    How does Brooklyn Black Ops hold up? Wondering whether I should crack that sooner rather than later. Never had it before and I recently got it in a trade.

    Peche Mortel (Dieu Du Ciel) with a year or two on it is pretty good. North Coast's Old Rasputin is definitely good as well.

    Goose Island Bourbon County Stout aged 2-3 yrs is outstanding.

    & i'll second the vote for Old Rasputin XII Anniversary - which looks like was dropped or is being counted as regular ole Old Rasputin.

    not the right space but would love to (at some point) discover what guys that noted the regular iteration (Old Rasp) -- felt improved/changed. i worked through some 08s & 09s that except for the carb lessening, haven't budged IMHO.

    We're only listing beers that get at least two nods. I'm keeping track of all mentioned (or trying to anyway).

    I really like Mephistopheles with a bit of age on it.

    I'd be happy to, but I stopped as input trickled out.

    as someone just getting into cellaring, I say bring it back! I see someone tried to revive this thread, but this is very useful. From the list available now, I see at least 6 brews that most people seem to agree are worth aging

    What the hell...

    Moving forward, only displaying those with 5 nods or higher (will keep track of all input though).

    Including my own updated input as it's been quite awhile and I've had the pleasure of tasting various aged stouts since then.
