few months before the 2015 release and yikes. It tasted like chewing tobacco. Drink fresh!

    Agreed with Zach. If this most recent batch is anything like the previous, drink it now....or possibly yesterday.

    Figured as much....the way it tasted fresh, tough to see it improving. Thanks!
