    Eh, it's probably one of the most tame BA beers I've ever had so I say no. I just don't see what time would do for it.

    I'm aging a few. I don't know what'll happen but it was fairly inexpensive so why not.

    Tried it three times now. Haven't gotten a single hint of bourbon. I see it as the Oaked version back in 6pks, nothing more.

    Stone suggests we drink it fresh.

    One of my favorite beers of the last year. I've had lots fresh, and also have a couple dozen set aside to age. I'd agree that the bourbon is subtle, but I've had it at a year out (a bomber from last year's Bastard Box), and think it's at least as good as fresh. Changes from fresh are, like the rest of the beer, subtle.

    I thought it had too much hop presence fresh. Sitting on 2 bottles to see how those mellow.

    I had one from the first batch in six packs this week, it was nothing special. The bourbon is barely detectable fresh and aged it is even harder to taste. It was fine, but I think aging will do little.
