    Wanting some feedback on if I should drink fresh or the chilis smooth out with a little age. Had Mexican Cake and felt like the chilis overpowered the base a bit too much and wanted to see how Abraxas compared.

    Assuming you only got one, I'd drink it in a few months. In that period, if you see it on draft, you could change plans and hang onto it for a year. I'd say 3 months from now, anyone who got a (1/6) would have put it on.

    Game theory.

    chilis fade so the entire object of the stout basically disappears with age. my opinion, do not age.

    Thanks for the input! I think I will be drinking it fresh so I can get all the flavor.
