    I recevied this an a BIF recently. Not sure what it is.

    http://alesmith.com/beers/decadence/

    From looking at the Alesmith site it changes from release to release. Is it very limited? Should I drink it NOW or cellar it? If cellard how long will it last?

    Going to a tasting this weekend and looking over my cellar wondering what to take. Since this is NOT available anywhere near me I was thinking of taking it. What do you all think?

    Thanks and Cheers

    If you look at the bottle about 1 inch up from the center bottom it says the style. If its this years its a maple smoked barleywine. If its last years its an Old Ale.
    Hope this helps

    It should say the style that it is on the bottle. That would tell you what year it is and how valuable it is.

    It's not that smoke-like.

    I hate smoked beers and actually enjoyed this quite a bit.
